Overview

This node operation deletes (destroys) a specific Block Page identified by its ID. It is useful in scenarios where you need to programmatically remove block pages from your DNS filtering or security setup, for example, when a block page is no longer needed or must be replaced.

Practical examples include:

  • Automating cleanup of outdated or temporary block pages.
  • Managing block pages dynamically based on changing security policies.
  • Integrating with workflows that adjust DNS filtering rules and associated block pages.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id The unique identifier of the Block Page to delete. Must be provided as a number.

Output

The output JSON typically contains the response from the API confirming the deletion of the specified Block Page. This may include status information or confirmation messages. No binary data output is expected.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication with the external DNS filtering service.
  • The node communicates with the DNS filtering service's REST API at https://api.dnsfilter.com.
  • Proper configuration of the API credentials within n8n is necessary for successful execution.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Providing an invalid or non-existent Block Page ID will result in an error.
    • Missing or incorrect API authentication credentials will cause authorization failures.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent communication with the external API.
  • Error messages and resolutions:

    • "Block Page not found": Verify the Block Page ID is correct and exists.
    • "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed": Check that the API key credential is correctly configured and valid.
    • Timeout or network errors: Ensure stable internet connection and that the API endpoint is reachable.
