Budibase DB

Overview

The Budibase DB node allows interaction with the Budibase DB Public API, enabling users to perform various operations on Budibase applications and their data. Specifically, the "Get Application" operation retrieves details about a specific Budibase application by its App ID. This is useful for scenarios where you need to fetch metadata or configuration of an app within Budibase, such as integrating app information into workflows, monitoring app status, or automating app management tasks.

Example use cases:

• Fetching app details to display in a dashboard.
• Automating backup or audit processes by retrieving app configurations.
• Integrating Budibase app data with other systems via n8n workflows.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the retrieved Budibase application details. This typically includes all relevant metadata and configuration fields of the specified app as returned by the Budibase API. There is no binary output for this operation.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Budibase DB Public API.
• The base URL for API requests is configured dynamically from the provided credentials (the domain of the Budibase instance).
• No additional external dependencies are indicated.

Troubleshooting

• Missing or invalid App ID: Ensure that the "App ID" property is correctly set; otherwise, the API call will fail or return no data.
• Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions to access the Budibase API.
• Network or domain issues: Confirm that the domain URL in credentials is correct and accessible from the n8n environment.
• API response errors: If the Budibase API returns errors, check the error message for details such as rate limits, permission issues, or malformed requests.
