Overview
This node interacts with the NinjaOne API to retrieve information about software patch installations on a specific device. It is useful in IT management scenarios where administrators need to audit or verify which software patches have been installed on devices managed through NinjaOne. For example, an IT technician can use this node to fetch all installed software patches on a device to ensure compliance with security policies or to troubleshoot issues related to missing updates.
Properties

| Device ID | ID of the device to query for installed software patches |
Output
The node outputs JSON data containing details about the software patch installs on the specified device. The exact structure depends on the NinjaOne API response but typically includes fields such as patch identifiers, installation dates, status, and related metadata.
If the node supports binary data output (not explicitly shown here), it would represent files or attachments related to the software patches, but this is not indicated in the provided code.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the NinjaOne API.
- The base URL for the API defaults to
https://api.ninjaone.combut can be overridden by credentials configuration. - No other external dependencies are indicated.
Troubleshooting
- Missing or invalid Device ID: Since the Device ID is required, omitting it or providing an incorrect value will likely cause the API call to fail. Ensure the Device ID is correct and provided.
- Authentication errors: If the API key or OAuth2 token is missing or expired, the node will fail to authenticate. Verify that valid credentials are configured.
- API rate limits or connectivity issues: Network problems or hitting API rate limits may cause errors. Check network connectivity and NinjaOne API usage quotas.
- Unexpected API responses: Changes in the NinjaOne API could affect the output format. Review API documentation if the output structure changes unexpectedly.
