I am getting failed request for the last few days for me. But interestingly the same request work on API Testing tool.

Here is the error in HTTP Node

Hi,

All my workflows were working normally and suddenly I get the following error:

“Error: connect ETIMEDOUT 162.240.79.212:443\n at Function.AxiosError.from (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/n8n/node_modules/.pnpm/axios@1.8.3/node_modules/axios/lib/core/AxiosError.js:92:14)\n at RedirectableRequest.handleRequestError (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/n8n/node_modules/.pnpm/axios@1.8.3/node_modules/axios/lib/adapters/http.js:620:25)\n at RedirectableRequest.emit (node:events:530:35)\n at ClientRequest.eventHandlers.

If anyone knows how to fix this we would greatly appreciate it.

It looks like this may just be a timeout setting in the HTTP Request node. By default it’s fairly low, so if the API takes a bit longer, n8n will throw the ETIMEDOUT error.

Have you tried increasing the Timeout value in the node settings to be higher than the API’s average response time?

I dint try that, but it was evently got solved by itself.
