Install with your agent
Agent handoff
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
- Download the package from Yavira.
- Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
- Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
New install
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.
Upgrade existing
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.

n8n Public REST API
Use this skill when you need to drive n8n programmatically. It covers the same core actions you use in the UI: workflows, executions, tags, credentials, projects, and more.
Availability
The public API is unavailable during the free trial. Upgrade your plan to enable API access.
Configuration
Recommended environment variables (or store in .n8n-api-config): export N8N_API_BASE_URL="https://your-instance.app.n8n.cloud/api/v1" # or http://localhost:5678/api/v1 export N8N_API_KEY="your-api-key-here" Create the API key in: n8n Settings โ n8n API โ Create an API key.
Auth header
All requests require this header: X-N8N-API-KEY: $N8N_API_KEY
Playground
The API playground is only available on self-hosted n8n and operates on real data. For safe experiments, use a test workflow or a separate test instance.
Workflows: list
curl -s -H "X-N8N-API-KEY: $N8N_API_KEY" "$N8N_API_BASE_URL/workflows" \ | jq '.data[] | {id, name, active}'
Workflows: details
curl -s -H "X-N8N-API-KEY: $N8N_API_KEY" "$N8N_API_BASE_URL/workflows/{id}"
Workflows: activate or deactivate
# Activate (publish) curl -s -X POST -H "X-N8N-API-KEY: $N8N_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"versionId":"","name":"","description":""}' \ "$N8N_API_BASE_URL/workflows/{id}/activate" # Deactivate curl -s -X POST -H "X-N8N-API-KEY: $N8N_API_KEY" \ "$N8N_API_BASE_URL/workflows/{id}/deactivate"
Webhook trigger
# Production webhook curl -s -X POST "$N8N_API_BASE_URL/../webhook/{webhook-path}" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"key":"value"}' # Test webhook curl -s -X POST "$N8N_API_BASE_URL/../webhook-test/{webhook-path}" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"key":"value"}'
Executions: list
# Recent executions curl -s -H "X-N8N-API-KEY: $N8N_API_KEY" \ "$N8N_API_BASE_URL/executions?limit=10" \ | jq '.data[] | {id, workflowId, status, startedAt}' # Failed only curl -s -H "X-N8N-API-KEY: $N8N_API_KEY" \ "$N8N_API_BASE_URL/executions?status=error&limit=5"
Executions: retry
curl -s -X POST -H "X-N8N-API-KEY: $N8N_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"loadWorkflow":true}' \ "$N8N_API_BASE_URL/executions/{id}/retry"
Health check summary
Count active workflows and recent failures: ACTIVE=$(curl -s -H "X-N8N-API-KEY: $N8N_API_KEY" \ "$N8N_API_BASE_URL/workflows?active=true" | jq '.data | length') FAILED=$(curl -s -H "X-N8N-API-KEY: $N8N_API_KEY" \ "$N8N_API_BASE_URL/executions?status=error&limit=100" \ | jq '[.data[] | select(.startedAt > (now - 86400 | todate))] | length') echo "Active workflows: $ACTIVE | Failed (24h): $FAILED"
Debug a failed run
List failed executions to get the execution ID. Fetch execution details and identify the failing node. Review node parameters and input data. Suggest a fix based on the error message.
Endpoint index
See assets/n8n-api.endpoints.md for the full list of endpoints.
REST basics (optional)
If you want a refresher, these are commonly recommended: KnowledgeOwl: working with APIs (intro) IBM Cloud Learn Hub: what is an API / REST API MDN: overview of HTTP
Notes and tips
The n8n API node can call the public API from inside workflows. Webhook URLs are not the same as API URLs and do not use the API key header. Execution records may be pruned based on instance retention settings.
Category context
Code helpers, APIs, CLIs, browser automation, testing, and developer operations.
