n8n-nodes-threatdown

An n8n community node for the ThreatDown Nebula API by Malwarebytes.

The node appears in n8n as Threatdown (Malwarebytes) and uses OAuth2 client credentials to call ThreatDown endpoints for detections, endpoints, exclusions, jobs, policies, reports, webhooks, usage, users, and related Nebula resources.

Installation

Install this package as an n8n community node:

npm install n8n-nodes-threatdown

For self-hosted n8n, you can also install it from Settings > Community Nodes using the package name n8n-nodes-threatdown.

Credentials

Create a Threatdown (Malwarebytes) OAuth2 API credential in n8n.

Required values:

• Client ID
• Client Secret
• ThreatDown Nebula Account ID

Optional values:

• Base URL, defaulting to https://api.malwarebytes.com
• Scope, defaulting to read write execute

The credential requests tokens from https://api.malwarebytes.com/oauth2/token using the OAuth2 client credentials grant. The Account ID is sent as the accountid header on API calls that require it.

Operations

This package exposes 181 ThreatDown Nebula API operations. The OAuth token route is intentionally handled by the credential and is not exposed as a normal node operation.

Each operation includes:

• Resource and operation dropdowns
• Path and query parameter fields
• JSON body fields for endpoints that accept a body
• n8n item linking and continue-on-fail handling

OpenAPI Source

The operation catalog was generated from the ThreatDown OpenAPI document used during development. The OpenAPI document itself is intentionally not committed to this repository.

If you need to regenerate the operation catalog, place the OpenAPI file at openapi/MalwareBytes.json locally, then run:

npm run generate:operations

The openapi/ folder is ignored by git.

Development

Install dependencies:

npm install

Run checks:

npm run lint
npm run build

Run a local n8n instance with this node loaded:

npm run dev

Publishing

This repository includes GitHub Actions workflows for CI and npm publishing with provenance, following n8n's community-node guidance for Creator Portal verification.

Before the first publish, configure one of these npm authentication paths:

• Recommended: add a trusted publisher on npmjs.com for kboykov/n8n-nodes-threatdown with workflow filename publish.yml.
• Fallback: add a GitHub Actions secret named NPM_TOKEN containing an npm automation token with publish access.

To release:

npm run release

The release command bumps the package version, commits, tags, and pushes. A version tag triggers the publish workflow.
