Interact with Kobana API - Quick access to common operations

Overview

This node integrates with the Kobana API to manage customer subscriptions and other related resources. Specifically, for the V1 > Customer Subscriptions resource with the Get operation, it retrieves detailed information about a specific customer subscription by its unique ID.

Typical use cases include:

  • Fetching subscription details to display or process in workflows.
  • Verifying subscription status before performing billing or service actions.
  • Integrating subscription data into CRM or billing systems.

For example, you might use this node to get the current status and details of a customer's subscription to decide whether to trigger a renewal reminder or update internal records.

Properties

Name Meaning
ID The unique identifier of the customer subscription to retrieve. This is required to specify which subscription's details to fetch.

Output

The node outputs a JSON object representing the customer subscription data retrieved from the Kobana API. This typically includes all relevant fields describing the subscription such as its status, start date, plan details, customer association, and any metadata provided by the API.

The output is structured as an array of JSON objects (usually containing one object for the single subscription requested), suitable for further processing in n8n workflows.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Kobana API via an API key credential configured in n8n.
  • The node dynamically selects the API base URL depending on the environment (production or sandbox).
  • Proper permissions on the API key are necessary to access customer subscription data.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing subscription ID will cause the API request to fail.
    • Incorrect or expired API credentials will result in authentication errors.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent reaching the Kobana API endpoint.
  • Error messages:

    • "Resource not found" or similar indicates the specified subscription ID does not exist.
    • "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed" means the API key is invalid or lacks permission.
    • JSON parsing errors may occur if the input body parameters are malformed (not applicable for Get operation but relevant for others).
  • Resolutions:

    • Verify the subscription ID is correct and exists in the Kobana system.
    • Check that the API key credential is valid and has appropriate access rights.
    • Ensure network connectivity and that the correct environment (sandbox vs production) is selected.
