Overview

This node interacts with the "Jobs" resource of an API to retrieve detailed views of job records. It is designed to fetch job data based on user-specific criteria and supports filtering, pagination, and sorting. This node is useful in scenarios where you need to programmatically access job listings or details for reporting, monitoring, or integration with other systems.

For example, you might use this node to:

  • Retrieve a filtered list of jobs assigned to a particular user.
  • Paginate through large sets of job records by skipping and limiting results.
  • Sort job records by specific fields such as date or status.

Properties

Name Meaning
X USER ID User Id header value to identify the user making the request.
Condition Query condition string to filter the job records returned by the API.
Skip Number of records to skip (for pagination).
Limit Maximum number of records to return (for pagination).
Order By Field(s) by which to order the returned job records.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the retrieved job details view. The structure corresponds to the API's response for job records filtered and sorted according to the input parameters. Each item in the output typically contains detailed information about a job, such as identifiers, status, timestamps, and other relevant metadata.

No binary data output is indicated by the source code.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating requests to the Connect Secure API.
  • The node depends on the external Connect Secure API service to fetch job data.
  • Proper configuration of the API credentials within n8n is necessary for successful operation.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid X USER ID: Since the user ID is required in the request header, omitting it or providing an incorrect value will likely cause authentication or authorization errors.
  • Invalid query conditions: Malformed or unsupported query strings in the "Condition" property may result in API errors or empty responses.
  • Pagination issues: Setting "Skip" or "Limit" to inappropriate values (e.g., negative numbers) could lead to unexpected results or errors.
  • API connectivity problems: Network issues or incorrect API credentials can cause failures in retrieving job data.

To resolve these issues:

  • Ensure the "X USER ID" is correctly set and valid.
  • Validate query conditions against the API documentation.
  • Use sensible numeric values for pagination properties.
  • Verify API credentials and network connectivity.

  • Refer to the Connect Secure API documentation for details on supported query conditions, response formats, and authentication requirements.
  • n8n documentation on setting up API credentials and using HTTP request nodes may provide additional context for troubleshooting.
