Ikoula API AcronisInstall

Overview

This node integrates with the Ikoula Acronis API to manage Acronis backup services. It allows users to list all their Acronis backup services or retrieve details about a specific service subscription. This is useful for IT administrators and backup managers who want to automate monitoring, reporting, or management of their backup services within n8n workflows.

Practical examples:

• Automatically fetch and log all active Acronis backup services for auditing.
• Retrieve detailed information about a particular backup subscription to trigger alerts or further processing.
• Integrate backup service data into dashboards or ticketing systems.

Properties

Note: The operation "List Services" uses only the "Response Format" property from the provided input properties.

Output

The node outputs an array of items where each item contains a json field representing the API response:

• If the response format is JSON, the json field contains the parsed JSON object returned by the Ikoula Acronis API listing the services.
• If the response format is XML, the json field contains the raw XML string under a data property (as a string), since XML responses are not parsed automatically.

Each output item is paired with the corresponding input item index.

No binary data output is produced by this node.

Dependencies

• Requires valid credentials for the Ikoula API, including email, password, and optionally a custom API URL.
• The password is encrypted using RSA public key encryption before being sent.
• The node makes HTTP GET requests to the Ikoula API endpoint /acronis to list services.
• The node expects the API to support both JSON and XML response formats.

Troubleshooting

• No credentials provided!
  This error occurs if the required API credentials are missing. Ensure that you have configured the necessary API authentication credentials in n8n before running the node.

• HTTP request failures:
  Network issues, incorrect API URLs, or invalid credentials can cause request errors. Verify your API URL and credentials.

• Unexpected response format:
  If you select XML as the response format, the node returns raw XML as a string inside the data property. Downstream nodes expecting JSON will fail unless you parse the XML manually.

• Continue on Fail:
  If enabled, the node will continue processing subsequent items even if one fails, returning error messages in the output.
