Overview

This node allows you to interact with the Kobana API, specifically for managing administrative certificates when using the Admin > Certificates resource with the Create operation. It enables creating new certificate entries by sending a JSON request body to the Kobana API.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include automating certificate management tasks such as adding new certificates in bulk or integrating certificate creation into larger workflows that require secure communications or identity verification.

For example, you might use this node to programmatically add SSL/TLS certificates or other digital certificates required for your organization's infrastructure, triggered automatically when new services are deployed.

Properties

Name Meaning
Request Body The JSON object representing the certificate data to be created. This is required.
Additional Fields Optional JSON object with extra fields to customize the request further if needed.

The Request Body property must contain all necessary certificate details formatted as JSON according to the Kobana API specification.

Output

The node outputs the JSON response from the Kobana API after creating the certificate. This typically includes details of the newly created certificate such as its ID, status, and metadata returned by the API.

If the API supports binary data for certificates (e.g., certificate files), it would be included in the output; however, based on the static analysis, this node primarily handles JSON responses.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Kobana API.
  • The node dynamically selects the API base URL depending on the environment (production or sandbox).
  • No additional external dependencies are indicated.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid JSON in Request Body: If the JSON provided in the "Request Body" field is malformed, the node will throw a parsing error. Ensure the JSON syntax is correct.
  • Authentication Errors: If the API key credential is missing or invalid, requests will fail. Verify that the API key is correctly configured in n8n credentials.
  • API Endpoint Errors: Incorrect or incomplete certificate data may cause the API to reject the request. Consult the Kobana API documentation for required fields.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems to the Kobana API endpoints can cause timeouts or failures. Check network access and firewall settings.
