# Phase 6 Plan 1: n8n API Access Summary
|
||||
|
||||
**Verified n8n REST API v1 access with full CRUD capabilities for Docker Manager Bot workflow (96 nodes)**
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance
|
||||
|
||||
- **Duration:** 2 min
|
||||
- **Started:** 2026-02-03T13:14:34Z
|
||||
- **Completed:** 2026-02-03T13:16:09Z
|
||||
- **Tasks:** 2 (1 checkpoint, 1 auto)
|
||||
- **Files modified:** 2
|
||||
|
||||
## Accomplishments
|
||||
- n8n API authentication verified against https://api.bergerhouse.net
|
||||
- Full workflow read capability confirmed (Docker Manager Bot - 96 nodes)
|
||||
- Workflow update capability tested with no-op PUT (updatedAt: 2026-02-03T13:15:35.015Z)
|
||||
- Execution history access verified (5 recent successful runs retrieved)
|
||||
- API credentials secured in gitignored .env.n8n-api file
|
||||
|
||||
## Task Commits
|
||||
|
||||
Each task was committed atomically:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Task 1: Create n8n API Key** - *(checkpoint:human-action - user provided credentials)*
|
||||
2. **Task 2: Verify API Access and Document Commands** - `7e85697` (feat)
|
||||
|
||||
**Plan metadata:** *(to be committed with this summary)*
|
||||
|
||||
## Files Created/Modified
|
||||
- `.env.n8n-api` - n8n API credentials (N8N_HOST, N8N_API_KEY) - gitignored
|
||||
- `.gitignore` - Protects .env.n8n-api from version control
|
||||
|
||||
## Decisions Made
|
||||
|
||||
**n8n API Key Configuration:**
|
||||
- Created with label "Claude Code" for traceability
|
||||
- Set to "never expire" for development convenience
|
||||
- Rationale: Development environment on private network, rotation not critical
|
||||
|
||||
**Credential Storage:**
|
||||
- Chose .env.n8n-api filename (specific, not generic .env)
|
||||
- Rationale: Clear purpose, won't conflict with future env files
|
||||
|
||||
## Deviations from Plan
|
||||
|
||||
None - plan executed exactly as written.
|
||||
|
||||
## Issues Encountered
|
||||
|
||||
**Bash output suppression:** Initial curl commands with piped jq had no visible output. Resolved by saving curl output to temp files first, then reading with jq.
|
||||
|
||||
## Authentication Gates
|
||||
|
||||
Task 1 required human action (checkpoint:human-action):
|
||||
- **Gate:** n8n API key creation - first API key must be created through web UI
|
||||
- **User action:** Created API key via n8n Settings > n8n API
|
||||
- **Credentials provided:** N8N_HOST and N8N_API_KEY
|
||||
- **Resumed:** Task 2 verified all 4 API requirements successfully
|
||||
|
||||
## Verified API Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
All 4 requirements met:
|
||||
|
||||
**API-01: Authentication** ✓
|
||||
- curl GET /api/v1/workflows returned 200 with workflow list
|
||||
- X-N8N-API-KEY header accepted
|
||||
|
||||
**API-02: Read Workflow** ✓
|
||||
- Retrieved Docker Manager Bot workflow (ID: HmiXBlJefBRPMS0m4iNYc)
|
||||
- Full workflow JSON with 96 nodes returned
|
||||
|
||||
**API-03: Update Workflow** ✓
|
||||
- PUT /api/v1/workflows/{id} successful
|
||||
- updatedAt timestamp changed: 2026-02-03T13:15:35.015Z
|
||||
|
||||
**API-04: Execution History** ✓
|
||||
- Retrieved 5 recent executions
|
||||
- Status and timestamps accessible (all success status)
|
||||
|
||||
## Next Phase Readiness
|
||||
|
||||
**Ready for Phase 7 (Socket Security):**
|
||||
- n8n API access fully functional
|
||||
- Workflow ID identified: HmiXBlJefBRPMS0m4iNYc
|
||||
- CRUD operations verified
|
||||
- Execution monitoring capability confirmed
|
||||
|
||||
**No blockers** - all future phases can programmatically modify the n8n workflow via API instead of manual UI changes.
