Overview

This node operation retrieves detailed information about a specific Managed Service Provider (MSP) associated with a distributor. It is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch and display data for a particular MSP by its unique identifier, such as viewing MSP profiles, verifying MSP details before processing, or integrating MSP data into workflows.

For example, if you manage multiple MSPs under distributors and want to automate reporting or auditing processes, this operation allows you to programmatically access each MSP's information by specifying its ID.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id The unique numeric identifier of the MSP to retrieve information for. This is a required field.

Output

The output will be a JSON object containing the details of the specified MSP. The exact structure depends on the API response but typically includes fields such as MSP name, contact information, status, and other relevant metadata.

If the node supports binary data output, it would represent any files or attachments related to the MSP, but based on the provided code and context, the output is primarily JSON data describing the MSP.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication with the external service.
  • The node uses a base URL https://api.dnsfilter.com indicating it interacts with the DNSFilter API.
  • Proper configuration of the API credentials within n8n is necessary for successful requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing MSP ID: Ensure the "Id" property is set to a valid number corresponding to an existing MSP.
    • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
    • Network or API downtime: Check connectivity and the status of the external DNSFilter API service.
  • Error messages:

    • Unauthorized or 401 errors indicate problems with API credentials.
    • 404 Not Found may mean the MSP ID does not exist.
    • Timeout or network errors suggest connectivity issues.

Resolving these usually involves checking input values, credential setup, and network conditions.
