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 "Hub" resource with an operation to "Update Hub Image." The node facilitates updating the image associated with a hub by sending the appropriate data to the backend service.

Common scenarios for this node include:

  • Updating or changing the image of a hub device or entity within a system that uses the Ajax API.
  • Automating image updates as part of a larger workflow involving hub management.
  • Integrating with external systems to keep hub images current without manual intervention.

For example, a user might use this node to update the image of a security hub after a maintenance event or to reflect a new physical setup.

Properties

Name Meaning
User Id The identifier of the user performing the update.
Hub Id The identifier of the hub whose image is being updated.
Image Data Property Name The name of the property in the input data that contains the image data to upload.

These properties are required when performing the "Update Hub Image" operation on the "Hub" resource.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the update operation. This typically includes confirmation of success or failure, and may contain metadata about the updated hub image.

If the node handles binary data (such as the image itself), it would be referenced via the specified "Image Data Property Name" from the input, but the output primarily focuses on JSON response data confirming the update.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Ajax API.
  • Depends on the @digital-boss/n8n-designpatterns package for operation resolution and execution logic.
  • Uses internal backend modules for state management, HTTP client communication, and operation methods.
  • The node expects the environment to have access to the Ajax API endpoint configured via credentials.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid credentials: Ensure the API key credential is correctly set up and has sufficient permissions.
  • Invalid User Id or Hub Id: Verify that the provided identifiers exist and are correct.
  • Incorrect Image Data Property Name: Confirm that the input data contains the image under the specified property name; otherwise, the update will fail.
  • API errors: Check the response messages for details; common issues include network problems, authorization failures, or malformed requests.
  • Version mismatch: The node uses a specific version of the Ajax API; ensure compatibility between the node version and the backend API.
