Overview

This node updates an existing User Agent entry by its unique identifier (UUID). It is useful in scenarios where you need to modify or correct details of a user agent record stored in an external system, such as updating tags or other metadata associated with the user agent. For example, you might use this node to update the classification or attributes of a user agent after detecting new behavior patterns or security concerns.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id The unique identifier (UUID) of the user agent to update.
User Agent JSON object containing the parameters for updating the user agent, such as tags or other fields.

The "User Agent" property expects a JSON structure representing the update request parameters. This allows flexible modification of various user agent attributes.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the updated user agent object as returned from the external API. This typically includes the updated fields and any metadata confirming the successful update.

If the node supports binary data output, it would represent related binary content, but based on the provided code and properties, the output is purely JSON.

Dependencies

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

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid UUID: If the provided Id is not a valid UUID or does not exist, the API may return an error indicating the user agent was not found. Verify the Id before running the node.
  • Malformed JSON in User Agent: The "User Agent" property expects valid JSON. Errors parsing this JSON will cause the node to fail. Ensure the JSON syntax is correct.
  • Authentication errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will result in authorization failures. Confirm that the API key credential is correctly set up.
  • API rate limits or downtime: External API issues can cause timeouts or errors. Check the service status if persistent errors occur.
