Hetzner CloudInstall

Summary

Retrieves a single Hetzner Cloud Floating IP by ID and returns its record. Sends GET /v1/floating_ips/{id} and unwraps the floating_ip property from the response.

Inputs

• Floating IP (required) — The Floating IP to fetch. Choose 'From List' (searchable dropdown of up to 50 Floating IPs, labelled by name, falling back to IP or ID) or 'By ID' to enter the numeric ID, which can be an expression. The ID is inserted into the request URL.
• Request Options — Node-level HTTP settings: batching (items per batch, default 50, and interval in ms, default 1000), ignore SSL certificate issues, an HTTP proxy URL, and a request timeout in ms (default 10000).

Output shape

One item per input item, containing the Floating IP object from the Hetzner API (the contents of the floating_ip key).

The API's floating_ip object typically includes fields such as id, name, ip, type, server, home_location, dns_ptr, protection and labels. The exact fields come from the API and aren't defined in this node. Requires Hetzner Cloud API credentials. A non-existent ID results in an API error.

Examples

Example 1: Check which server a Floating IP is currently assigned to before reassigning it.

Resource: Floating IP, Operation: Get, Floating IP: From List, pick the IP. Read server from the output.

Example 2: Look up a Floating IP using an ID produced by an earlier node.

Floating IP mode: By ID, value set to the expression {{ $json.floatingIpId }}.
