Consume Ajax API (v.0.1.2)

Actions242

Overview

This node, named "Ajax," is designed to interact with a backend Ajax API (version indicated in the code). It supports multiple resources and operations, including managing network settings such as enabling or disabling a WiFi network channel. The node acts as a generic interface to perform various backend operations by sending requests through an HTTP client.

A common use case for the "Enable/disable WiFi Network Channel" operation under the "Network" resource is remotely controlling the state of a WiFi channel on a specific hub device associated with a user. For example, a network administrator could automate turning off WiFi channels during certain hours or enable them when needed without manual intervention.

Properties

Name Meaning
User Id The identifier of the user owning or associated with the network/hub.
Hub Id The identifier of the hub device whose WiFi network channel state is to be changed.
State The desired state of the WiFi network channel. Options: ON to enable, OFF to disable.

Output

The node outputs data in JSON format representing the result of the requested operation. This typically includes confirmation of the action taken, status information, or any returned data from the backend API related to enabling or disabling the WiFi network channel.

If the operation involves binary data (not evident here), it would be included in a separate binary output field, but this node primarily deals with JSON responses.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential to authenticate with the Ajax backend API.
  • Depends on the backend Ajax API service being available and reachable.
  • Uses an internal HTTP client to send requests to the backend.
  • The node relies on several imported modules for operation resolution and execution logic, but these are bundled internally.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Incorrect User Id or Hub Id values may lead to errors indicating that the specified entities do not exist.
    • Providing an invalid State value (anything other than ON or OFF) will likely cause validation errors.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent the node from reaching the backend API.
  • Error messages:

    • Authentication errors: Check that the API key credential is correctly configured and valid.
    • Not found errors: Verify that the provided User Id and Hub Id correspond to existing records.
    • Validation errors: Ensure all required parameters are provided and conform to expected formats.
    • Timeout or connection errors: Confirm network access to the backend API endpoint.
