Overview

This node integrates with the AvantGuard NinjaOne API, specifically targeting the "Management" resource to request scripting options for a device. It allows users to retrieve available scripting configurations or options related to a particular device identified by its ID. This is useful in IT management scenarios where automated scripts need to be fetched or managed for devices remotely.

Practical examples include:

  • Fetching available script templates or options before deploying automation tasks on a device.
  • Retrieving language-specific scripting options by specifying an optional language parameter.
  • Integrating with broader IT automation workflows that require dynamic retrieval of scripting capabilities per device.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id Device identifier (number). The unique ID of the device for which scripting options are requested.
Additional Query Parameters Optional additional query parameters to customize the request. Currently supports:
- Lang: Language code to specify the language of the scripting options.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the scripting options retrieved from the NinjaOne API for the specified device. The exact structure depends on the API response but typically includes details about available scripts, their parameters, and possibly localized information if a language parameter is provided.

If the API returns binary data (not indicated here), it would represent downloadable script files or similar content, but this node primarily handles JSON responses.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for AvantGuard NinjaOne to authenticate requests.
  • Depends on the base URL configured in the credentials to connect to the correct NinjaOne API endpoint.
  • Uses the @avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-node package and an OpenAPI specification (openapi.json) bundled within the node for request building and validation.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Device ID: If the provided device ID does not exist or is incorrect, the API may return an error or empty results. Verify the device ID before running the node.
  • Authentication Errors: Ensure the API key credential is correctly set up and has sufficient permissions.
  • Language Parameter Issues: Providing an unsupported language code might result in default or no localization. Use valid language codes as per the API documentation.
  • Network or Base URL Misconfiguration: Confirm that the base URL in credentials points to the correct NinjaOne API endpoint.

Common error messages will generally come from the API and indicate issues like unauthorized access, invalid parameters, or resource not found. Checking the node's execution logs and API response messages can help diagnose these problems.
