Overview

This node operation retrieves details of a specific API key by its unique identifier. It is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch and review the configuration or metadata of an existing API key, for example, to verify permissions, expiration, or usage statistics.

Practical examples include:

  • Auditing API keys in your system.
  • Displaying API key information before performing updates or deletions.
  • Integrating with external systems that require validation of API keys.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id The unique numeric identifier of the API key to retrieve.

Output

The output JSON contains the detailed information about the requested API key. This typically includes fields such as the API key's ID, creation date, associated user or service, permissions, and status. The exact structure depends on the external API's response schema.

No binary data output is expected from this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API authentication token or API key credential configured in n8n to authorize requests.
  • Depends on connectivity to the external service managing the API keys.
  • The base URL and request headers are preset to interact with the relevant API endpoint.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Providing an invalid or non-existent API key ID will likely result in an error or empty response.
    • Missing or incorrect API authentication credentials can cause authorization failures.
    • Network connectivity problems may prevent successful API calls.
  • Error messages:

    • "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed": Check that the API authentication token is correctly configured and valid.
    • "Not Found" or similar: Verify that the provided API key ID exists.
    • Timeout or network errors: Ensure stable internet connection and that the external API service is reachable.

Links and References

  • Refer to the external API documentation for detailed information on the API key resource and its fields.
  • Consult n8n documentation on how to configure API credentials and handle HTTP request nodes.
