Consume Connect Secure API

Actions222

Overview

This node interacts with the Connect Secure API to retrieve settings related to Personally Identifiable Information (PII) scans. Specifically, the "Retrieve Pii Scan Setting" operation fetches configuration details for a given PII scan setting by its unique identifier. This is useful in scenarios where users need to programmatically access or audit PII scan configurations within their Connect Secure environment, such as verifying scan parameters or integrating scan settings into automated workflows.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically retrieving and displaying PII scan settings in a dashboard.
  • Using the retrieved settings to trigger conditional logic in data processing pipelines.
  • Auditing or backing up PII scan configurations as part of compliance workflows.

Properties

Name Meaning
X USER ID The user identifier required for authentication or context when making the API request.
Id The numeric identifier of the specific PII scan setting to retrieve.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the details of the requested PII scan setting. This typically includes all configuration fields associated with that scan setting as returned by the Connect Secure API. The exact structure depends on the API response but generally contains metadata and parameters defining the PII scan.

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Connect Secure API.
  • The node depends on the Connect Secure API being accessible and properly configured.
  • The bundled code uses the @devlikeapro/n8n-openapi-node package and lodash for internal operations.
  • The node expects the user to provide the "X USER ID" header value and the scan setting "Id" as inputs.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid "X USER ID": The API may reject requests without a valid user ID header. Ensure this property is correctly set.
  • Invalid or non-existent "Id": Providing an incorrect scan setting ID will likely result in an error or empty response. Verify the ID before use.
  • Authentication errors: If the API key credential is missing or invalid, the node will fail to authenticate.
  • Network issues: Connectivity problems to the Connect Secure API endpoint can cause timeouts or failures.
  • API changes: Updates to the Connect Secure API might affect the response format or available operations; keep the node and credentials updated accordingly.
