Overview

This node allows users to create IP address entries by sending detailed IP address data to an external API. It is useful in scenarios where automated management or registration of IP addresses is required, such as network administration, security monitoring, or asset tracking. For example, a user can automate adding new IP addresses to a firewall whitelist or a monitoring system by providing the necessary IP details in JSON format.

Properties

Name Meaning
Ip Address The parameters for creating an IP address entry, provided as a JSON object with all required fields for the creation request.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the IP address creation API. This typically includes details about the newly created IP address record, such as its ID, status, and any metadata returned by the service. There is no indication that binary data is output by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating requests to the external IP address management service.
  • The base URL for the API is set to https://api.dnsfilter.com.
  • The node uses the @avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-node package to build properties and handle API interactions.
  • Proper configuration of the API authentication credentials within n8n is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid JSON Input: Since the IP address parameters must be provided as a JSON string, malformed JSON will cause errors. Ensure the JSON is valid before running the node.
  • Authentication Errors: If the API key or credentials are missing or incorrect, the node will fail to authenticate. Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured.
  • API Response Errors: If the IP address creation fails due to invalid parameters or server issues, the node will return error messages from the API. Check the input parameters and API status.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems to https://api.dnsfilter.com will prevent the node from working. Confirm network access and proxy settings if applicable.
