Consume Ajax API (v.0.1.2)

Actions242

Overview

This node, named "Ajax," is designed to interact with a generic Ajax API (version indicated in the description). It supports multiple resources and operations, including the "Hub" resource with an operation to "Unmark Object As Vacant By Company." The node facilitates sending requests to the backend API to perform various actions related to different entities such as hubs, users, rooms, devices, and more.

A practical use case for the "Unmark Object As Vacant By Company" operation under the "Hub" resource would be in facility or property management systems where objects (e.g., rooms, desks, or equipment) are marked as vacant or occupied. This operation allows the user to update the status of an object associated with a specific company, marking it as no longer vacant.

Properties

Name Meaning
Company Id The unique identifier of the company owning the object to unmark as vacant.
Hub Id The unique identifier of the hub containing the object to be updated.

These properties are required inputs when selecting the "Hub" resource and the "Unmark Object As Vacant" operation.

Output

The node outputs data in JSON format representing the response from the Ajax API after performing the requested operation. The exact structure depends on the backend API's response but typically includes confirmation of the action taken or details about the updated object.

If the node handles binary data, it would represent files or media returned by the API; however, based on the provided code and operation, this node primarily deals with JSON responses.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Ajax API.
  • Depends on the HttpClient class to send HTTP requests to the backend.
  • Uses internal modules for state management and operation resolution/execution.
  • The node expects the backend API to support the specified resources and operations.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid credentials: Ensure that the API key credential is correctly configured in n8n to authenticate requests.
  • Invalid Company Id or Hub Id: Providing incorrect identifiers may result in errors or no changes. Verify these IDs against your backend system.
  • API connectivity issues: Network problems or incorrect API endpoint configurations can cause request failures.
  • Unsupported operation or resource: Selecting an unsupported combination will likely cause the node to throw an error. Confirm that "Hub" and "Unmark Object As Vacant" are valid selections.
  • Error messages from backend: These should be reviewed to understand if the issue is due to permissions, invalid data, or server errors.
