Why does my n8n API endpoint return a 404 error?

The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.

I am trying to use the n8n API on a locally hosted docker container.

I used the following docker run command:

BASH
docker run -it --rm \ --name n8n \ -p 5678:5678 \ -v n8n_data:/home/node/.n8n \ docker.n8n.io/n8nio/n8n \ start --tunnel

I created an API key and attempted basic authentication using the same user/password as used for the UI. I then tried accessing the following URL:

HTTP
http://localhost:5678/api/v1/wortkflows?active=true

However, I receive this error message with both Basic Auth and API key:

JSON
error 404: not found { "message": "not found" }

Debug info:

I suspect there might be a typo in the endpoint URL. What could be causing this 404 error and how can I resolve it?

It looks like your URL contains a typo. Instead of using:

HTTP
http://localhost:5678/api/v1/wortkflows?active=true

you should use:

HTTP
http://localhost:5678/api/v1/workflows?active=true

Ensure that all endpoint names are spelled correctly. This should resolve the 404 error you are encountering.
