Secure Webhook with API Key Authentication - Essential
Implements a secure n8n webhook that validates API keys from request headers using an internal mock database, ensuring only authorized requests proceed.
This workflow establishes a robust security pattern for n8n webhooks by requiring a valid API key in the 'x-api-key' header of incoming POST requests. The Secured Webhook node receives the request, extracts the key, and verifies it via an internal HTTP request to a secondary 'Get API Key' webhook. This internal endpoint queries a mock database (Registered API Keys node) to match the provided key against authorized pairs, separating public exposure from data storage for enhanced security.
