Overview

This node integrates with the AvantGuard DNSFilter API to perform domain-related lookups. Specifically, the "Domains User Lookup" operation allows users to query information about a domain's user by providing the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). This can be useful in scenarios such as security monitoring, domain management, or network administration where identifying the user associated with a domain is necessary.

Practical examples include:

  • Retrieving user details linked to a suspicious domain for threat analysis.
  • Automating domain ownership verification processes.
  • Enriching domain data in security incident workflows.

Properties

Name Meaning
Additional Query Parameters Optional parameters to customize the lookup. Currently supports: Fqdn - the fully qualified domain name to lookup.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the response from the AvantGuard DNSFilter API related to the domain user lookup. The exact structure depends on the API response but typically includes user information associated with the queried domain.

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the AvantGuard DNSFilter service.
  • The node sends requests to the base URL: https://api.dnsfilter.com.
  • Proper configuration of the API key credential within n8n is necessary for successful operation.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Missing or invalid API key credential will cause authentication failures.
    • Providing an empty or malformed FQDN may result in errors or empty responses.
    • Network connectivity issues to the API endpoint can cause request timeouts.
  • Error Messages:

    • Authentication errors typically indicate problems with the API key; verify and update credentials.
    • Validation errors may occur if required parameters like FQDN are missing or incorrect; ensure correct input.
    • API rate limiting or service unavailability errors require checking service status or adjusting request frequency.
