Overview

This node interacts with the AvantGuard CIPP API to retrieve parameters for a specific list function. It is designed to fetch metadata or configuration details about functions related to lists within the AvantGuard system. This can be useful when you need to dynamically understand what inputs a particular list function requires before executing it, enabling more flexible and dynamic workflows.

Practical examples:

  • Automatically fetching required parameters for a list processing function to build dynamic forms.
  • Validating user input against the expected parameters of a list function.
  • Integrating with AvantGuard's list management features by first retrieving function details.

Properties

Name Meaning
Function The name of the list function for which to retrieve parameters.
Module The module within AvantGuard where the list function resides.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the parameters required by the specified list function. This typically includes details such as parameter names, types, default values, and descriptions, allowing downstream nodes or UI elements to adapt accordingly.

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

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

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Incorrect or missing API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Providing invalid or misspelled function or module names may result in empty or error responses.
    • Network connectivity problems to the AvantGuard API endpoint.
  • Error messages:

    • Authentication errors indicating invalid or missing API keys: verify credentials setup.
    • 404 or "function not found" errors: check that the function and module names are correct.
    • Timeout or connection errors: ensure network access to the API URL is available.
