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 an operation to "Update Wifi Settings." The node facilitates updating network configuration parameters such as IP address, DNS, gateway, DHCP status, and subnet mask for a given user and hub.

Typical use cases include automating network configuration changes in smart home or IoT environments where hubs and devices are managed remotely. For example, a user might update the WiFi settings of a hub device to change its static IP or switch between DHCP and static addressing.

Properties

Name Meaning
User Id Identifier of the user owning or managing the network/hub.
Hub Id Identifier of the hub device whose WiFi settings are being updated.
Dns DNS server address to be set on the hub's network configuration.
Ip Static IP address to assign to the hub if DHCP is disabled.
Gate Gateway address for the hub's network.
Dhcp Boolean flag indicating whether DHCP is enabled (true) or static IP is used (false).
Mask Subnet mask for the network configuration.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the update operation. This typically includes confirmation of the updated settings or any response data returned by the Ajax API after applying the new WiFi configuration. The exact structure depends on the API response but generally reflects success status and updated network details.

No binary data output is indicated in the source code.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Ajax API.
  • Depends on the external Ajax API service to perform network configuration updates.
  • Uses internal helper classes for HTTP communication, state management, and operation resolution/execution.
  • No additional environment variables or n8n configurations beyond providing valid credentials for the Ajax API are required.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Incorrect or incomplete network parameters (e.g., invalid IP format) may lead to API errors.
    • Network connectivity issues between n8n and the Ajax API endpoint can cause request timeouts or failures.
  • Error messages:

    • Authentication errors typically indicate invalid or expired API keys; verify and update credentials.
    • Validation errors from the API may specify which network parameter is incorrect; ensure all required fields are correctly formatted.
    • Timeout or connection errors suggest network problems; check internet access and API availability.

Links and References

  • Refer to the official Ajax API documentation for detailed information on network configuration endpoints and parameter requirements.
  • Consult n8n documentation on how to configure API credentials securely within workflows.
