Overview

This node interacts with the AvantGuard ConnectSecure API to retrieve detailed information about a specific Asset by its ID. It is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch asset data programmatically within an n8n workflow, such as inventory management, asset tracking, or integrating asset details into other systems.

For example, you might use this node to:

  • Retrieve an asset's metadata before performing updates or audits.
  • Fetch asset details to display in a dashboard.
  • Integrate asset information into reporting workflows.

Properties

Name Meaning
X USER ID The user identifier required for authentication or authorization in the API request.
Id The unique numeric identifier of the Asset to retrieve from the system.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the retrieved Asset. This JSON typically includes all relevant fields describing the Asset, such as its properties, status, and metadata as returned by the AvantGuard ConnectSecure API.

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for AvantGuard ConnectSecure to authenticate requests.
  • Needs the base URL of the AvantGuard ConnectSecure API configured in the credentials.
  • Depends on the @avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-node package for building and executing API requests based on the OpenAPI specification.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid X USER ID: Ensure that the "X USER ID" property is provided and correct; otherwise, the API may reject the request.
  • Invalid Asset ID: Providing an incorrect or non-existent Asset ID will likely result in an error or empty response.
  • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions.
  • Network issues: Check connectivity to the configured base URL.
  • API changes: If the AvantGuard API changes, the node’s OpenAPI spec and implementation may require updates.
