AjaxInstall

Overview

This node, named "Ajax," is designed to interact with a generic Ajax API, specifically versioned as indicated in the code. It supports multiple resources and operations, including the "Employee Management" resource with the "Get List Of Employees" operation. The node fetches employee data from a specified company, allowing users to retrieve lists of employees with optional pagination controls.

Common scenarios for this node include:

• Integrating employee data from an external system into n8n workflows.
• Automating HR processes by fetching updated employee lists regularly.
• Combining employee information with other business data for reporting or notifications.

For example, a user might configure the node to get the first 50 employees of a company by specifying the company ID and setting the limit to 50, then use this data downstream for further processing.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the list of employees retrieved from the specified company. The structure typically includes an array of employee objects, each representing an individual employee's details as returned by the backend API.

If binary data were involved, it would be summarized here, but based on the provided code and operation, the output is purely JSON.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Ajax API service.
• Depends on the external Ajax API endpoint that provides employee management data.
• Uses internal helper classes for HTTP requests, state management, and response-operation resolution.
• No additional environment variables are explicitly required beyond the API authentication.

Troubleshooting

• Missing or invalid Company Id: The node requires a valid company identifier; ensure this is correctly provided.
• API Authentication Errors: If the API key credential is missing or incorrect, authentication will fail. Verify the credential configuration.
• Pagination Issues: Setting very high limits or offsets beyond available data may result in empty responses.
• Network or API Downtime: Connectivity issues or API unavailability will cause request failures; check network status and API health.
• Unexpected Response Structure: If the backend API changes its response format, the node might not parse employee data correctly.
