Node-RED IBM Connections Nodes

This package contains a set of nodes to interact with IBM Connections.

Changes

Changes in V1.4.1

• The Get Files node now returns also folders (optionally in a recursive way)
• We added an Upload File node that enables uploading files to IBM Connections. The node supports uploading a file into the user's library and into a community's library.
• The Get AS node has been limited to returning 20 entries by default. For this reason we added the parameter count for specifying the maximum number of returned entries.

LOGIN configuration node

All the nodes described above require a configuration node in order to work. This is the ICLogin node. The node supports both Basic Authentication and OAuth2.0 Authentication. The same configuration node can be reused across all the instances of the previously described nodes.

Supported environments

These nodes are intended for On-prem instances of IBM Connections >= 4.0 and also for IBM Connections Cloud
