Authentication
This node uses the NZBHydra2 API credential. In n8n, go to Credentials → New, pick NZBHydra2 API, and fill in:
- Base URL — the address of your instance, e.g.
http://nzbhydra2:5076(no trailing slash). - API Key — your service API key.
Your API key is sent as the apikey query-string parameter.
Where to find it: NZBHydra2 → Config → Main → Security → API key.
The credential's Test button verifies the connection before you save.
Usage
- Add the NZBHydra2 node to a workflow (after a trigger such as When clicking 'Test workflow' or a Schedule Trigger).
- Select your NZBHydra2 API credential.
- Pick an Operation and run the workflow — the response is returned as JSON for the next node.
Compatibility
Requires n8n 1.0 or newer. Built and linted with the official @n8n/node-cli, and
