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 related to telecommunications data management. Specifically, for the LTE Subscription resource and the Set APN Assignations To LTE Subscription operation, the node allows users to update or assign Access Point Name (APN) configurations to a given LTE subscription identified by its IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity).

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Managing mobile network subscriber configurations programmatically.
  • Automating the assignment or update of APN settings for LTE subscribers in bulk or as part of a workflow.
  • Integrating telecom backend systems with external automation platforms like n8n.

Practical example:

  • A telecom operator wants to update the APN assignations for a specific LTE subscriber after a plan change or troubleshooting connectivity issues. Using this node, they can input the subscriber's IMSI and the new APN assignations string to apply the changes via the Summa API.

Properties

Name Meaning
Imsi The International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) uniquely identifying the LTE subscription to modify. This is a required string input.
Apn Assignations The APN assignations string that defines the Access Point Names to be set for the LTE subscription. This is a required string input.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the Summa API after attempting to set the APN assignations on the specified LTE subscription. The exact structure depends on the API response but typically includes confirmation of success, updated subscription details, or error information.

If the node handles binary data, it would relate to any file or media content returned by the API, but based on the provided code and operation, the output is expected to be purely JSON.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Summa API, authenticated via an API key credential configured in n8n.
  • Uses internal helper classes for HTTP requests, state management, and operation resolution/execution.
  • No additional external services beyond the Summa API are needed.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Invalid or missing IMSI value: The node requires a valid IMSI string; ensure it is correctly formatted and corresponds to an existing LTE subscription.
    • Incorrect APN assignations format: The APN assignations string must conform to the expected format defined by the Summa API.
    • Authentication failures: Ensure the API key credential is correctly set up and has sufficient permissions.
    • Network or API endpoint errors: Verify network connectivity and that the Summa API service is reachable.
  • Error Messages:

    • Authentication errors typically indicate invalid credentials; reconfigure the API key.
    • Validation errors from the API may specify which input parameter is incorrect.
    • Timeout or connection errors suggest network issues or API downtime.

Resolving these usually involves verifying input parameters, checking credential validity, and ensuring network access.
