Overview

This node, named "Ajax," is designed to interact with a specific Ajax API (version indicated in the code). It supports multiple resources and operations, including the "Camera" resource with the "Get Cameras Linked To Hub" operation. The primary function of this operation is to retrieve a list of cameras that are linked to a particular hub within a user's system.

Common scenarios where this node would be beneficial include:

  • Managing security systems where hubs control multiple cameras.
  • Fetching camera details dynamically for monitoring or configuration purposes.
  • Integrating camera data into workflows for alerting, reporting, or automation.

For example, a user can input their User Id and Hub Id to get all cameras associated with that hub, enabling further processing such as status checks or video feed retrieval.

Properties

Name Meaning
User Id The unique identifier of the user owning the hub and cameras. Required for the request.
Hub Id The unique identifier of the hub whose linked cameras are to be retrieved. Required.

Output

The output of this node will be JSON data representing the cameras linked to the specified hub. Each item in the output typically contains details about a camera, such as its ID, name, status, and other relevant metadata provided by the Ajax API.

If the node supports binary data output (not explicitly shown in the provided code), it would likely relate to camera images or video streams, but based on the static analysis, the output focuses on JSON structured data describing cameras.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Ajax API.
  • Depends on the external Ajax API service to fetch camera data.
  • Uses internal helper classes for HTTP requests, state management, and operation resolution.
  • Needs proper configuration of the API credentials within n8n to function correctly.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid credentials: Ensure the API key credential is correctly set up and has the necessary permissions.
  • Invalid User Id or Hub Id: Verify that the provided identifiers are correct and correspond to existing entities in the Ajax system.
  • API connectivity issues: Check network access and the availability of the Ajax API endpoint.
  • Unexpected response structure: If the API changes, the node might fail to parse the response; updating the node or checking for newer versions may help.

Common error messages might include authentication failures, resource not found errors, or timeout errors. Resolving these typically involves verifying credentials, input parameters, and network conditions.
