Overview

This node, named "Ajax," is designed to interact with the Ajax API (version indicated in the code). It provides a flexible interface to perform various operations on multiple resources within the Ajax ecosystem. Specifically, for the "User" resource and the "Get User Info By ID" operation, the node retrieves detailed information about a user based on their unique identifier.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Fetching user profile details for display or processing in workflows.
  • Integrating user data retrieval into automation pipelines that require user-specific context.
  • Synchronizing user information from Ajax systems into other platforms.

Example use case: An automation workflow that triggers when a new event occurs and needs to enrich the event data with detailed user information by fetching it via this node using the user's ID.

Properties

Name Meaning
User Id The unique identifier of the user whose information you want to retrieve. This is a required string input.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the user information retrieved from the Ajax API. The structure typically includes all relevant user details as provided by the API, such as user name, contact info, status, roles, and other metadata associated with the user.

If the node supports binary data output (not explicitly shown in the provided code), it would represent any files or media related to the user, but this is not evident here.

Dependencies

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

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid API credentials: Ensure that the API key credential for the Ajax API is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
  • Invalid User Id: Providing an incorrect or non-existent user ID will likely result in an error or empty response. Verify the user ID before running the node.
  • Network issues: Connectivity problems can cause request failures; check network access to the Ajax API endpoint.
  • API changes: If the Ajax API version changes or deprecates endpoints, the node might fail; ensure compatibility with the current API version.

Common error messages may include authentication failures, resource not found errors, or timeout exceptions. Resolving these typically involves verifying credentials, input parameters, and network conditions.
