Overview

This node operation, "Applications Index," retrieves a list of applications from an external service. It is useful for scenarios where you need to fetch and process multiple application records, such as displaying them in a dashboard, filtering applications based on categories, or integrating application data into workflows.

For example, you might use this node to:

  • List all available applications in your system.
  • Filter applications by specific category IDs.
  • Paginate through large sets of application data.

Properties

Name Meaning
Additional Query Parameters Optional parameters to customize the query:
- Category Ids: Filter applications by one or more category IDs (defaults to all).
- Page: Specify pagination details such as page number and size.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the list of applications retrieved from the external API. The structure typically includes application details such as IDs, names, categories, and other metadata depending on the API response.

If the API supports binary data output, it would be summarized here; however, based on the provided code and properties, the output is JSON only.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication with the external service.
  • The base URL for API requests is set to https://api.dnsfilter.com (as seen in the bundled source), indicating the node interacts with the AvantGuard DNSFilter API or a similar service.
  • Proper configuration of the API key credential within n8n is necessary for successful execution.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Missing or invalid API key credential will cause authentication failures.
    • Incorrectly formatted additional query parameters (e.g., malformed JSON) may result in request errors.
    • Pagination parameters that exceed available pages may return empty results.
  • Error Messages:

    • Authentication errors typically indicate issues with the API key setup.
    • Validation errors may occur if query parameters do not conform to expected formats.
  • Resolutions:

    • Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and has necessary permissions.
    • Ensure additional query parameters are valid JSON and match expected schema.
    • Adjust pagination parameters to valid ranges.
