Overview

This node operation allows you to delete (destroy) an API key by specifying its unique identifier. It is useful in scenarios where you need to revoke access or manage API keys programmatically, such as when rotating credentials for security purposes or cleaning up unused keys.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically removing API keys that are no longer needed.
  • Integrating API key management into automated workflows for security compliance.
  • Revoking compromised or expired API keys without manual intervention.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id The unique numeric identifier of the API key to be destroyed. This property is required to specify which API key should be deleted.

Output

The output will typically contain a JSON object indicating the result of the destroy operation. This may include confirmation of deletion or status information. No binary data output is expected from this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API authentication token or API key credential configured in n8n to authorize the request.
  • Depends on the external service's API endpoint that manages API keys.
  • Network connectivity to the API service is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Providing an invalid or non-existent API key ID will likely result in an error response.
    • Missing or incorrect API authentication credentials can cause authorization failures.
    • Network issues or API downtime may prevent successful execution.
  • Error messages and resolutions:

    • "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed": Verify that the API authentication token or credentials are correctly set up.
    • "API key not found" or similar: Confirm that the provided API key ID exists and is correct.
    • Timeout or network errors: Check network connectivity and API service status.

Links and References

  • Refer to the external API documentation for detailed information about API key management endpoints.
  • Consult n8n documentation on how to configure API credentials securely.
