Overview

This node operation retrieves a previously converted JSON file from the IFC to JSON conversion service. It is useful when you want to access and use the JSON output of an IFC file conversion without reprocessing the IFC file again. For example, you might use this operation to fetch building model data in JSON format for further analysis or integration into other workflows.

Use Case Examples

  1. Retrieve a JSON file representing a building model that was previously converted from an IFC file to use in a data visualization workflow.
  2. Fetch a JSON file to validate or inspect the converted data before passing it to another system.

Properties

Name Meaning
Filename Name or ID Select the JSON file to retrieve. You can choose from a list of available JSON files or specify an ID using an expression.

Output

JSON

  • * - The JSON content of the retrieved file, representing the converted IFC data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential to authenticate requests to the IFC to JSON conversion service.

Troubleshooting

  • If the specified JSON file ID or name does not exist, the node will throw an error indicating the file could not be found. Verify the file selection or ID expression.
  • Network or authentication errors may occur if the API key credential is missing or invalid. Ensure the credential is correctly configured.
  • If the service is temporarily unavailable, the node may fail to retrieve the JSON file. Retry after some time or check service status.
