Hetzner CloudInstall

Summary

Retrieves a single Hetzner Cloud server by ID via GET /v1/servers/{id} and returns the server object.

Inputs

• Server (required) — The server to fetch. Pick from a searchable list (first 50 servers, filtered by name) or supply the numeric server ID directly via 'By ID'. Expressions can be used in ID mode.
• Request Options — Optional node settings: Batching (items per batch, default 50, and interval in ms, default 1000), Ignore SSL Issues, Proxy URL, and Timeout in ms (default 10000).

Output shape

One item per input item, containing the server object (the 'server' property of the API response is unwrapped), e.g. id, name, status, public_net, server_type, datacenter, image, labels and protection.

Requires Hetzner Cloud API credentials. An unknown ID results in an API error (e.g. not found). The list picker shows only the first 50 servers, so use 'By ID' for larger projects.

Examples

Example 1: Check a server's current status before powering it on

Resource: Server, Operation: Get, Server: By ID = {{ $json.serverId }}

Example 2: Look up a server's public IP for a follow-up step

Resource: Server, Operation: Get, Server: From List = web-01; read public_net.ipv4.ip from the output
