+Enable Claude Code to programmatically access n8n workflows via REST API

+Purpose: Faster development iteration on all subsequent phases. Instead of manual n8n UI changes, Claude can read, modify, and verify workflows directly.

+
+
+
+
+
+ Task 1: Create n8n API Key
+
+ User must create an API key in n8n UI. This cannot be automated - first API key must be created through the web interface.
+
+
+ 1. Open n8n in your browser (e.g., http://192.168.1.x:5678)
+ 2. Go to Settings > n8n API
+ 3. Click "Create an API key"
+ 4. Set Label: "Claude Code"
+ 5. Set Expiration: "Never" (for development) or your preferred duration
+ 6. Copy the API key - it is shown ONCE and cannot be retrieved later
+ 7. Provide the following to continue:
+ - N8N_HOST: Your n8n URL (e.g., http://192.168.1.100:5678)
+ - N8N_API_KEY: The API key you just created (starts with n8n_api_)
+
+ Provide N8N_HOST and N8N_API_KEY values
+
+
+
+ Task 2: Verify API Access and Document Commands
+ .env.n8n-api
+
+ Using the provided N8N_HOST and N8N_API_KEY, verify all 4 API requirements:
+
+ 1. **API-01: Authentication** - Test that API key authenticates successfully
+ ```bash
+ curl -s -X GET "${N8N_HOST}/api/v1/workflows" \
+ -H "accept: application/json" \
+ -H "X-N8N-API-KEY: ${N8N_API_KEY}" | head -c 200
+ ```
+ Expected: JSON response with workflow data (not 401/403 error)
+
+ 2. **API-02: Read Workflow** - Retrieve current Telegram Docker Bot workflow
+ ```bash
+ # First, list workflows to find the ID
+ curl -s -X GET "${N8N_HOST}/api/v1/workflows" \
+ -H "accept: application/json" \
+ -H "X-N8N-API-KEY: ${N8N_API_KEY}" | jq '.data[] | {id, name}'
+
+ # Then fetch specific workflow
+ curl -s -X GET "${N8N_HOST}/api/v1/workflows/{WORKFLOW_ID}" \
+ -H "accept: application/json" \
+ -H "X-N8N-API-KEY: ${N8N_API_KEY}" | jq '.name, .nodes | length'
+ ```
+ Expected: Workflow name and node count returned
+
+ 3. **API-03: Update Workflow** - Test write access with a no-op update
+ ```bash
+ # Get current workflow, modify nothing substantive, push back
+ WORKFLOW=$(curl -s -X GET "${N8N_HOST}/api/v1/workflows/{WORKFLOW_ID}" \
+ -H "accept: application/json" \
+ -H "X-N8N-API-KEY: ${N8N_API_KEY}")
+
+ # PATCH with same nodes/connections (no-op update to verify write access)
+ echo "$WORKFLOW" | jq '{nodes: .nodes, connections: .connections}' | \
+ curl -s -X PATCH "${N8N_HOST}/api/v1/workflows/{WORKFLOW_ID}" \
+ -H "accept: application/json" \
+ -H "X-N8N-API-KEY: ${N8N_API_KEY}" \
+ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+ -d @- | jq '.updatedAt'
+ ```
+ Expected: Updated timestamp returned (workflow accepted the PATCH)
+
+ 4. **API-04: Execution History** - View recent workflow runs
+ ```bash
+ curl -s -X GET "${N8N_HOST}/api/v1/executions?workflowId={WORKFLOW_ID}&limit=5" \
+ -H "accept: application/json" \
+ -H "X-N8N-API-KEY: ${N8N_API_KEY}" | jq '.data[] | {id, status, startedAt}'
+ ```
+ Expected: Recent execution records with status (success/error/running)
+
+ After verification, create `.env.n8n-api` file (gitignored) with:
+ ```
+ N8N_HOST=
+ N8N_API_KEY=
+ ```
+
+ Also update `.gitignore` to include `.env.n8n-api` if not already present.
+
+
+ All 4 curl commands return successful JSON responses:
+ - GET /api/v1/workflows returns 200 with workflow list
+ - GET /api/v1/workflows/{id} returns 200 with full workflow JSON
+ - PATCH /api/v1/workflows/{id} returns 200 with updated timestamp
+ - GET /api/v1/executions returns 200 with execution records
+
+
+ - API-01: API key authenticates successfully (no 401/403)
+ - API-02: Can read full workflow JSON including nodes and connections
+ - API-03: Can push workflow changes (PATCH accepted, updatedAt changed)
+ - API-04: Can view execution history with status for each run
+ - .env.n8n-api created with credentials (gitignored)
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Run the 4 verification curl commands and confirm:
+1. Authentication works (no auth errors)
+2. Can read the Telegram Docker Bot workflow by ID
+3. Can update the workflow (even if just re-pushing same content)
+4. Can see execution history for recent bot interactions
+
+
+
+All 4 requirements verified with working curl commands:
+- API-01: n8n API key created and accessible (curl returns 200)
+- API-02: Claude Code can read workflow via API (full JSON retrieved)
+- API-03: Claude Code can update workflow via API (PATCH succeeds)
+- API-04: Claude Code can view execution history and logs (executions listed)
+
