Overview

This node interacts with the "Connect Secure" API to retrieve data related to browser extensions associated with a user. Specifically, the "Retrieve Browser Extensions" operation under the "Asset Data" resource fetches browser extension information based on user ID and optional query parameters such as filtering conditions, pagination, and sorting.

Typical use cases include:

  • Fetching a list of browser extensions installed or managed for a specific user.
  • Querying browser extension data with filters (e.g., by extension type or status).
  • Paginating through large sets of browser extension records.
  • Sorting the results based on specified fields.

For example, a security analyst might use this node to pull all browser extensions installed by a particular user to audit for unauthorized or risky extensions.

Properties

Name Meaning
X USER ID The unique identifier of the user whose browser extensions are being retrieved.
Condition A query string to filter the browser extensions based on specific criteria.
Skip Number of records to skip in the result set, useful for pagination.
Limit Maximum number of records to return, controlling the size of the response.
Order By Field(s) by which to sort the returned browser extension records.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the retrieved browser extensions. Each item in the output corresponds to a browser extension record matching the query parameters.

The structure typically includes details about each browser extension such as its name, version, installation date, and other metadata as provided by the Connect Secure API.

No binary data output is indicated for this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Connect Secure API.
  • An API authentication token or key credential must be configured in n8n to authorize requests.
  • The node depends on the external Connect Secure service endpoint defined in the bundled OpenAPI specification.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid X USER ID: The node requires a valid user ID header; ensure this is correctly set.
  • Invalid query condition syntax: If the condition string is malformed, the API may reject the request. Validate the query format.
  • Pagination issues: Setting skip or limit incorrectly may result in empty or incomplete data sets.
  • Authentication errors: Verify that the API credentials are correct and have sufficient permissions.
  • Network or API downtime: Check connectivity and the status of the Connect Secure API service if requests fail.

Common error messages will likely relate to HTTP status codes such as 400 (bad request), 401 (unauthorized), or 500 (server error). Reviewing the API response message can help pinpoint the issue.
