Ikoula API Dedicated ServerInstall

Overview

This node interacts with the Ikoula Dedicated Server API to manage reverse DNS entries among other server-related functionalities. Specifically, for the "Reverse DN" resource and the "List Reverse DNS" operation, it retrieves a list of reverse DNS entries associated with a given dedicated server IP address. This is useful for administrators who need to audit or verify reverse DNS configurations on their servers.

Practical examples include:

• Fetching all reverse DNS records for a server to ensure proper PTR records are set.
• Integrating reverse DNS checks into automated monitoring workflows.
• Auditing reverse DNS settings before making network changes.

Properties

Output

The node outputs an array of items where each item contains a json field holding the API response data. For the "List Reverse DNS" operation, this JSON typically includes the list of reverse DNS entries associated with the specified server IP.

If the response format is JSON, the output will be parsed JSON data representing the reverse DNS entries. If XML is chosen, the raw XML string is returned inside the data property of the JSON output.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Ikoula API.
• The node uses HTTPS requests to the Ikoula API endpoint (default: https://api.ikoula.com).
• The password is encrypted using RSA public key encryption before sending.
• Proper configuration of credentials within n8n is necessary for successful API calls.

Troubleshooting

• No credentials provided!
  This error occurs if the node is executed without valid API credentials configured. Ensure that the required API authentication token is set up correctly in n8n credentials.

• HTTP request failures
  Network issues, incorrect server IP, or invalid parameters can cause HTTP errors. Verify the server IP is correct and reachable, and that the API service is operational.

• Invalid response format
  If the selected response format does not match expected content, parsing errors may occur. Choose JSON for easier integration unless XML is specifically needed.

• Permission or access denied errors
  These indicate that the API key lacks permissions for the requested operation. Confirm that the API key has rights to access reverse DNS information.
