Overview

This node interacts with the AvantGuard CIPP API to retrieve a list of items using Basic Authentication. It is designed to query the API endpoint that returns filtered lists based on a tenant filter parameter. This node is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch specific subsets of data from the AvantGuard service, such as retrieving tenant-specific configurations or records.

Practical examples include:

  • Fetching a list of tenants or resources filtered by a tenant identifier.
  • Integrating tenant-specific data retrieval into an automation workflow for further processing or reporting.

Properties

Name Meaning
Tenantfilter A required string used as a query parameter to filter the list by tenant.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the list retrieved from the AvantGuard API filtered by the provided tenant filter. The structure of the JSON output corresponds to the API response and typically includes the relevant list items matching the filter criteria.

If the API supports binary data in responses (not evident from the code), it would be handled accordingly, but this node primarily deals with JSON data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the AvantGuard CIPP API.
  • Needs the base URL of the AvantGuard resource API configured in the credentials.
  • Depends on the @avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-node package for building properties and handling OpenAPI specifications.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Missing or incorrect tenant filter value will result in no data or errors from the API.
    • Invalid or missing API authentication token will cause authentication failures.
    • Incorrect base URL configuration in credentials can lead to connection errors.
  • Error messages:

    • Authentication errors typically indicate invalid or missing API credentials; verify and update the API key.
    • HTTP 400 or 404 errors may indicate incorrect tenant filter values or endpoint issues; check the filter input.
    • Network or timeout errors suggest connectivity problems; ensure the API endpoint is reachable.
