# execution

## `execution.id` <a href="#executionid" id="executionid"></a>

Contains the unique ID of the current workflow execution.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="JavaScript" %}

```js

```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Python" %}

```python
executionId = _execution.id
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## `execution.resumeUrl` <a href="#executionresumeurl" id="executionresumeurl"></a>

The webhook URL to call to resume a [waiting](/integrations/builtin/core-nodes/n8n-nodes-base.wait.md) workflow.

See the [Wait > On webhook call](/integrations/builtin/core-nodes/n8n-nodes-base.wait.md#on-webhook-call) documentation to learn more.

`execution.resumeUrl` is available in workflows containing a Wait node, along with a node that waits for a webhook response.

## `execution.customData` <a href="#executioncustomdata" id="executioncustomdata"></a>

This is only available in the Code node.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="JavaScript" %}

```js
// Set a single piece of custom execution data
$execution.customData.set("key", "value");

// Set the custom execution data object
$execution.customData.setAll({"key1": "value1", "key2": "value2"})

// Access the current state of the object during the execution
var customData = $execution.customData.getAll()

// Access a specific value set during this execution
var customData = $execution.customData.get("key")
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Python" %}

```python
# Set a single piece of custom execution data
_execution.customData.set("key", "value");

# Set the custom execution data object
_execution.customData.setAll({"key1": "value1", "key2": "value2"})

# Access the current state of the object during the execution
customData = _execution.customData.getAll()

# Access a specific value set during this execution
customData = _execution.customData.get("key")
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.n8n.io/build/code-in-n8n/cookbook/built-in-methods-and-variables-examples/execution.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
