Overview

This node interacts with the AvantGuard CIPP API to retrieve execution maintenance scripts from a list resource. It is designed to query specific scripts based on provided parameters, making it useful for automation workflows that need to fetch and process maintenance script data dynamically.

Common scenarios include:

  • Automating retrieval of maintenance scripts for inspection or execution.
  • Integrating maintenance script data into larger operational workflows.
  • Fetching specific scripts by identifiers or links for further processing or reporting.

Example: A user can input a "makelink" and "scriptfile" to retrieve the corresponding maintenance script details from the API, which can then be used downstream in the workflow.

Properties

Name Meaning
Makelink A required string parameter used as a query value to specify the link or identifier related to the maintenance script to retrieve.
Scriptfile A required string parameter used as a query value to specify the exact script file name or identifier to retrieve.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the retrieved maintenance script(s) from the API. The structure of the JSON output corresponds to the response schema defined by the AvantGuard CIPP API for the requested scripts.

If the API returns binary data (e.g., script files), the node would handle it accordingly, but based on the static code and properties, the primary output is JSON-formatted script information.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the AvantGuard CIPP API.
  • Needs the base URL of the AvantGuard CIPP API configured in the node credentials.
  • Depends on the @avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-node package for building request properties and handling API communication.
  • The node uses OpenAPI specifications (openapi.json) bundled within the source to define its operations and properties.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid API credentials: Ensure the API key and base URL are correctly set in the node credentials; otherwise, authentication will fail.
  • Incorrect property values: Both "Makelink" and "Scriptfile" are required; missing or incorrect values may result in empty responses or errors.
  • API connectivity issues: Network problems or incorrect API endpoint URLs can cause request failures.
  • Unexpected API responses: If the API changes or returns unexpected data, the node might not parse the output correctly.

To resolve common errors:

  • Verify all required input properties are provided and valid.
  • Check API credentials and endpoint configuration.
  • Review API documentation for any changes in parameters or response formats.
