Consume Summa API (v.0.1.7)

Overview

The node named "Summa" is designed to interact with the Summa API, specifically supporting various telecommunication-related resources and operations. For the HLR Subscription resource with the Set PDPs operation, this node allows users to configure Packet Data Protocol (PDP) contexts for a subscriber identified by their IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity). This is useful in scenarios where network operators or service providers need to update or set data session parameters on a subscriber's profile within the Home Location Register (HLR).

Practical examples include:

  • Setting multiple PDP contexts for a mobile subscriber to enable different types of data services.
  • Sending raw JSON data to configure PDPs directly if advanced customization is needed.
  • Managing subscriber data sessions programmatically as part of automated workflows in telecom management.

Properties

Name Meaning
Imsi The IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) of the subscriber whose PDPs are set.
Send Json Boolean flag indicating whether to send raw JSON data (true) or use structured PDP templates (false).
Json Data Raw JSON data representing PDP configurations; required if "Send Json" is true.
Pdp Templates A collection of PDP template values; used when "Send Json" is false to define PDPs in a structured way.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the Summa API after attempting to set the PDPs for the specified IMSI. This typically includes status information about the operation, such as success confirmation or error details.

If binary data were involved (not indicated here), it would represent files or media related to the operation, but this node focuses on JSON responses only.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Summa API.
  • Uses an HTTP client internally to communicate with the Summa backend.
  • Needs proper configuration of the Summa API credentials within n8n.
  • Relies on the Summa API version defined in the node (version referenced in the description).

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:
    • Invalid or missing IMSI value will cause the operation to fail.
    • Incorrect JSON format when "Send Json" is enabled can lead to parsing errors.
    • Network or authentication failures due to invalid API credentials.
  • Error messages:
    • Authentication errors indicate problems with the provided API key; verify and re-enter credentials.
    • Validation errors may occur if required fields are missing or incorrectly formatted.
    • API response errors should be checked against Summa API documentation for specific codes and messages.
