Overview

This node integrates with the Halo PSA API, allowing users to perform various operations on different resources within the Halo PSA system. Specifically, for the "Generic" resource and the "List Of Generic" operation, it sends a GET request to retrieve a list of generic items from the API, optionally filtered or structured based on input parameters.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Fetching categorized or grouped data from Halo PSA that does not fit into more specific resource types.
  • Retrieving hierarchical or tree-structured data when supported by the API.
  • Filtering lists by type or including specific types for groups.

Practical example:

  • A user wants to get a list of generic configuration items or categories from Halo PSA, possibly filtering by type or requesting the data in a tree structure to visualize parent-child relationships.

Properties

Name Meaning
Includetypesforgroups (string) Specifies which types to include for groups in the returned list.
Istree (boolean or null) Indicates whether the returned list should be structured as a tree.
Type (string) Filters the list by a specific type of generic item to retrieve.

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects representing the retrieved generic items from the Halo PSA API. Each item corresponds to an element in the list returned by the API.

  • The json field contains the parsed response from the API call.
  • If the API supports hierarchical data and Istree is set, the output may represent nested structures.
  • No binary data output is indicated for this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires valid credentials for the Halo PSA API, including base URL, tenant identifier, client ID, and client secret.
  • The node uses these credentials to authenticate requests via custom headers.
  • No additional external services are required beyond access to the Halo PSA API endpoint.

Troubleshooting

  • No credentials returned!: This error occurs if the node cannot find or access the required API credentials. Ensure that the API key credential is properly configured in n8n.
  • Resource or Operation not found: If the specified resource or operation does not exist, verify that the correct resource ("Generic") and operation ("List Of Generic") names are used.
  • API request errors: Network issues, invalid parameters, or authentication failures will cause the API request to fail. Check the credentials, network connectivity, and parameter values.
  • JSON parsing errors: If query parameters or request bodies are provided as JSON strings, ensure they are correctly formatted.
