## Using API key <a href="#using-api-key" id="using-api-key"></a>

To configure this credential, you'll need:

* An **API Key**: Generate this from your own ERPNext user account in **Settings > My Settings > API Access**.
* An **API Secret**: Generated with the API key.
* Your ERPNext **Environment**:
  * For **Cloud-hosted**:
    * Your ERPNext **Subdomain**: Refer to the [FAQs](#how-to-find-the-subdomain-of-an-erpnext-cloud-hosted-account)
    * Your **Domain**: Choose between `erpnext.com` and `frappe.cloud`.
  * For **Self-hosted**:
    * The fully qualified **Domain** where you host ERPNext
* Choose whether to **Ignore SSL Issues**: When selected, n8n will connect even if SSL certificate validation is unavailable.

If you are an ERPNext System Manager, you can also generate API keys and secrets for other users. Refer to the [ERPNext Adding Users documentation](https://docs.erpnext.com/docs/user/manual/en/adding-users) for more information.

## How to find the subdomain of an ERPNext cloud-hosted account <a href="#how-to-find-the-subdomain-of-an-erpnext-cloud-hosted-account" id="how-to-find-the-subdomain-of-an-erpnext-cloud-hosted-account"></a>

You can find your ERPNext subdomain by reviewing the address bar of your browser. The string between `https://` and either `.erpnext.com` or `frappe.cloud` is your subdomain.

For example, if the URL in the address bar is `https://n8n.erpnext.com`, the subdomain is `n8n`.

## 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/integrations/builtin/credentials/erpnext.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.
