Passwork

Interact with Passwork API

Actions9

Overview

This node interacts with the Passwork API to retrieve password information stored in a Passwork vault. Specifically, the "Get" operation under the "Password" resource fetches details of a single password entry by its unique identifier. This is useful for workflows that need to access secure credentials programmatically, such as automating deployment scripts, integrating with other systems requiring secrets, or auditing password data.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically retrieving database passwords during CI/CD pipeline execution.
  • Fetching API keys stored in Passwork to authenticate external services.
  • Extracting password metadata for reporting or compliance checks.

Properties

Name Meaning
Password ID The unique identifier of the password entry to retrieve from Passwork.
Raw Result Whether to return the full raw API response (true) or just the processed password data (false).

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the password entry retrieved from Passwork. This typically includes fields such as the password itself, associated metadata (e.g., name, description, creation date), and possibly related attachments or tags depending on the API response.

If the "Raw Result" property is set to true, the output will contain the complete raw response from the Passwork API, which may include additional fields beyond the standard password data.

The node does not output binary data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Passwork API via an API key credential configured in n8n.
  • The base URL for the Passwork API must be provided in the credential configuration.
  • Network access to the Passwork server is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Password ID: If the provided Password ID does not exist or is malformed, the node will likely return an error indicating the resource was not found. Verify the ID is correct.
  • Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures. Ensure the API key credential is correctly set up and has sufficient permissions.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems to the Passwork server can cause timeouts or connection errors. Check network settings and firewall rules.
  • Raw Result Confusion: Enabling "Raw Result" returns the full API response, which might be more complex than expected. Disable it if only simplified password data is needed.
