Consume Summa API (v.0.1.7)

Actions182

Overview

The node named "Summa" is designed to interact with the Summa API, specifically versioned as indicated in its description. It supports multiple resources and operations related to telecommunications data management, including HLR (Home Location Register) subscriptions.

For the HLR Subscription resource and the Get HLR Regional Subscription operation, this node retrieves regional subscription information based on an IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) value provided by the user. This can be useful in scenarios where a user or system needs to query detailed subscriber location or status information from the HLR database for telecom services.

Practical examples include:

  • Telecom operators verifying subscriber regional data for routing or billing.
  • Systems performing fraud detection or subscriber validation.
  • Customer support tools fetching subscriber details to assist users.

Properties

Name Meaning
Imsi The International Mobile Subscriber Identity string used to identify the subscriber whose HLR regional subscription data is being requested. This property is required for the operation.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the response from the Summa API regarding the HLR regional subscription associated with the provided IMSI. The exact structure depends on the API response but typically includes subscriber regional details such as location, subscription status, and other relevant metadata.

No binary data output is indicated in the source code or properties.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Summa API.
  • Uses an HTTP client internally to send requests to the Summa backend service.
  • The node depends on the @digital-boss/n8n-designpatterns package for resource-operation resolution and execution patterns.
  • Proper configuration of the Summa API credentials within n8n is necessary for successful operation.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid IMSI: Since IMSI is required, omitting it or providing an invalid format will likely cause errors or empty responses.
  • Authentication errors: If the API key credential is missing, expired, or incorrect, the node will fail to authenticate with the Summa API.
  • Network issues: Connectivity problems between n8n and the Summa API endpoint may result in timeouts or request failures.
  • API changes: Changes in the Summa API version or endpoints might cause unexpected errors; ensure the node and credentials are up to date.

Common error messages would relate to authentication failure, invalid parameters, or network timeouts. Resolving these involves verifying credentials, input correctness, and network connectivity.
