Using API key#

To configure this credential, you'll need:

  • An API Secret: Generated with the API key.
  • Your ERPNext Environment:
    • For Cloud-hosted:
      • Your ERPNext Subdomain: Refer to the FAQs
      • Your Domain: Choose between erpnext.com and frappe.cloud.
    • For Self-hosted:
      • The fully qualified Domain where you host ERPNext
  • Choose whether to Ignore SSL Issues: When selected, n8n will connect even if SSL certificate validation is unavailable.

If you are an ERPNext System Manager, you can also generate API keys and secrets for other users. Refer to the ERPNext Adding Users documentation for more information.

How to find the subdomain of an ERPNext cloud-hosted account#

You can find your ERPNext subdomain by reviewing the address bar of your browser. The string between https:// and either .erpnext.com or frappe.cloud is your subdomain.

For example, if the URL in the address bar is https://n8n.erpnext.com, the subdomain is n8n.
