n8n-nodes-yepcode

This is an n8n community node that enables you to use YepCode within your n8n workflows.

Easily execute AI-generated code in a secure, scalable environment with full support for dependencies, secrets, logs, and access to APIs or databases—all on a developer-first platform designed to create any integration or automation without DevOps complexity.

n8n is a fair-code licensed workflow automation platform.

Installation Operations Credentials Usage Resources

Installation

Follow the installation guide in the n8n community nodes documentation.

Operations

1. Run a YepCode Process

Execute a specific YepCode process by selecting it from your YepCode workspace. This operation allows you to run pre-built processes with parameter mapping and advanced execution options.

Key Features:

• Process Selection: Choose from your available YepCode processes with searchable dropdown
• Parameter Mapping: Map n8n input data to process parameters using a visual resource mapper
• Version Control: Select specific process versions or use the current version
• Execution Modes:
  • Run Once for All Items: Execute the process once with all input items
  • Run Once for Each Item: Execute the process separately for each input item
• Synchronous/Asynchronous: Choose whether to wait for execution completion
• n8n Context Integration: Automatically pass n8n workflow data to your process

Advanced Options:

• Version Selection: Run specific published versions of your process
• Synchronous Execution: Wait for completion and get results immediately
• Metadata: Add execution comments and initiator information
• n8n Context: Include workflow metadata, environment variables, and execution info

Example Use Cases:

• AI/ML model inference
• Data transformation processes
• API integrations with complex logic
• File processing workflows
• Database operations

2. Run Code

Directly execute custom JavaScript or Python code in YepCode from your n8n workflow. This operation provides maximum flexibility for custom logic execution.

Key Features:

• Multi-language Support: Write code in JavaScript (Node.js) or Python
• Auto-dependency Management: Import any NPM or PyPI package - YepCode installs them automatically
• n8n Integration: Access n8n input items and workflow metadata directly in your code
• Execution Modes:
  • Run Once for All Items: Process all input items in a single execution
  • Run Once for Each Item: Execute code separately for each input item
• Secure Environment: Code runs in YepCode's isolated, secure environment

Advanced Options:

• Language Detection: Auto-detect code language or specify manually
• Code Cleanup: Option to remove code after execution
• Metadata: Add execution comments and initiator information
• n8n Context: Include workflow data and metadata in your code execution

Example Use Cases:

• Custom data transformations
• Complex calculations
• API aggregations
• Data validation
• Custom business logic
• Integration with external services

Credentials

Authentication is required to use this node. You'll need your YepCode API token, which you can find in your YepCode workspace under Settings > API credentials. For YepCode On-Premise, you may also specify a custom API host.

1. Sign up for YepCode Cloud.
2. Get your API token from Settings > API credentials in your YepCode workspace.
3. Create your n8n credential using this token.
4. (Optional) Enter a custom API host if using YepCode On-Premise.

Usage

Setting Up Credentials

1. In your YepCode workspace, go to Settings > API credentials
2. Copy your API token
3. In n8n, create a new credential for the YepCode node
4. Paste your API token
5. (Optional) Set a custom API host for YepCode On-Premise

Using Run Process Operation

1. Add the YepCode node to your workflow
2. Select "Run Process" as the operation
3. Choose your process from the dropdown (searchable)
4. Configure parameters using the resource mapper to map n8n data to process inputs
5. Set execution mode:
   • Run Once for All Items: Process all items together
   • Run Once for Each Item: Process each item individually
6. Configure advanced options (optional):
   • Enable/disable n8n context integration
   • Select specific process version
   • Set synchronous/asynchronous execution

Using Run Code Operation

1. Add the YepCode node to your workflow
2. Select "Run Code" as the operation
3. Write your code in the code editor (JavaScript or Python)
4. Set execution mode:
   • Run Once for All Items: Process all items together
   • Run Once for Each Item: Process each item individually
5. Configure advanced options (optional):
   • Specify language (auto-detected by default)
   • Enable/disable n8n context integration
   • Set code cleanup options

Example JavaScript Code:

// Import any npm package - YepCode will install it automatically
const { DateTime } = require("luxon");

const { n8n } = yepcode.context.parameters;

const results = [];
for (const item of n8n.items) {
  results.push({
    ...item.json,
    processedAt: DateTime.now().toISO(),
    transformed: item.json.data * 2
  });
}

// Access n8n metadata
console.log("Environment:", n8n.metadata);

return results;

Example Python Code:

# Import any PyPI package - YepCode will install it automatically
from datetime import datetime

# Access n8n context
n8n = yepcode.context.parameters['n8n']

results = []
for item in n8n['items']:
    # Process each item
    processed_item = {
        **item['json'],
        'processed_at': datetime.now().isoformat(),
        'status': 'completed'
    }
    results.append(processed_item)

# Access n8n metadata
print("Environment:", n8n['metadata'])
print("Execution ID:", n8n['metadata']['$execution']['id'])

return results

Accessing n8n Context

Both operations can include n8n context data in your YepCode execution:

• Input Items: All data from previous nodes in your workflow
• Workflow Metadata: Environment variables, execution information, and workflow details
• Execution Context: Current execution ID, resume URLs, and other runtime information

Error Handling

• Continue on Fail: Enable this option to continue workflow execution even if YepCode operations fail
• Error Information: Failed executions return detailed error information in the output
• Logs: Access execution logs through the YepCode dashboard or API
