AvantGuard - Phin Security

Overview

This node integrates with the AvantGuard Phin Security API to retrieve historical data about a specific company. It is useful for scenarios where users need to analyze or audit past information related to a company, such as compliance checks, security assessments, or historical record keeping.

For example, a user might want to fetch all historical security events or changes associated with a company identified by its unique ID and partner ID to monitor trends or investigate incidents over time.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the historical records of the specified company. This typically includes structured information returned from the AvantGuard Phin Security API about the company's past data points or events.

If the API supports binary data (e.g., reports or documents), the node would handle it accordingly, but based on the provided code and properties, the output is primarily JSON-formatted historical data.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the AvantGuard Phin Security API.
• The node communicates with the API endpoint at https://api.phinsec.io.
• Proper configuration of the API authentication credentials within n8n is necessary.

Troubleshooting

• Missing or invalid Partner Id or Company Id: Ensure both IDs are correctly provided and valid; otherwise, the API may return errors or empty results.
• Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly set up and has sufficient permissions.
• Network issues: Confirm that the n8n instance can reach https://api.phinsec.io without firewall or proxy restrictions.
• API rate limits or downtime: If requests fail repeatedly, check if the API service is available and whether rate limits have been exceeded.
