Consume Connect Secure API

Actions222

Overview

This node interacts with the Connect Secure API to retrieve a specific Discovery Setting by its unique identifier. It is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch detailed configuration or metadata about a particular discovery setting within the Connect Secure environment. For example, it can be used to programmatically access and review discovery settings for auditing, monitoring, or integration purposes.

Properties

Name Meaning
X USER ID User Id header value required for authentication or identification in the API request.
Id The unique numeric identifier of the Discovery Setting to retrieve.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the retrieved Discovery Setting. This JSON contains all the details returned by the Connect Secure API for the specified discovery setting ID. The structure typically includes fields describing the setting's properties, configuration, and metadata as defined by the API schema.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Connect Secure API.
  • The node depends on the Connect Secure API being accessible and the provided user ID and discovery setting ID being valid.
  • No additional environment variables are explicitly required beyond the API credential.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing "X USER ID" header may cause authentication or authorization failures.
    • Providing an incorrect or non-existent discovery setting ID will result in errors or empty responses.
    • Network connectivity problems to the Connect Secure API endpoint can cause request failures.
  • Error messages:

    • Authentication errors typically indicate missing or invalid user ID or API credentials.
    • Not found errors suggest the specified discovery setting ID does not exist.
    • Timeout or connection errors imply network or service availability issues.

To resolve these, verify that the user ID and discovery setting ID are correct, ensure the API credentials are properly configured, and check network connectivity.
