Overview

This node interacts with the AvantGuard CIPP API to retrieve backup information related to execution runs from a list resource. Specifically, the "Retrieve Exec Run Backup" operation fetches backup data for a selected item within a list. This can be useful in scenarios where users need to access historical or backup data of execution runs for auditing, recovery, or analysis purposes.

Practical examples include:

  • Retrieving backup details of a specific execution run to verify its status or contents.
  • Accessing backup data before performing destructive operations to ensure data safety.
  • Automating backup retrieval as part of a larger workflow for compliance or reporting.

Properties

Name Meaning
Selected The identifier or key of the specific list item whose execution run backup is to be retrieved.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the backup information of the specified execution run. The structure of the json output field corresponds to the response from the AvantGuard CIPP API's endpoint for retrieving execution run backups. It typically includes metadata and backup content relevant to the selected item.

If the API supports binary data (e.g., backup files), the node would handle it accordingly, but based on the provided code and properties, the primary output is JSON-formatted backup details.

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 interactions.
  • The node uses OpenAPI specifications defined in openapi.json to construct requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Invalid or missing API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Providing an incorrect or non-existent "Selected" value may result in errors or empty responses.
    • Network connectivity issues to the API endpoint can cause timeouts or connection errors.
  • Error Messages:

    • Authentication errors typically indicate invalid API keys or misconfigured credentials; verify and update them.
    • "Not Found" or similar errors suggest the selected item does not exist; confirm the "Selected" property value.
    • Timeout or network errors require checking internet connectivity and API availability.
