Consume Summa API (v.0.1.7)

Actions182

Overview

This node, named "Summa," is designed to interact with the Summa API (version indicated dynamically). It supports multiple resources and operations, including managing IMSI-related data. Specifically, for the IMSI resource with the "Set Roaming Profile" operation, the node allows users to update or assign a roaming profile to a given IMSI number. This is useful in telecommunications scenarios where subscriber identity modules (SIMs) need their roaming capabilities configured or modified remotely.

Practical examples include:

  • Updating roaming profiles for subscribers when they change service plans.
  • Automating roaming profile assignments during SIM provisioning.
  • Managing roaming settings in bulk for network operators.

Properties

Name Meaning
Imsi The IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) string identifying the subscriber.
Roaming Profile The roaming profile to assign to the specified IMSI. This defines roaming permissions or settings.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the "Set Roaming Profile" operation on the IMSI resource. This typically includes confirmation of the update, status messages, or any relevant metadata returned by the Summa API about the roaming profile assignment.

If the node supports binary data output, it would relate to any files or attachments returned by the API, but based on the provided code and context, the primary output is structured JSON reflecting the operation's outcome.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Summa API via an API key credential.
  • The node depends on internal helper classes for HTTP requests, state management, and operation resolution.
  • Proper configuration of the API credentials within n8n is necessary for authentication.
  • No additional external services beyond the Summa API are required.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Invalid or missing IMSI value: Ensure the IMSI string is correctly formatted and provided.
    • Incorrect roaming profile name: Verify that the roaming profile exists and is valid within the Summa system.
    • Authentication failures: Check that the API key credential is correctly set up and has necessary permissions.
    • Network connectivity problems: Confirm that the n8n instance can reach the Summa API endpoint.
  • Error Messages:

    • Authentication errors typically indicate invalid or expired API credentials.
    • Validation errors may occur if required properties like IMSI or roaming profile are missing or malformed.
    • API response errors might reflect backend issues or incorrect operation parameters; reviewing the API documentation or logs can help resolve these.
