Ajax

Consume Ajax API (v.0.1.2)

Actions242

Overview

The node named "Ajax" is designed to interact with the Ajax API, specifically versioned as indicated in the code. It supports multiple resources and operations, including the "Group" resource with the "Get Group List" operation. This operation retrieves a list of groups associated with a specified company and hub.

This node is beneficial when you need to programmatically access group data from the Ajax system within an n8n workflow. For example, it can be used to automate fetching all groups for a particular company and hub to synchronize with other systems or trigger further automation based on group membership.

Properties

Name Meaning
Company Id The unique identifier of the company whose groups you want to retrieve. (string)
Hub Id The unique identifier of the hub within the company to filter the groups. (string)

These properties are required inputs for the "Get Group List" operation under the "Group" resource.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the list of groups retrieved from the Ajax API for the specified company and hub. Each item in the output typically contains details about a group such as its ID, name, and possibly other metadata depending on the API response structure.

If the node supports binary data output, it would generally relate to any files or media associated with groups, but this is not evident from the provided code snippet.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Ajax API.
  • Depends on the external @digital-boss/n8n-designpatterns package for handling resource-operation resolution and execution.
  • Uses internal backend modules for HTTP client communication and state management.
  • 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 Company Id or Hub Id: Providing incorrect or non-existent IDs will result in empty results or errors. Verify these IDs before running the node.
  • Network issues: Connectivity problems may cause request failures; check network access and proxy settings if applicable.
  • API changes: If the Ajax API changes its endpoints or response formats, the node might fail until updated accordingly.

Common error messages might include authentication failures, resource not found, or request timeouts. Resolving them involves checking credentials, input parameters, and network conditions.
