Automate your workflows with the awork API

Actions27

Overview

This node integrates with the awork API to automate workflows related to project management. Specifically, the "Get Project by ID" operation retrieves detailed information about a single project using its unique identifier. This is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch up-to-date project data for reporting, synchronization with other tools, or conditional logic within an automation workflow.

For example, you might use this node to:

  • Pull project details before updating tasks associated with that project.
  • Retrieve project metadata to display in a dashboard.
  • Validate project existence before creating related resources.

Properties

Name Meaning
Project ID The unique identifier of the project to retrieve. This must be provided as a string.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the full details of the requested project. This typically includes fields such as project name, description, status, start and end dates, and other metadata defined by the awork API's project resource schema.

If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would represent attachments or files related to the project, but based on the provided code and context, the output is purely JSON.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the awork API.
  • The base URL for API requests is https://api.awork.com.
  • The node sets headers to accept and send JSON content and identifies itself via a custom header "x-originating-app": "n8n".

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid Project ID: Ensure the "Project ID" property is set and correctly formatted. An empty or incorrect ID will cause the API call to fail.
  • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions to access project data.
  • Network issues: Check connectivity to https://api.awork.com and ensure no firewall or proxy blocks the request.
  • API rate limits: If many requests are made in a short time, the API may throttle calls. Implement retry logic or reduce request frequency.
  • Unexpected response structure: Confirm that the API version matches expectations; changes in the awork API could alter the returned project data format.
