Table → List Tables
AI-generatedOverview
This node interacts with the Tulip API to list tables within a Tulip environment. It is useful for users who want to retrieve an overview of all tables available in their Tulip workspace, including optionally those that have been deleted. Typical use cases include synchronizing table metadata, auditing table availability, or integrating Tulip data structures into other workflows.
For example, a user might employ this node to fetch all active tables to display them in a dashboard or to trigger further processing based on table contents.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Include Deleted Tables | Whether to include tables that have been deleted in the response (true or false). |
Output
The node outputs a JSON array containing information about each table retrieved from the Tulip API. Each item in the array represents a table object with its associated metadata as provided by the API.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Tulip API.
- The node depends on the Tulip API being accessible and the provided credentials having sufficient permissions to list tables.
- No additional environment variables are required beyond the API authentication setup.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Authentication failures due to invalid or expired API keys.
- Network connectivity problems preventing access to the Tulip API.
- Insufficient permissions on the API key to list tables.
Error messages:
- Unauthorized or 401 errors: Check that the API key credential is correctly configured and has the necessary permissions.
- Timeout or network errors: Verify network connectivity and that the Tulip API endpoint is reachable.
- Empty results when expecting tables: Confirm whether "Include Deleted Tables" is set appropriately and that tables actually exist in the Tulip environment.
