How to find all options for credentialTypeName

[davyp]

Hello,

I’m trying to dynamically create credentials using the N8N core node.

The following endpoints seem relevant:

• Create a credential
• Get a schema

However, both require credential type names that are hard to identify. I tried using the node IDs from the documentation, but they don’t seem to work:

• Microsoft Outlook node documentation | n8n Docs
• Microsoft Teams node documentation | n8n Docs

I couldn’t find a reference list of valid credential type names. Do you have one?

Here are some tests I ran:
n8nApi
githubApi
notionApi
slackOAuth2Api
slackApi
freshdeskApi
microsoftOutlookApi
microsoftoutlookApi
outlookApi

Thanks in advance!

There is no list, it’s completely dynamic

You can find the proper type for eah credential in the corresponsive node file, e.g. for Microsoft Outlook API it would be microsoftOutlookOAuth2Api

Oh right, I completely missed the source code—thanks for the heads-up!
