Interact with Kobana API - Quick access to common operations

Actions215

Overview

This node provides integration with the Kobana API, enabling users to perform various administrative and transactional operations programmatically. Specifically, for the Admin > Subaccounts resource with the Get operation, it allows retrieving detailed information about a specific subaccount by its unique ID.

This functionality is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch configuration or status details of subaccounts managed within the Kobana platform, such as for auditing, reporting, or synchronization purposes.

Practical example:

  • Retrieve the details of a subaccount to verify its settings before performing further actions like updates or billing operations.
  • Use the retrieved data to display subaccount information in a custom dashboard or workflow.

Properties

Name Meaning
ID The unique identifier of the subaccount to retrieve. This is a required string input.

Output

The node outputs the JSON response from the Kobana API corresponding to the requested subaccount. The output structure reflects the subaccount's properties as returned by the API, which typically includes identifiers, configuration details, status, and metadata related to the subaccount.

If the API supports binary data for this resource (not indicated here), the node would handle it accordingly, but for the "Get" operation on Admin > Subaccounts, the output is purely JSON.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active Kobana API credential configured in n8n, providing necessary authentication tokens or API keys.
  • The node dynamically selects the API base URL depending on the environment (production or sandbox).
  • No additional external dependencies are needed beyond the Kobana API access.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing subaccount ID: The node requires a valid ID; ensure the ID is correct and exists in your Kobana account.
    • Authentication errors: Verify that the Kobana API credentials are correctly set up and have sufficient permissions.
    • Network or API downtime: Check connectivity and Kobana service status if requests fail unexpectedly.
  • Error messages:

    • "Resource not found" or similar indicates the provided ID does not correspond to any existing subaccount.
    • "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed" suggests issues with the API credentials.
    • JSON parsing errors may occur if the input body or parameters are malformed (less relevant for the Get operation).

To resolve these, double-check the input ID, confirm credential validity, and consult Kobana API documentation or support for service status.
