Overview
This node integrates with the Hudu REST API to manage various resources within the Hudu platform. Specifically, for the Asset Password resource with the Get operation, it retrieves detailed information about a specific asset password by its ID.
Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:
- Automating retrieval of sensitive asset passwords stored in Hudu for use in IT workflows.
- Integrating asset password data into other systems or dashboards.
- Auditing or reporting on asset passwords programmatically.
For example, you might use this node to fetch the password details of a particular asset before performing automated configuration or deployment tasks that require authentication credentials.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Asset Password ID | The unique numeric ID of the asset password to retrieve. This identifies which password record to fetch from Hudu. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the requested asset password's details. The structure typically includes fields such as the password itself, associated metadata, and any related asset information as provided by the Hudu API.
If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would represent attachments or files related to the asset password, but this operation primarily returns JSON data.
Each output item corresponds to one input item, paired accordingly.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Hudu REST API.
- Needs an API key credential configured in n8n to authenticate requests.
- The base URL for the Hudu instance must be set in the node credentials.
- No additional external dependencies are required beyond the configured API access.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues:
- Invalid or missing Asset Password ID will cause the API call to fail.
- Incorrect or expired API key credentials will result in authentication errors.
- Network connectivity issues to the Hudu API endpoint can cause timeouts or failures.
Error Messages:
"The resource "asset_passwords" is not known!"— indicates a misconfiguration or unsupported resource name.- API errors returned from Hudu (e.g., 404 Not Found if the password ID does not exist).
Resolutions:
- Verify the Asset Password ID is correct and exists in Hudu.
- Ensure API credentials are valid and have sufficient permissions.
- Check network connectivity and base URL correctness.
