Overview
This node integrates with the CloudAlly API to retrieve data related to accounts, specifically focusing on reseller accounts in this context. The "Get Many" operation under the "Account" resource allows users to fetch multiple reseller account records from CloudAlly’s service. This is useful for scenarios where you need to list or process multiple reseller accounts, such as generating reports, syncing account data with other systems, or performing bulk operations.
Practical examples include:
- Fetching all reseller accounts to display in a dashboard.
- Exporting reseller account details for auditing or backup.
- Integrating reseller account data into CRM or billing systems.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resource Type | Specifies the type of resource to interact with. Here, only "Reseller" is available, which targets reseller accounts via the CloudAlly API endpoint https://api.cloudally.com/v2/resellers. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the reseller accounts retrieved from the CloudAlly API. Each item in the output corresponds to one reseller account record, containing fields as provided by the API response. The exact structure depends on the API but typically includes identifiers, names, and other relevant reseller details.
No binary data output is indicated in the source code.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authentication with CloudAlly, including an access token, client ID, and client secret.
- The node uses the CloudAlly API v2 endpoints, specifically targeting the
/resellerspath for reseller account data. - Pagination support is included via a utility function to handle multiple pages of results if applicable.
Troubleshooting
- Authentication errors: Ensure that the API credentials (access token, client ID, client secret) are correctly configured and valid.
- API endpoint issues: The base URL for resellers is fixed; any changes in the CloudAlly API might require updating the node configuration.
- Pagination handling: If large datasets are expected, verify that pagination is working correctly to avoid incomplete data retrieval.
- Network errors: Check network connectivity and firewall settings that might block access to the CloudAlly API.
Common error messages will likely relate to authentication failures, invalid requests, or rate limiting by the CloudAlly API. Resolving these involves verifying credentials, request parameters, and respecting API usage limits.
