AjaxInstall

Overview

This node, named "Ajax," is designed to interact with the Ajax API (version indicated in the code). It provides a flexible interface to perform various operations on multiple resources managed by the Ajax system. Specifically, for the "Access Code" resource and the "Get Access Codes List" operation, the node retrieves a list of access codes associated with a particular user and hub.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

• Managing security systems by fetching all access codes assigned to a user within a specific hub.
• Auditing or monitoring access permissions across different hubs.
• Integrating Ajax security data into workflows for reporting or alerting purposes.

Practical example:

• A security administrator wants to generate a report of all access codes assigned to a user in a given hub. By configuring this node with the user's ID and hub's ID, they can retrieve the relevant access codes efficiently.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the list of access codes corresponding to the provided User Id and Hub Id. Each item in the output typically represents an access code object with its associated details as defined by the Ajax API.

If the node supports binary data output, it would generally relate to any attachments or files returned by the API, but based on the provided code and operation, the output is primarily JSON structured data representing access codes.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Ajax API.
• Depends on the @digital-boss/n8n-designpatterns package for response-operation resolution and execution logic.
• Uses internal backend modules for state management, HTTP client communication, and operation methods.
• The node expects proper configuration of the Ajax API credentials within n8n.

Troubleshooting

• Missing or invalid credentials: Ensure that the API key credential for the Ajax API is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
• Invalid User Id or Hub Id: Providing incorrect or non-existent identifiers will result in empty results or errors. Verify these IDs before running the node.
• API connectivity issues: Network problems or API downtime may cause request failures. Check network connectivity and the status of the Ajax API service.
• Unexpected response structure: If the API changes, the node might not parse responses correctly. Updating the node or checking for newer versions might be necessary.
