Overview

This node interacts with the AvantGuard CIPP API to retrieve information related to a specific extension within a list resource. Specifically, the "Retrieve Exec Extension Test" operation fetches data about an extension identified by its name. This node is useful in scenarios where users need to programmatically query details about extensions managed by the AvantGuard system, such as verifying extension configurations or retrieving metadata for further processing.

Practical examples include:

  • Automating checks on extension statuses before deployment.
  • Integrating extension data retrieval into larger workflows for monitoring or reporting.
  • Fetching extension details dynamically based on user input or other workflow data.

Properties

Name Meaning
Extensionname The name of the extension to retrieve. This is a required string parameter sent as a query parameter named extensionname.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the AvantGuard CIPP API for the requested extension. The structure of this JSON depends on the API's response schema but generally includes details about the specified extension.

If the API returns binary data (not indicated in the provided code), it would be accessible via the node's binary output; however, based on the static analysis, the output is JSON only.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the AvantGuard CIPP API.
  • The base URL for the API is configured via credentials and used as the request base URL.
  • Depends on the @avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-node package and an OpenAPI specification (openapi.json) bundled with the node for building properties and handling requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid API credentials: Ensure that the API key credential is correctly set up and has the necessary permissions to access the AvantGuard CIPP API.
  • Invalid or missing Extensionname: Since this property is required, omitting it or providing an incorrect extension name will likely result in an error or empty response.
  • Network or API errors: Check connectivity to the API endpoint and verify that the base URL in credentials is correct.
  • Unexpected API responses: If the API changes or returns unexpected data, the node might fail or produce incomplete output. Verify the API version compatibility.
