Overview

This node interacts with the AvantGuard CIPP API to retrieve specific templates related to lists. In particular, the "Retrieve List Ca Templates" operation fetches template data associated with a given list identified by its unique ID. This is useful in scenarios where users need to programmatically access predefined templates for lists, such as for automation workflows involving document generation, compliance checks, or report creation based on these templates.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically fetching and processing certificate authority (CA) templates linked to a list for security audits.
  • Integrating template retrieval into a larger workflow that manages list-based configurations or assets.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id The unique identifier of the list whose CA templates you want to retrieve. This is a required string input.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the CA templates associated with the specified list ID. The structure typically includes details about each template, such as template names, IDs, descriptions, and other relevant metadata provided by the AvantGuard CIPP API.

If the API supports binary data (not evident from the code), it would be included accordingly, but here the output is primarily JSON-formatted template information.

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 for building properties and handling OpenAPI specifications.
  • The node uses an OpenAPI specification (openapi.json) bundled within the source to define its operations and properties.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid Id property: Since the Id is required, omitting it or providing an incorrect value will likely cause the API call to fail or return no data. Ensure the Id corresponds to an existing list.
  • Authentication errors: If the API key credential is missing, expired, or invalid, the node will fail to authenticate with the AvantGuard API. Verify the API key and credential configuration.
  • Network or API endpoint issues: Problems connecting to the API base URL or service downtime can cause errors. Check network connectivity and the status of the AvantGuard API service.
  • Unexpected response format: If the API changes or returns unexpected data, the node might not parse the output correctly. Review API documentation and update the node if necessary.
