Overview

This node operation, "Get Client Knowledge Base Articles," is designed to retrieve knowledge base articles associated with clients from the AvantGuard NinjaOne platform. It allows users to query and filter articles based on optional parameters such as organization IDs, article names, and whether to include archived articles. This functionality is useful for automating the retrieval of documentation or support content relevant to specific client organizations, enabling integration with helpdesk systems, reporting tools, or internal knowledge management workflows.

Practical examples:

  • Automatically fetching all active knowledge base articles for a particular client organization to display in a custom portal.
  • Filtering articles by name to find specific documentation pieces programmatically.
  • Including archived articles when performing audits or historical reviews of knowledge base content.

Properties

Name Meaning
Additional Query Parameters Optional fields to refine the search query:
- Organization Ids: Filter articles by one or more organization identifiers (string).
- Article Name: Search articles by their name (string).
- Include Archived: Boolean flag to include archived articles in the results (true/false).

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the retrieved knowledge base articles. Each item in the output typically contains details about an article such as its title, content summary, associated organization, status (archived or active), and other metadata provided by the API.

If the API supports binary data (e.g., attachments or images within articles), the node would handle this accordingly, but based on the provided code and properties, the primary output is structured JSON data describing knowledge base articles.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the AvantGuard NinjaOne platform.
  • The node depends on the AvantGuard NinjaOne REST API endpoint configured via credentials, including a base URL.
  • Uses the @avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-node package for OpenAPI-based request handling.
  • Requires network access to the NinjaOne API service.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Incorrect or malformed query parameters may result in empty responses or API errors.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls.
  • Error messages and resolutions:

    • Authentication failed: Verify that the API key credential is correctly set up and has necessary permissions.
    • Invalid query parameter: Check the format and values of additional query parameters; ensure they conform to expected types.
    • No articles found: Confirm that the filters applied match existing articles; try broadening the query by removing some filters.
    • Network timeout or unreachable host: Ensure the base URL is correct and the network connection is stable.
