Authentication

This node uses the Transmission API credential. In n8n, go to Credentials → New, pick
Transmission API, and fill in:

• Base URL — the address of your instance, e.g. http://transmission:9091 (no trailing slash).
• Username — your account username.
• Password — your account password.

HTTP Basic authentication (username + password).

Where to find it: See the service documentation: https://github.com/transmission/transmission/blob/main/docs/rpc-spec.md

The credential’s Test button verifies the connection before you save.

Usage

1. Add the Transmission node to a workflow (after a trigger such as When clicking ‘Test workflow’ or a Schedule Trigger).
2. Select your Transmission API credential.
3. Pick an Operation and run the workflow — the response is returned as JSON for the next node.

Compatibility

Requires n8n 1.0 or newer. Built and linted with the official @n8n/node-cli, and
published to npm with a build-provenance attestation.
