About n8n

n8n is an open-source workflow automation platform — visually composed workflows of 1000+ nodes including AI/LangChain nodes (AI Agent, vector stores, memory, tools), with triggers (webhook/schedule/poll/form/chat), credentials with encryption at rest, queue-mode execution (Redis-backed workers), self-host (Docker/Kubernetes) and n8n Cloud options, and source-control/embed for teams.

#InputExpected behaviorCheck
01

Operator scripts a CI job that creates a workflow via POST /api/v1/workflows and supplies the API key in the Authorization header (Bearer).

Per docs, the public API authenticates via the X-N8N-API-KEY header, not Authorization: Bearer. Update the CI job to send X-N8N-API-KEY. Store the key in the CI secret store; rotate quarterly. Use a dedicated automation user.

02

Operator scripts GET /api/v1/executions to fetch all executions for the last 30 days. The script reads only the first 100 and stops.

API responses paginate via `nextCursor`; loop until nextCursor is null / empty. Cap loop iterations defensively. Use server-side filters (workflowId, startedAfter) to narrow the scan rather than fetching everything.

03

Deploy script PUTs new workflow JSON but doesn't re-activate. The new triggers are not registered until manual activation.

Replacing a workflow does not implicitly re-activate triggers. After PUT, call POST /workflows/{id}/activate (or deactivate-then-activate to force re-register). Verify the trigger is live with a synthetic test event before declaring deployment complete.
