Attribute → Acquire
AI-generatedSummary
Acquires ownership of one or more attributes from the Exist.io personal analytics platform.
Inputs
- acquireItems (required) — A collection of attributes to acquire. Each item can include a template name (to acquire an existing attribute), a custom name (for new attributes), a manual flag, and a success_objects flag. If a template is provided, the name is optional.
- authentication (required) — Authentication method: API Token or OAuth2.
Output shape
One output item per successfully acquired attribute (or a list of items if multiple attributes are acquired).
The exact shape of the output depends on the 'success_objects' parameter: if true, the item body contains the full attribute object; if false, it typically contains a success indicator. The node uses a POST request to the /attributes/acquire/ endpoint.
Examples
Example 1: Acquire a single existing attribute by its template name.
Set 'Acquire Items' to contain a single item with 'template' set to 'steps'.
Example 2: Create and acquire a new custom attribute named 'custom_mood'.
Set 'Acquire Items' to contain a single item with 'name' set to 'custom_mood' and 'template' left empty.
