Overview
This node operation allows you to add a blacklist category to a specific policy within the AvantGuard DNSFilter service. It is useful for managing DNS filtering policies by dynamically updating which categories of domains are blacklisted under a given policy. For example, you might use this node to block access to certain categories like "Adult Content" or "Malware" by adding those categories to an existing policy.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Id | The unique identifier of the policy to which the blacklist category will be added. |
| Category Id | The unique identifier of the blacklist category that you want to add to the policy. |
| Additional Body Fields | Optional additional fields to include in the request body. Currently supports: |
| - Include Relationships: Boolean flag to specify whether to include related entities in the response (default is true). |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the updated policy after the blacklist category has been added. This typically includes details of the policy and its associated blacklist categories. If the "Include Relationships" option is enabled, related entities will also be included in the response. There is no binary data output.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the AvantGuard DNSFilter API.
- The node makes HTTP requests to the base URL
https://api.dnsfilter.com. - Proper configuration of the API authentication credential in n8n is necessary.
Troubleshooting
- Common issues:
- Invalid or missing Policy ID or Category ID can cause the API call to fail.
- Network connectivity problems may prevent successful communication with the DNSFilter API.
- Insufficient permissions on the API key could result in authorization errors.
- Error messages:
- Errors indicating invalid IDs usually mean the provided Policy or Category does not exist; verify the IDs.
- Authentication errors suggest issues with the API key; ensure it is correctly configured and active.
- Timeout or network errors require checking your internet connection or firewall settings.
