Manage n8n workflows and automations via API. Use when working with n8n workflows, executions, or automation tasks - listing workflows, activating/deactivating, checking execution status, manually triggering workflows, or debugging automation issues.

Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Interact with n8n automation platform via REST API.
First-time setup: Install dependencies (virtual environment): cd skills/n8n-1.0.2 python3 -m venv .venv source .venv/bin/activate pip install -r requirements.txt Configure environment variables in ~/.zshrc (or ~/.bashrc): export N8N_API_KEY="your-api-key-here" export N8N_BASE_URL="https://your-n8n-instance.com" Reload shell and verify connection: source ~/.zshrc ./skills/n8n-1.0.2/scripts/n8n.sh list-workflows --pretty Tip: Get your API key from n8n UI: Settings โ API
./scripts/n8n.sh list-workflows --pretty ./scripts/n8n.sh list-workflows --active true --pretty
./scripts/n8n.sh get-workflow --id <workflow-id> --pretty
./scripts/n8n.sh activate --id <workflow-id> ./scripts/n8n.sh deactivate --id <workflow-id>
# List recent executions ./scripts/n8n.sh list-executions --limit 10 --pretty # Get execution details ./scripts/n8n.sh get-execution --id <execution-id> --pretty # Filter by workflow ./scripts/n8n.sh list-executions --id <workflow-id> --limit 20 --pretty
# Trigger workflow ./scripts/n8n.sh execute --id <workflow-id> # With data ./scripts/n8n.sh execute --id <workflow-id> --data '{"key": "value"}'
For programmatic access: from scripts.n8n_api import N8nClient client = N8nClient() # List workflows workflows = client.list_workflows(active=True) # Get workflow workflow = client.get_workflow('workflow-id') # Activate/deactivate client.activate_workflow('workflow-id') client.deactivate_workflow('workflow-id') # Executions executions = client.list_executions(workflow_id='workflow-id', limit=10) execution = client.get_execution('execution-id') # Execute workflow result = client.execute_workflow('workflow-id', data={'key': 'value'})
List recent executions with failures Get execution details to see error Check workflow configuration Deactivate if needed
List active workflows Check recent execution status Review error patterns
List all workflows Review active/inactive status Activate/deactivate as needed Delete old workflows
For detailed API documentation, see references/api.md.
Authentication error: Verify N8N_API_KEY is set: echo $N8N_API_KEY Check API key is valid in n8n UI Connection error: Check N8N_BASE_URL if using custom URL Command errors: Use --pretty flag for readable output Check --id is provided when required Validate JSON format for --data parameter
