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 "Group" resource with the "Get Groups List" operation. The node fetches data from the Ajax backend by making HTTP requests through a custom client.

For the "Get Groups List" operation under the "Group" resource, the node retrieves a list of groups associated with a specified user and hub. This is useful in scenarios where you need to programmatically access group information for a particular user within a hub, such as managing user permissions, monitoring group status, or integrating group data into other workflows.

Practical examples:

  • Automating the retrieval of all groups a user belongs to within a hub for reporting.
  • Syncing group lists with an external system based on user and hub context.
  • Triggering downstream processes when group membership changes are detected.

Properties

Name Meaning
User Id The unique identifier of the user whose groups you want to retrieve.
Hub Id The unique identifier of the hub within which to find the groups related to the user.

These properties are required inputs for the "Get Groups 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 user and hub. The exact structure depends on the API response but typically includes group identifiers, names, and possibly metadata about each group.

If the node supports binary data output, it would represent any non-JSON payloads returned by the API; however, based on the provided code and operation, the output is primarily JSON.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Ajax API.
  • Depends on internal modules for HTTP communication (HttpClient), state management (State), and operation resolution/execution (ResOpResolver, ResOpExecutor).
  • The node expects the environment to have access to the Ajax API endpoint configured via credentials.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid credentials: The node requires a valid API authentication token. Ensure the credential is correctly set up in n8n.
  • Invalid User Id or Hub Id: Providing incorrect or non-existent IDs will result in empty results or errors from the API.
  • Network issues: Connectivity problems to the Ajax API endpoint can cause request failures.
  • API version mismatch: Using an outdated or incompatible API version may lead to unexpected errors.
  • Error messages: Common errors might include authorization failures, resource not found, or bad request due to missing parameters. Verify input values and credentials to resolve these.
