Consume Ajax API (v.0.1.2)

Actions242

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 "Network" resource with the operation "Get Join Wifi Network Operation Status." The node facilitates querying the status of a Wi-Fi network join operation for a given user and hub.

Typical use cases include:

  • Monitoring the progress or result of a device or user joining a Wi-Fi network managed by the Ajax system.
  • Integrating Ajax network status checks into automated workflows, such as alerting or logging when a join operation completes or fails.
  • Fetching real-time network join statuses to drive conditional logic in automation scenarios.

Example: A workflow could trigger this node to check if a particular user’s device has successfully joined a specified Wi-Fi hub, then proceed based on the returned status.

Properties

Name Meaning
User Id The identifier of the user whose Wi-Fi network join operation status is being queried.
Hub Id The identifier of the hub associated with the Wi-Fi network join operation.
Token An authentication token required to authorize the request to the Ajax API.

These properties are all required inputs for the "Get Join Wifi Network Operation Status" operation under the "Network" resource.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the status of the Wi-Fi network join operation for the specified user and hub. While the exact structure is not detailed in the provided source, it typically includes fields such as:

  • Current status of the join operation (e.g., pending, successful, failed).
  • Timestamps or duration related to the operation.
  • Any error messages or codes if the join operation failed.
  • Possibly additional metadata about the network or device state.

If binary data were involved, it would be summarized here, but based on the operation's nature, output is expected to be purely JSON.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Ajax API.
  • Depends on the @digital-boss/n8n-designpatterns package for response and operation handling.
  • Uses internal backend modules for HTTP client communication and state management.
  • The node expects proper configuration of the API credentials within n8n to function correctly.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Invalid or expired token leading to authentication failures.
    • Incorrect User Id or Hub Id causing no data or errors returned.
    • Network connectivity issues preventing API calls.
  • Error Messages:

    • Authentication errors: Ensure the token is valid and has necessary permissions.
    • Resource not found or invalid parameters: Verify that User Id and Hub Id are correct.
    • Timeout or network errors: Check network connectivity and API endpoint availability.

Resolving these usually involves verifying input parameters, refreshing credentials, and ensuring stable network access.
