Connect Secure

Consume Connect Secure API

Actions222

Overview

This node interacts with the "Connect Secure" API to retrieve asset-related data, specifically BIOS information in this context. The "Retrieve Bios Info" operation fetches BIOS details from asset data records based on user-defined query parameters such as conditions, pagination, and sorting.

Typical use cases include:

  • IT asset management workflows where BIOS information is needed for inventory or compliance reporting.
  • Automated audits that require BIOS version or manufacturer details.
  • Integration scenarios where BIOS data must be fetched and processed downstream in n8n workflows.

Properties

Name Meaning
X USER ID User identifier required for authentication; passed as a header in the API request.
Condition Query condition string to filter BIOS info records (e.g., filtering by specific criteria).
Skip Number of records to skip for pagination purposes.
Limit Maximum number of records to return.
Order By Field(s) to order the results by (e.g., "date DESC", "name ASC").

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the retrieved BIOS information records matching the query parameters. Each item in the output corresponds to a BIOS info record from the asset data source.

If the API supports binary data (not indicated here), it would typically represent files or attachments related to BIOS info, but this node focuses on JSON data retrieval.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Connect Secure API.
  • The node depends on the external Connect Secure service endpoint described in the bundled OpenAPI specification.
  • Proper configuration of the API credentials within n8n is necessary for successful requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid X USER ID: The API requires a valid user ID header; ensure this property is set correctly.
  • Invalid query conditions: Malformed or unsupported query strings may cause errors or empty results.
  • Pagination issues: Setting skip or limit incorrectly might result in no data or partial data; verify these values.
  • API connectivity problems: Network issues or incorrect API credentials will prevent data retrieval.
  • Order By syntax errors: Incorrect ordering fields or formats can lead to API errors.

To resolve errors:

  • Double-check all input properties for correctness.
  • Verify API credentials and network access.
  • Consult the Connect Secure API documentation for valid query syntax.
