I just dropped a new video where I share the story of how I sold my very first n8n automation back in 2024. What might shock you is how simple the system actually was. Looking back, I could probably rebuild it in 30 minutes today. But that’s the point, clients weren’t paying for a “complex workflow,” they were paying for the outcome. This was the first time I made money selling an automation, and it taught me something that’s even more true now: business owners don’t care how advanced the system looks, they care if it saves them time, money, or focus. And today, people are even more open to investing in solutions like this, as long as you can communicate value clearly and show you’re someone they can trust. Curious to hear your thoughts, does this change how you think about selling automations or agents?

Hi newby here. I'm hosting n8n on railway. I'm trying to use the API playground to test the get/users endpoint, and it's returning no data. I got the projectid from the railway dashboard, but I'm unsure if that is what n8n is looking for. I've got my api key plugged into the playground I think successfully, but the authorize box remains red, as a show in the screenshot, but not sure if that's the expected ui look?

For over a week I have been trying to figure out how to get the N8N API node to work. With the help of @James Walls, I got it figured out. I am self hosting with the starter kit. I went through all the documentation and tried everything it said and none of it worked. I ended up reaching out on here and found the answer. once you get your API Key, change the base URL to http://127.0.0.1:5678/api/v1. Which is similar to what the documentation said to do and what I found online. the problem was what i found online also said to remove the 5678. leave it as localhost. and a bunch of other ways. the documentation says you won't be able to get it working unless your not using the free plan. So to make it simple for those trying to figure this out also, I decided to make a post about it.Granted @Nate Herk mentioned i should lol. so here is a step by step on how to do it. 1. Goto settings/n8n API. 2. generate an API key. 3. Then open the n8n node click create credentials. 4. paste in your API Key. 5. change the base URL to HTTP://127.0.0.1:5678/api/v1 That should be it. If this helps anyone else I'll be happy
