Overview
This node interacts with the Huntress API to retrieve a specific Billing Report by its ID. It is useful in scenarios where users need to fetch detailed billing information for auditing, financial reconciliation, or reporting purposes within automated workflows. For example, a user might automate monthly billing report retrieval to integrate with accounting software or trigger notifications based on billing data.

| Billing Report ID | The unique numeric identifier of the billing report to retrieve |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the details of the requested Billing Report. This typically includes fields such as billing period, charges, usage metrics, and other relevant billing information as provided by the Huntress API. There is no binary output associated with this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Huntress API.
- The node makes HTTP requests to
https://api.huntress.io/v1/billing_reports/{billingReportId}. - Proper configuration of the API authentication credential in n8n is necessary.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing Billing Report ID will cause the request to fail.
- Authentication errors if the API key credential is incorrect or expired.
- Network connectivity problems preventing access to the Huntress API endpoint.
Error messages:
- Errors returned from the API will include HTTP status codes and messages (e.g., 404 Not Found if the Billing Report ID does not exist).
- Authentication failures typically return 401 Unauthorized; ensure the API key is valid and has required permissions.
Resolution tips:
- Verify the Billing Report ID is correct and exists in the Huntress system.
- Check that the API key credential is properly configured and active.
- Confirm network connectivity and firewall settings allow outbound HTTPS requests to the API endpoint.
