Overview

This node integrates with the Namecheap API to manage SSL certificates among other resources. Specifically, the "Get Info" operation under the "SSL" resource retrieves detailed information about a particular SSL certificate by its ID. This is useful for users who want to programmatically check the status, details, or metadata of their SSL certificates managed via Namecheap.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically fetching SSL certificate details to monitor expiration dates.
  • Integrating SSL certificate info retrieval into workflows that audit or report on website security.
  • Using certificate data to trigger renewal or reissue processes based on current certificate status.

Properties

Name Meaning
Certificate ID The unique identifier of the SSL certificate to retrieve information for. This is required to specify which certificate's details to fetch.

Output

The node outputs a JSON object with the following structure:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    /* Detailed information about the SSL certificate as returned by the Namecheap API */
  }
}
  • success: A boolean indicating whether the operation was successful.
  • data: Contains the detailed SSL certificate information retrieved from Namecheap. The exact fields depend on the API response but typically include certificate status, expiration date, domain names covered, and other metadata.

No binary data output is indicated for 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 Namecheap's API endpoints.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing Certificate ID: The operation requires a valid certificate ID; ensure it is correctly provided.
    • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly set up and has sufficient permissions.
    • Network connectivity problems: Ensure that the n8n instance can reach Namecheap's API servers.

  • Error messages:

    • "The operation "getInfo" is not known for resource "ssl"!" — This indicates a misconfiguration or typo in the operation name.
    • Errors related to invalid certificate ID or not found will come from the API; verify the ID correctness.
    • If the node throws an error about unknown resource or operation, double-check the selected resource and operation parameters.
