AjaxInstall

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 "Scan Wifi Networks" operation. The primary function of this operation is to scan for available Wi-Fi networks associated with a given user and hub.

Typical use cases include:

• Retrieving a list of Wi-Fi networks detected by a particular hub device for a specified user.
• Integrating network scanning capabilities into automation workflows that require dynamic network information.
• Monitoring or managing network environments remotely via the Ajax API.

For example, a security system administrator could automate the process of scanning Wi-Fi networks around a security hub to detect unauthorized access points.

Properties

These properties are required inputs when performing the "Scan Wifi Networks" operation under the "Network" resource.

Output

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

If the node supports binary data output (not explicitly shown in the provided code), it would likely relate to raw scan data or logs, but based on the static analysis, the main output is structured JSON describing the scanned networks.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Ajax API service.
• Depends on the @digital-boss/n8n-designpatterns package for response-operation resolution and execution patterns.
• Uses internal backend modules for state management, HTTP client communication, and operation methods.
• The node expects proper configuration of the Ajax API credentials within n8n to successfully authenticate requests.

Troubleshooting

• Missing or invalid credentials: Ensure that the API key credential for the Ajax API is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
• Invalid User Id or Hub Id: Verify that the provided identifiers correspond to existing entities in the Ajax system; otherwise, the API may return errors or empty results.
• Network connectivity issues: Since the node communicates with an external API, ensure that the n8n instance has internet access and can reach the Ajax API endpoints.
• API version mismatch: The node uses a specific API version; if the backend changes or deprecates endpoints, update the node or check compatibility.
• Error messages from the API: These should be inspected in the node's execution logs; common errors might include authentication failures, rate limiting, or malformed requests.
