Work with the Huntress API

Actions9

Overview

This node integrates with the Huntress API to retrieve detailed information about a specific Agent by its unique identifier. It is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch data about an individual agent within your security or IT environment managed by Huntress, such as for monitoring, auditing, or incident investigation purposes.

For example, you might use this node to:

  • Get the current status and details of a particular agent installed on a device.
  • Retrieve agent metadata to correlate with other system events.
  • Automate reporting workflows that require agent-specific information.

Properties

Name Meaning
Agent ID The unique numeric identifier of the agent to retrieve.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the detailed information of the specified agent. This typically includes fields such as agent status, version, last check-in time, associated device details, and other metadata provided by the Huntress API.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Huntress API.
  • Needs an API authentication token configured in the node credentials to authorize requests.
  • The base URL for API requests is https://api.huntress.io/v1.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Agent ID: If the provided Agent ID does not exist or is incorrect, the API may return a 404 error. Verify the Agent ID before making the request.
  • Authentication Errors: If the API key or token is missing or invalid, the node will fail to authenticate. Ensure the API credential is correctly set up in n8n.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems can cause request failures. Check network access to the Huntress API endpoint.
  • API Rate Limits: Excessive requests may be throttled by the API. Implement retry logic or reduce request frequency if needed.
