Ikoula API Dedicated ServerInstall

Overview

This node interacts with the Ikoula Dedicated Server API to manage reverse DNS entries among other server-related operations. Specifically, for the "Reverse DN" resource and the "Modify Reverse DNS" operation, it allows users to modify an existing reverse DNS entry associated with a dedicated server IP address.

Typical use cases include updating or correcting the reverse DNS records for a server's IP address, which is important for email deliverability, network diagnostics, and ensuring proper domain name resolution in reverse lookups.

For example, if you have a dedicated server with IP 192.0.2.1 and want to update its reverse DNS entry identified by a specific ID, this node operation will send the appropriate API request to modify that record.

Properties

Output

The node outputs the API response in the specified format (json or xml). When JSON is selected, the output is parsed into a JavaScript object under the json field. This typically contains the details of the modified reverse DNS entry or any status message from the API.

If XML is selected, the raw XML string is returned as the data inside the json field under a property named data.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Ikoula API.
• The node uses RSA public key encryption to encrypt the password before sending it to the API.
• The base URL for the API defaults to https://api.ikoula.com but can be overridden via credentials.
• Proper configuration of the API credentials (email, password, API URL) is necessary for successful requests.

Troubleshooting

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

• Invalid Reverse DNS ID or Server IP
  If the reverse DNS ID or server IP is incorrect or does not exist, the API may return an error. Verify these values before running the node.

• API Response Errors
  The API might return errors related to permissions, invalid parameters, or server issues. Check the exact error message in the node output and consult the Ikoula API documentation or support.

• Response Format Issues
  Selecting XML format returns raw XML data as a string. If further processing is needed, consider using JSON format or parsing the XML accordingly.
