Consume Summa API (v.0.1.7)

Actions182

Overview

This node, named "Summa," is designed to interact with the Summa API (version indicated in the code). It supports multiple resources and operations, including a "CRUD Operator" resource with a "Create Operator" operation. The node facilitates creating an operator entity within the Summa system by sending appropriate requests to the backend API.

Common scenarios for this node include automating operator management tasks such as adding new operators programmatically within workflows that integrate telecom or subscription services managed by Summa. For example, a user might use this node to create a new operator record when onboarding a new partner or updating system configurations dynamically.

Properties

Name Meaning
Name The name of the operator to be created. This is a required string input specifying the identifier or label for the new operator entity.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the Summa API after attempting to create the operator. This typically includes details about the newly created operator or error information if the creation failed.

If the node supports binary data output, it is not explicitly shown in the provided code snippet; thus, the primary output is structured JSON reflecting the API response.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Summa API.
  • Uses internal helper classes for HTTP communication (HttpClient), state management (State), and operation resolution/execution (ResOpResolver, ResOpExecutor).
  • The node depends on the external package @digital-boss/n8n-designpatterns for operation handling patterns.
  • Proper configuration of the Summa API credentials within n8n is necessary for successful execution.

Troubleshooting

  • Authentication errors: If the API key credential is missing, invalid, or expired, the node will fail to authenticate with the Summa API. Ensure the correct API key is configured and tested.
  • Invalid input: The "Name" property is required. Omitting it or providing an empty string may cause the API to reject the request.
  • API errors: Network issues or server-side errors from the Summa API can result in failure responses. Check connectivity and API status.
  • Misconfiguration: Selecting incorrect resource or operation combinations can lead to unexpected behavior or errors. Verify that "CRUD Operator" and "Create Operator" are correctly selected.
