Making requests to n8n rest endpoints

[Miguel_Caballero_Pin]

Hi there!

We have been using the endpoint rest/executions/{{EXECUTION_ID}}/retry to retry workflows using our own internal tools.

Since recent versions those endpoints require authentication. I could not find documentation on how to authenticate the requests so they are accepted, do you have such documentation? Any tips on how to achieve this?

Thanks!

Take a look at this. You’ll need to provide a JWT token now too

Credential unauthorized

I had to workaround this for my backup workflow. Some /rest endpoints now need a JWT in addition to basic auth. You’ll need to do a single auth request before this, then add a Cookie header in subsequent requests. The JWT expiry seems to be a week, so you should only have to do it once per workflow rather than before each request.
