KobanaInstall

Overview

The node provides integration with the Kobana API, enabling users to perform various administrative and transactional operations programmatically. Specifically, for the Admin > Subaccounts resource with the Update operation, this node allows updating details of a subaccount by specifying its ID and providing the updated data in JSON format.

This is useful in scenarios where you need to automate management of subaccounts within an organization, such as changing configuration settings, updating metadata, or modifying permissions without manual intervention.

Practical example:
You have multiple subaccounts representing different departments or clients. When a department changes its billing information or contact details, you can use this node to update the subaccount automatically based on incoming data from other systems.

Properties

Output

• The output is a JSON object representing the updated subaccount resource as returned by the Kobana API.
• The structure depends on the API response but typically includes the subaccount's current state after the update.
• No binary data output is involved.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Kobana API.
• The node dynamically selects the API base URL depending on the environment (production or sandbox).
• No additional external dependencies are required beyond the Kobana API access.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Invalid or missing subaccount ID will cause the API to return an error.
  • Malformed JSON in the "Request Body" property will result in parsing errors before the request is sent.
  • Insufficient permissions or invalid API credentials may lead to authentication failures.
  • Network connectivity issues can prevent reaching the Kobana API endpoint.

• Error messages and resolutions:

  • "Invalid ID" or "Resource not found": Verify that the provided subaccount ID exists and is correct.
  • "Malformed JSON": Ensure the JSON in the Request Body is valid and properly formatted.
  • "Authentication failed": Check that the API key credential is correctly configured and has necessary permissions.
  • "API rate limit exceeded": Implement retry logic or reduce request frequency.
