FAQPage Schema
How do I manage n8n workflows via the REST API?▼

Automating n8n workflows via REST API uses endpoints under /api/v1 to create, retrieve, update, delete, and trigger workflow executions. Authentication requires passing your API key in the X-N8N-API-KEY header.

Can I automate n8n credential provisioning through API calls?▼

Yes, automating n8n credential provisioning is possible via REST API endpoints. You can programmatically create and manage credentials, enabling automated onboarding workflows that provision credentials and start executions on demand without manual intervention.

What do I need to trigger n8n executions remotely?▼

Triggering n8n executions remotely requires setting the N8N_API_KEY and N8N_HOST environment variables. You send requests to /api/v1 endpoints using the X-N8N-API-KEY header for authentication to start workflow runs.

Does n8n API support retrieving execution history and tags?▼

The n8n REST API supports retrieving execution history and managing tags via endpoints under /api/v1. You can list past executions, apply tags to workflows for organization, and fetch execution details programmatically using API key authentication.

How to list active workflows on my n8n instance using an API key?▼

To list active workflows, configure your N8N_API_KEY and N8N_HOST environment variables, then send a GET request to the /api/v1/workflows endpoint with the X-N8N-API-KEY header. This retrieves all workflows managed by your n8n deployment.
