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 the "Network" resource with the "Get Scan Wifi Networks" operation. The primary function of this operation is to scan for available Wi-Fi networks associated with a specified user and hub, using an authentication token.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Retrieving a list of Wi-Fi networks detected by a specific hub device for network management or monitoring.
  • Integrating Wi-Fi scanning capabilities into automation workflows that require dynamic network information.
  • Collecting network environment data for diagnostics or configuration purposes.

Practical example:

  • An automation workflow that periodically scans Wi-Fi networks around a hub device to detect new or unauthorized access points and triggers alerts accordingly.

Properties

Name Meaning
User Id The identifier of the user requesting the Wi-Fi network scan.
Hub Id The identifier of the hub device performing the Wi-Fi scan.
Token The authentication token required to authorize the request to the Ajax API backend.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the results of the Wi-Fi network scan. This typically includes details about the detected Wi-Fi networks such as SSID, signal strength, security type, and other relevant metadata returned by the backend Ajax API.

If the node supports binary data output, it would relate to any raw data or files received from the API, but based on the provided code and context, the output is primarily structured JSON data describing scanned Wi-Fi networks.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating requests to the Ajax API backend.
  • Depends on the external Ajax API service provided by the backend system identified as "Ajax API."
  • The node uses internal helper classes for HTTP communication, state management, and operation resolution/execution.
  • No additional environment variables are explicitly required beyond the API credentials.

Troubleshooting

  • Authentication errors: If the token or API credentials are invalid or expired, the node will fail to authenticate. Ensure the token is current and correctly configured.
  • Missing required properties: The node requires User Id, Hub Id, and Token. Omitting any of these will cause execution errors.
  • Network connectivity issues: Failures in reaching the Ajax API backend may result in timeouts or connection errors. Verify network access and endpoint availability.
  • Unexpected API responses: If the backend changes its response format or returns errors, the node might not parse results correctly. Check API documentation and update node or credentials accordingly.
