Check CircleCI pipeline without logging in

# Retrieve CircleCI pipeline data on manual trigger

This workflow enables developers and DevOps engineers to quickly retrieve CI/CD pipeline status from CircleCI without accessing the web interface. Manually triggered in n8n, it fetches the latest pipeline details via CircleCI API, providing structured output for monitoring or integration into broader automation flows.

## Who it´s for
- Developers needing to check build status before deployment.
- DevOps engineers automating CI/CD monitoring tasks.
- Technical leads requiring fast access to pipeline data.
- Engineers diagnosing CI/CD issues outside the CircleCI UI.

## What the automation does
- Triggered manually via ´Execute´ button in n8n.
- Sends an authenticated HTTP request to CircleCI API using project slug.
- Retrieves metadata about the most recent pipeline run.
- Outputs structured JSON data for downstream use.
- Designed for reuse in larger workflows.

## What´s included
- Ready-to-use n8n workflow file.
- Manual trigger and HTTP request logic.
- Integration only with CircleCI API and native n8n nodes.
- Basic setup and adaptation guide.

## Requirements for setup
- Active CircleCI account with a configured project.
- CircleCI API token with required permissions.
- Access to an n8n instance (cloud or self-hosted).

## Benefits and outcomes
- Saves time checking pipeline status manually.
- Enables pre-deployment validation in automated flows.
- Reduces reliance on CircleCI’s web dashboard.
- Improves visibility into CI/CD processes.
