Credentials

To authenticate with QUI you need:

2. API Key – A 64-character lowercase hexadecimal API key.

To obtain an API key:

• Log in to your QUI instance.
• Navigate to Settings → API Keys (or use the API Keys resource in this node to create one programmatically).
• Copy the generated key and paste it into the credential.

The key is sent as the X-API-Key header on every request.

Compatibility

Tested against n8n version 2.8+. It should be compatible with 1.x as well but is untested.
