Overview
The node interacts with the Budibase DB Public API, enabling users to perform various database-related operations within Budibase applications. Specifically, the "Search Applications" operation allows users to search for Budibase applications whose names start with a specified string. This is useful when you want to filter and find applications dynamically based on partial name matches.
Practical examples include:
- Automating workflows that need to retrieve application IDs or metadata by searching for apps with known name prefixes.
- Integrating Budibase app data into other systems by first identifying relevant apps through name-based searches.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| App Name Starts With | A string used to filter applications whose names begin with this value. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the search results from the Budibase API. The json output field contains an array or list of applications matching the search criteria, including their details such as app IDs and names.
No binary data output is indicated in the source code.
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 (likely the Budibase domain).
- No additional external dependencies are indicated.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Incorrect or missing API authentication token will cause authorization errors.
- Providing an empty or invalid "App Name Starts With" string may return no results or unexpected data.
- Network connectivity problems to the Budibase domain can cause request failures.
Error messages:
- Authorization errors typically indicate invalid or missing API credentials; ensure the API key is correctly set up.
- Validation errors may occur if the input string is malformed; verify the input format.
- Timeout or connection errors suggest network issues; check connectivity and endpoint availability.
