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 provides a flexible interface to perform various operations on multiple resources related to an Ajax system, such as users, hubs, companies, devices, and more.

For the selected Resource "User" and Operation "Get Permission For CompanyId On Hub For Photo By User," the node retrieves permission information for a given user regarding a specific company within a hub context. This can be useful in scenarios where you need to verify or audit user permissions dynamically before allowing access to certain features or data, such as photo access or management rights within a company's hub.

Practical examples:

  • Checking if a user has permission to view or manage photos associated with a company in a particular hub.
  • Validating user access rights before performing sensitive operations in a multi-tenant environment.
  • Integrating permission checks into workflows that automate user access control or reporting.

Properties

Name Meaning
User Id The unique identifier of the user whose permission is being queried.
Hub Id The unique identifier of the hub where the company resides.
Company Id The unique identifier of the company for which the user's permission is checked.

These properties are required inputs to specify the exact context (user, hub, company) for which the permission check is performed.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the permission details for the specified user on the given company within the hub. The structure typically includes fields indicating whether the user has permission, the scope or level of permission, and possibly metadata about the permission status.

If the node supports binary data output (not explicitly shown in the provided code), it would relate to any binary content returned by the API, but for this operation, the focus is on JSON permission data.

Dependencies

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

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid credentials: Ensure the API key credential is correctly set up and valid; otherwise, authentication errors will occur.
  • Incorrect property values: Providing invalid or non-existent User Id, Hub Id, or Company Id may result in empty responses or errors from the API.
  • API connectivity issues: Network problems or incorrect endpoint configurations can cause request failures.
  • Permission denied errors: If the user does not have permission, the API might return an error or a permission denied status; handle these gracefully in your workflow.
  • Version mismatch: Using an outdated version of the API or node could lead to unexpected behavior; verify compatibility.
