Security Scan → Get Scan Results
AI-generatedOverview
This node interacts with the Ikoula Dedicated Server API to manage various server-related resources, including security scans. Specifically, the Get Scan Results operation under the Security Scan resource retrieves the results of a previously requested security scan on a dedicated server.
Typical use cases include:
- Automatically fetching detailed security scan reports for servers to monitor vulnerabilities.
- Integrating security scan results into broader IT automation workflows for alerting or compliance.
- Periodically retrieving scan data in JSON or XML format for further processing or archival.
For example, after scheduling a security scan on a server, you can use this node operation to fetch the scan results by providing the server IP and the scan ID.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Server IP | The IP address of the dedicated server where the security scan was performed. |
| Scan ID | The unique identifier of the security scan whose results are to be retrieved. |
| Response Format | The format of the API response; options are JSON or XML. |
Output
The node outputs the security scan results in the json field of the output data. The structure depends on the chosen response format:
- If JSON is selected, the output will be a parsed JSON object representing the scan results.
- If XML is selected, the output will be a string containing the raw XML response from the API.
The output contains detailed information about the security scan findings as provided by the Ikoula API.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Ikoula Dedicated Server 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 being sent.
- No additional external dependencies beyond standard n8n HTTP request helpers.
Troubleshooting
No credentials provided!
This error occurs if the required API authentication credentials are missing. Ensure that valid credentials are configured in n8n before running the node.Invalid Server IP or Scan ID
Providing an incorrect server IP or scan ID may result in API errors or empty responses. Verify these inputs carefully.API Response Format Issues
Selecting XML format returns raw XML strings which might require parsing downstream. Choose JSON if you want structured objects directly.Network or API Errors
Network connectivity issues or API downtime can cause request failures. Check network access and Ikoula service status.Continue On Fail
If enabled, the node will continue processing other items even if one fails, returning error details in the output.
