NamecheapInstall

Overview

This node integrates with the Namecheap API to manage SSL certificates among other resources. Specifically, the "Get Approver Email List" operation under the SSL resource retrieves a list of email addresses that can be used to approve an SSL certificate activation request. This is useful when automating SSL certificate management workflows, such as activating or renewing certificates, where you need to programmatically obtain valid approver emails for domain validation.

Practical examples include:

• Automatically fetching approver emails before initiating SSL certificate activation.
• Integrating with notification systems to alert approvers.
• Streamlining SSL certificate lifecycle management in automated deployment pipelines.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data structured as follows:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    /* The response from the Namecheap API containing the list of approver emails */
  }
}

• success: A boolean indicating whether the API call was successful.
• data: Contains the actual list of approver emails returned by the API for the specified certificate ID.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

• Requires an active connection to the Namecheap API.
• Needs an API authentication token or key configured in n8n credentials (referred generically as "an API key credential").
• Network access to the Namecheap API endpoints.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Invalid or missing Certificate ID will cause the API call to fail.
  • Network connectivity problems may prevent reaching the Namecheap API.
  • Insufficient permissions or invalid API credentials will result in authorization errors.

• Error messages:

  • "The operation "getApproverEmailList" is not known for resource "ssl"!" indicates a misconfiguration or typo in the operation name.
  • API errors returned from Namecheap will be included in the error message; ensure the certificate ID exists and the API key has proper permissions.

• Resolution tips:

  • Verify the Certificate ID is correct and corresponds to an existing SSL certificate.
  • Check that the API key credential is properly set up and has necessary permissions.
  • Ensure network connectivity to the Namecheap API.
  • Use the node's "continue on fail" option to handle errors gracefully in workflows.
