Overview
This node integrates with the JetNet aviation data service to retrieve detailed information about aircraft, companies, contacts, and market intelligence. Specifically, for the Aircraft - Get Exterior operation, it fetches exterior paint and detail information of a specified aircraft by its ID.
Use cases include:
- Aviation industry analytics where detailed aircraft exterior data is needed.
- Maintenance or refurbishment planning requiring knowledge of an aircraft’s exterior features.
- Market research or asset management involving aircraft appearance and condition details.
Example: Given an aircraft ID, the node retrieves the exterior paint scheme, markings, and other visual details from the JetNet database.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Tool Description | Choose how to set the tool description: • Set Automatically — The description is auto-generated based on resource and operation. • Set Manually — You provide a custom description explaining what the tool does. |
| Description | (Shown only if "Set Manually" is selected) A text field to describe the tool’s purpose in detail, helping AI agents understand the context better. Default: "Access JetNet aviation industry data including aircraft specifications, company information, contact details, and market intelligence". |
Output
The node outputs a JSON string containing:
success: Boolean indicating if the API call was successful.resource: The resource type used ("aircraft").operation: The operation performed ("getExterior").data: The actual response data from JetNet API containing the aircraft exterior details.timestamp: ISO timestamp of when the response was generated.
If the operation fails, the output JSON includes:
success: falseerror: Error message describing the failure.resource,operation, andtimestampas above.
No binary data output is indicated for this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active JetNet API credential with a valid security token and bearer token.
- The node makes HTTP requests to the JetNet API endpoint at
https://customer.jetnetconnect.com. - Proper configuration of the API credentials within n8n is necessary for authentication.
Troubleshooting
- Missing Aircraft ID: The operation requires an aircraft ID (
aircraftIdorid). If not provided, the node throws an error: "Aircraft ID is required for this operation". - Invalid Credentials: Authentication failures will result in errors from the JetNet API. Ensure the API key and tokens are correctly configured.
- Unknown Operation or Resource: If the resource or operation name is incorrect or unsupported, the node throws an error indicating the unknown resource or operation.
- Malformed Input: Input parameters should be valid JSON or a parsable string. For registration-based operations, the node attempts to extract registration numbers from strings; otherwise, it may fail.
To resolve errors:
- Verify all required input parameters are provided.
- Check API credentials and permissions.
- Confirm the resource and operation names match supported values.
- Review the error message returned in the output JSON for specific issues.
