Get Object Fields
AI-generatedOverview
This node interacts with the Fireberry API to retrieve metadata about the fields of a specified object type. It is useful for scenarios where you need to dynamically understand the structure of data objects within Fireberry, such as when building integrations, automations, or data processing workflows that depend on object schema information. For example, you might use this node to fetch the fields of a customer object to dynamically generate forms or validate data before processing.
Use Case Examples
- Retrieve all fields of a 'Customer' object to dynamically generate a user interface form.
- Fetch metadata about a 'Product' object to validate incoming data before updating records in Fireberry.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Object Type Name or ID | The specific object type in Fireberry for which the fields are to be retrieved. This can be selected from a dropdown list or specified using an expression. |
| Options | Additional options for the operation, including batching settings to control the number of items processed per batch and the interval between batches to respect Fireberry API rate limits. |
Output
JSON
json- The main output containing the retrieved object fields metadata from Fireberry.
Dependencies
- Fireberry API key credential for authentication
Troubleshooting
- Ensure the 'Object Type Name or ID' is correctly specified and exists in Fireberry to avoid errors.
- If the node fails due to rate limits, adjust the batching options to reduce the number of API calls per minute.
- Common error messages include unsupported operations or invalid object types; verify the operation is set to 'getObjectFields' and the object type is valid.
