Consume Summa API (v.0.1.7)

Actions182

Overview

The node named "Summa" is designed to interact with the Summa API, specifically supporting various telecommunications-related operations. For the resource IMSI and operation Activate IMSI, this node activates a given IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) in the system via the Summa API.

This node is beneficial in scenarios where telecom operators or service providers need to programmatically manage subscriber identities, such as activating a new SIM card or enabling subscriber services linked to an IMSI. For example, when onboarding a new mobile subscriber, this node can be used to activate their IMSI automatically as part of the provisioning workflow.

Properties

Name Meaning
Imsi The IMSI string value to be activated. This is a required input for the activation operation.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the Summa API after attempting to activate the IMSI. The exact structure depends on the API's response but typically includes status information about the activation request, success or error messages, and possibly details about the IMSI state post-activation.

No binary data output is indicated by the source code.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Summa API.
  • Uses an HTTP client internally to send requests to the Summa backend.
  • The node depends on the external Summa API service being available and reachable.
  • Requires proper configuration of the API credentials within n8n.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing IMSI value will cause the activation to fail.
    • Authentication errors if the API key credential is incorrect or expired.
    • Network connectivity problems preventing access to the Summa API endpoint.
    • API rate limits or quota exceeded errors from the Summa service.
  • Error messages:

    • Authentication failures usually indicate invalid credentials; verify and update the API key.
    • Validation errors related to IMSI format require checking the input IMSI string.
    • Timeout or connection errors suggest network issues or API downtime; retry later or check network settings.
