Use the Hostinger API n8n community node to manage your Hostinger VPS and other Hostinger services from n8n workflows. Install the n8n-nodes-hostinger-api package, generate a Hostinger API token, and add the token as Hostinger API credentials in n8n.<\/p>

Before you start<\/h3>

A self-hosted n8n instance is required, since community nodes are only available in self-hosted n8n. See How to self-host n8n for setup on a Hostinger VPS<\/a>.<\/p>

Installing the Hostinger API node in n8n instance<\/b><\/h2>

To get started with the Hostinger API in n8n, follow these steps to install the custom community node:<\/p>

    \n
  1. \n

    Open your n8n instance<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Navigate to Settings<\/b> > Community Nodes<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Click on Install<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    Enter the package name: n8n-nodes-hostinger-api<\/b><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  5. \n

    Confirm the installation and wait for it to complete.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  6. \n

    Restart n8n if prompted.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>

    You now have the Hostinger API node<\/b> available in your n8n workflow builder.<\/p>

    \n

    Community nodes are only available in the self-hosted<\/b> n8n version.<\/p>\n<\/div>

    Obtaining Your Hostinger API Token<\/b><\/h2>

    You need an API token<\/a> from Hostinger to authenticate requests. Here’s how to get it:<\/p>

      \n
    1. \n

      Log in to your Hostinger dashboard<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    2. \n

      From the Dashboard Side Panel<\/b> > API<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    3. \n

      Click Generate Token<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    4. \n

      Set the token name and expiration if needed.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    5. \n

      Copy the generated API Token<\/b> and store it securely.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>

      Configuring Hostinger API Credentials in n8n<\/b><\/h2>

      Once you have your API token, you need to set it up in n8n:<\/p>

        \n
      1. \n

        Go to n8n and open Credentials<\/b> > Hostinger API<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      2. \n

        Click Create New Credentials<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      3. \n

        Enter the API Token<\/b> by pasting the token you got from Hostinger.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      4. \n

        Click Save<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>

        The Hostinger API node is now ready to use in your n8n workflows to automate the management and monitoring of your Hostinger VPS and other services. To manage Hostinger Reach contacts in the same workflows, see How to use Hostinger Reach with n8n<\/a>.<\/p>
