SummaInstall

Overview

This node integrates with the Summa API to perform various operations related to telecom data management. Specifically, for the "CRUD Operator" resource and the "Get Operator By ID" operation, it retrieves detailed information about a specific operator using its unique identifier. This is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch operator details for validation, reporting, or further processing within an automation workflow.

Practical examples include:

• Fetching operator metadata before provisioning services.
• Validating operator existence during subscriber onboarding.
• Integrating operator data into customer relationship management (CRM) systems.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the details of the requested operator. The structure typically includes fields such as operator name, code, status, and other relevant metadata as defined by the Summa API's response schema for an operator entity.

If the node supports binary data output, it would be used to represent any associated files or media related to the operator, but based on the provided code and context, the primary output is JSON-formatted operator information.

Dependencies

• Requires an active connection to the Summa API via an API key credential configured in n8n.
• Uses internal helper classes for HTTP requests, state management, and operation resolution.
• No additional external dependencies beyond the Summa API and its authentication.

Troubleshooting

• Common Issues:

  • Invalid or missing operator ID will result in errors or empty responses.
  • Authentication failures due to incorrect or expired API credentials.
  • Network connectivity issues preventing access to the Summa API endpoint.

• Error Messages:

  • "Operator not found": Verify that the provided ID is correct and exists in the system.
  • "Authentication failed": Check the API key credential configuration and renew if necessary.
  • Timeout or network errors: Ensure stable internet connection and that the Summa API service is reachable.

Resolving these typically involves verifying input parameters, refreshing credentials, and checking network settings.
