Overview

This node interacts with the "List" resource to retrieve version information using the "Retrieve Get Version" operation. It is designed to query a remote API endpoint, sending a local version string as a query parameter and receiving version-related data in response. This node is useful for scenarios where you need to check or synchronize version states between your local environment and an external system, such as verifying software versions, configuration versions, or data schema versions.

Practical examples include:

  • Checking if the local version of a list matches the latest version available remotely.
  • Triggering workflows based on version mismatches or updates.
  • Auditing or logging version information for compliance or debugging purposes.

Properties

Name Meaning
Localversion The local version string to send as a query parameter named localversion to the API.

Output

The node outputs JSON data received from the API call that corresponds to the version information related to the provided local version. The exact structure depends on the API response but typically includes fields describing the current version status, differences, or metadata about the version.

If the API returns binary data (not indicated here), it would be accessible via the node's binary output, representing raw files or other non-JSON content.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication to the external service.
  • Needs the base URL of the API configured in the credentials.
  • Depends on the external API endpoint /api which accepts a localversion query parameter and returns version information.
  • Uses the @avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-node package and an OpenAPI specification (openapi.json) to build properties and handle requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:
    • Incorrect or missing API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Providing an invalid or empty localversion may result in errors or unexpected responses.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent reaching the API endpoint.
  • Error messages:
    • Authentication errors usually indicate invalid or expired API keys; verify and update credentials.
    • Validation errors might occur if localversion is not provided or malformed; ensure it is a valid string.
    • Timeout or connection errors suggest network issues; check connectivity and API availability.
