Overview

This node interacts with the AvantGuard DNSFilter API to retrieve details about a specific IP address by its ID. It is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch detailed information about an IP address for security analysis, network monitoring, or filtering purposes. For example, a user might want to check the status or attributes of an IP address that has been flagged in their network logs.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing detailed information about the specified IP address as returned by the AvantGuard DNSFilter API. The exact structure depends on the API response but typically includes fields such as IP address details, status, and any associated metadata. The node does not output binary data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the AvantGuard DNSFilter service.
  • The node makes HTTP requests to https://api.dnsfilter.com.
  • Proper configuration of the API authentication credential within n8n is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing API key credential will cause authentication failures.
    • Providing an invalid or non-existent IP address ID may result in errors or empty responses.
    • Network connectivity issues can prevent successful API calls.
  • Error messages:

    • Authentication errors typically indicate problems with the API key; verify the credential setup.
    • "Not Found" or similar errors suggest the provided IP address ID does not exist.
    • Timeout or connection errors imply network or service availability problems.

Resolving these usually involves checking the API key validity, confirming the IP address ID, and ensuring network access to the API endpoint.
