# n8n API Reference
|
||||
|
||||
## Authentication
|
||||
|
||||
The n8n API uses API key authentication via the `X-N8N-API-KEY` header.
|
||||
|
||||
API keys are managed in the n8n UI:
|
||||
- Settings → API
|
||||
- User profile → API
|
||||
|
||||
## Base URL
|
||||
|
||||
`N8N_BASE_URL`
|
||||
|
||||
Default: `${N8N_BASE_URL}$/api/v1`
|
||||
|
||||
## Endpoints
|
||||
|
||||

## Common Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### List Active Workflows
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python3 scripts/n8n_api.py list-workflows --active true --pretty
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Get Workflow Details
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python3 scripts/n8n_api.py get-workflow --id <workflow-id> --pretty
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Activate/Deactivate Workflow
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python3 scripts/n8n_api.py activate --id <workflow-id>
|
||||
python3 scripts/n8n_api.py deactivate --id <workflow-id>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### List Recent Executions
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python3 scripts/n8n_api.py list-executions --limit 10 --pretty
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Manually Execute Workflow
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python3 scripts/n8n_api.py execute --id <workflow-id>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
With data:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python3 scripts/n8n_api.py execute --id <workflow-id> --data '{"key": "value"}'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Error Handling
|
||||
|
||||
HTTP status codes:
|
||||
- `200` - Success
|
||||
- `400` - Bad request
|
||||
- `401` - Unauthorized (invalid API key)
|
||||
- `404` - Not found
|
||||
- `500` - Server error
|
||||
|
||||
## Environment Variables
|
||||
|
||||
Required:
|
||||
- `N8N_API_KEY` - n8n API key
|
||||
- `N8N_BASE_URL` - Base URL
