AvantGuard - ConnectSecureInstall

Overview

This node operation retrieves a list of standard reports from an external service. It is useful when you want to fetch report metadata or summaries, either globally or scoped to a specific user context. Typical use cases include automating report retrieval for dashboards, integrating report data into workflows, or periodically syncing report lists for further processing.

Properties

Output

The output JSON contains the list of standard reports retrieved from the API. Each item in the list typically includes report metadata such as report ID, name, description, creation date, and other relevant attributes defined by the external service's API schema.

If binary data is returned (not indicated here), it would represent downloadable report content, but this operation focuses on listing report metadata only.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating requests to the external reporting service.
• The base URL for the API must be configured in the node credentials.
• The node uses HTTP headers and query parameters to communicate with the API endpoint.

Troubleshooting

• Missing or invalid X USER ID: Ensure the "X USER ID" property is set correctly; otherwise, the API may reject the request.
• Permission errors: If "Is Global" is set incorrectly, the user might not have access to requested reports.
• Pagination issues: Incorrect values for skip or limit could result in empty responses or incomplete data.
• API connectivity: Verify that the API base URL and authentication credentials are correct and active.
• Error messages from API: Typically include HTTP status codes and error details; check API documentation for resolution steps.
