n8n Custom Integration for the Veeam Data Platform

This custom n8n integration provides n8n nodes that use a custom credential configuration to generate Bearer tokens via the Password Grant method for Veeam Backup & Replication and Veeam ONE REST APIs.

Features

• Custom Credential Type
  • Stores the Veeam Backup & Replication or the Veeam ONE REST API endpoint, API Revision level, authentication details, and SSL validation options
• OAuth Token Node
  • Handles the Bearer token creation and passes the token and other details for further usage
• Seamless Integration
  • Generated Bearer token and API details are accessible in HTTP Request nodes

Installation

1. Install the npm package
2. Set the environment variable to the custom extensions path:

export N8N_CUSTOM_EXTENSIONS=

~/.n8n/custom/
├── credentials/
│   ├── VeeamDataPlatform.credentials.js
│   └── VeeamDataPlatform.credentials.png
└── nodes/
   └── VeeamToken.node.js
   └── VeeamONEToken.node.js
   └── bearer.png

3. Restart Restart n8n to load the custom node.

Credentials

1. In n8n, create a new credential of type “Veeam Data Platofrm”

2. Configure the following fields:

   • Give the credential a name that refers to your endpoint (top left corner)
   • URL: Your Veeam B&R server endpoint (e.g., https://vbr-server:9419 - Veeam ONE https://vone-server:1239)
   • API Version: API version (e.g., 1.3-rev1 for Veeam Backup & Replication or v2.3 for Veeeam ONE)
   • Username: Your username
   • Password: Your password
   • Ignore SSL Errors: Enable for self-signed certificates

3. Create a new workflow

4. Add the "Veeam Get Access Token" or "Veeam ONE get Access Token" node to your workflow

5. Select your configured credential and click 'Execute step' to check if a Bearer token can be retrieved

6. The node will output the access token, URL, and API version for use in the follwing nodes.

• {{$json.access_token}} // Bearer token
• {{$json.url}} // API base URL
