Error in the N8N API itself

Hi everyone, good evening. I’m a beginner, and I can’t create an API for my N8N. I generate the token, but when it comes time to create the credentials, it just keeps spinning and doesn’t finish, always giving this error afterwards. I’m referring to the N8N API itself.

What is the error message (if any)?

Problem in node ‘n8n‘

The connection timed out, consider setting the ‘Retry on Fail’ option in the node settings

Hey @Bruce.Whayne Welcome to the community.

Hard to say but first thing I’d check is the Base URL for the n8n credential. My assumption is it might be a connection problem. Are you on a self hosted setup?
