Habitica

Overview

This node integrates with the Habitica API to retrieve tasks from a user's Habitica account. Specifically, the "Get Many" operation under the "Task" resource fetches multiple tasks based on specified criteria. It is useful for users who want to automate task management workflows, such as syncing Habitica tasks with other productivity tools, generating reports, or performing bulk updates.

Practical examples include:

• Fetching all daily tasks to review progress in an external dashboard.
• Retrieving only completed todos to analyze completed work.
• Getting habits or rewards separately for customized notifications or reminders.

Properties

Name	Meaning
All Types of Tasks	Boolean option to get all types of tasks at once: daily, todo, habit, and rewards tasks.
Task Type	Selects a specific type of task to retrieve when not fetching all types. Options are: Habits, Dailys, Todos, Rewards, Completed Todos.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the list of tasks retrieved from Habitica. Each task object typically includes details such as task ID, type (habit, daily, todo, reward), text/description, completion status, and other metadata relevant to Habitica tasks.

If binary data were involved (not indicated here), it would represent attachments or media related to tasks, but this node focuses on JSON task data only.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Habitica API.
• The node uses the official Habitica API endpoint or a self-hosted API base URL if configured.
• No additional external services beyond Habitica are required.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Authentication errors due to invalid or missing API credentials.
  • Network errors if the Habitica API is unreachable or the self-hosted URL is incorrect.
  • Empty results if filters do not match any tasks (e.g., selecting a task type with no tasks).

• Error messages:

  • Unauthorized or 401 errors indicate problems with the API key; verify credentials.
  • 404 or endpoint errors suggest misconfiguration of the API base URL.
  • Timeout or network errors require checking internet connectivity or API server status.
