Hello Guys,

I would like to perform some query on aws, but I’m not sure what is the best was to do it.  
Usually I use my terminal or python snippet with the boto3 library.

An example would be to get information like :

```auto
aws support describe-trusted-advisor-check-result --check-id XXXX --profile YYYY --language en --query "result.flaggedResources[?status!='not_available']"

```

Happy to get some feedback or ideas 🙂

Hi @flo, welcome to the community!

You can continue to use your existing CLI commands even with n8n in case where no pre-built node is available and you’d rather not set up your API requests using n8n’s HTTP Request node.

You have essentially two options in such a scenario:

- The [Execute Command](https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/builtin/core-nodes/n8n-nodes-base.executecommand/) node. This lets you run any CLI command on the host.
- Alternatively, you can also consider using the [SSH](https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/builtin/core-nodes/n8n-nodes-base.ssh/) node to run your command on a remote machine (in case the CLI isn’t available on the n8n host for example).
