Overview

This node, named "Ajax," is designed to interact with the Ajax API (version indicated in the code). It supports multiple resources and operations, including the "Hub" resource with the "Reset Sim Traffic Counter" operation. The primary function of this operation is to reset the traffic counter for a SIM card associated with a specific hub and user.

Common scenarios where this node would be beneficial include managing IoT devices or hubs that use SIM cards for connectivity, where monitoring and resetting data usage counters is necessary to control costs or troubleshoot connectivity issues.

For example, a network administrator could use this node to reset the data usage counter on a particular SIM card within a hub after a billing cycle ends or when troubleshooting unexpected data consumption.

Properties

Name Meaning
User Id The identifier of the user who owns or manages the hub.
Hub Id The identifier of the hub device whose SIM traffic counter is to be reset.
Additional Fields Optional fields; currently supports:
- Sim Card Index Numeric index specifying which SIM card's traffic counter to reset (typically 1 or 2).

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the reset operation. This typically includes confirmation of success or failure and any relevant metadata returned by the Ajax API regarding the reset action.

If the node handles binary data, it is not evident from the provided code snippet; thus, the output is primarily JSON structured data related to the operation's response.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Ajax API via an API key credential.
  • The node depends on internal modules for HTTP communication, state management, and operation resolution.
  • Proper configuration of the API authentication token or key within n8n credentials is necessary.
  • No additional external services beyond the Ajax API are required.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Invalid or missing User Id or Hub Id parameters will cause the operation to fail.
    • Incorrect or expired API credentials will prevent successful communication with the Ajax API.
    • Providing an invalid Sim Card Index (other than 1 or 2) may lead to errors or no effect.

  • Error Messages:

    • Authentication errors indicating invalid API keys require updating the stored credentials.
    • Parameter validation errors suggest checking that all required fields are correctly filled.
    • Network or timeout errors imply connectivity issues with the Ajax API endpoint.

To resolve these issues, verify all input parameters, ensure valid and current API credentials, and confirm network accessibility to the Ajax API.
