Consume Summa API (v.0.1.7)

Actions182

Overview

This node, named "Summa," integrates with the Summa API to perform various operations related to telecommunications data. Specifically, for the LTE Subscription resource and the Get EDRX Cycle Lengths operation, it retrieves information about the EDRX (Extended Discontinuous Reception) cycle lengths associated with a given LTE subscription identified by an IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity).

This node is useful in scenarios where telecom operators or service providers need to query detailed LTE subscription parameters programmatically, such as monitoring device power-saving configurations or optimizing network resource allocation.

Example use case:
A network engineer wants to fetch the EDRX cycle lengths for a specific subscriber's LTE connection to analyze device sleep intervals and improve battery life estimations.

Properties

Name Meaning
Imsi The International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) string identifying the LTE subscription for which to retrieve EDRX cycle lengths. This is a required input.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the EDRX cycle length details for the specified LTE subscription. The exact structure depends on the Summa API response but typically includes fields describing the cycle lengths and related parameters.

If the node supports binary data output, it would represent any non-JSON payloads returned by the API; however, based on the provided code and context, the output is primarily JSON.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Summa API via an API key credential configured in n8n.
  • The node uses an HTTP client internally to communicate with the Summa backend services.
  • Proper configuration of the Summa API credentials within n8n is necessary for authentication and authorization.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid IMSI: Since IMSI is required, omitting it or providing an incorrect value will likely cause errors or empty responses. Ensure the IMSI is correctly formatted and valid.
  • Authentication failures: If the API key credential is missing, expired, or invalid, the node will fail to authenticate with the Summa API. Verify the credential setup in n8n.
  • Network issues: Connectivity problems between n8n and the Summa API endpoint can cause request timeouts or failures. Check network access and proxy settings if applicable.
  • API errors: The Summa API might return error messages for unsupported IMSIs or internal server errors. Review the error details and consult Summa API documentation for resolution steps.
