S3 credentials

You can use these credentials to authenticate the following nodes:

• S3

Prerequisites

Create an account on an S3-compatible server. Use the S3 node for generic or non-AWS S3 like:

• MinIO{:target="_blank" .external-link}
• Wasabi{:target="_blank" .external-link}
• Digital Ocean spaces{:target="_blank" .external-link}

Supported authentication methods

• S3 endpoint

Related resources

Refer to your S3-compatible provider's documentation for more information on the services. For example, refer to Wasabi's REST API documentation{:target="_blank" .external-link} or Digital Ocean's Spaces API Reference Documentation{:target="_blank" .external-link}.

Using S3 endpoint

To configure this credential, you'll need:

• An S3 Endpoint: Enter the URL endpoint for the S3 storage backend.
• A Region: Enter the region for your S3 storage. Some providers call this the "region slug."
• An Access Key ID: Enter the S3 access key your S3 provider uses to access the bucket or space. Some providers call this API keys.
• A Secret Access Key: Enter the secret access key for the Access Key ID.
• Force Path Style: When turned on, the connection uses path-style addressing for buckets.
• Ignore SSL Issues: When turned on, n8n will connect even if SSL certificate validation fails.

Refer to your S3-compatible provider's documentation for more information.
