Who it’s for?
Who it’s for? Anyone who wants a dead-simple, free-tier friendly way to run custom API logic on Google Cloud Run and call it securely from n8n—no public exposure, no local hosting. What it does Minimal flow: Set → JWT (sign) → HTTP (token exchange) → HTTP (call Cloud Run with Authorization: Bearer <id_token> ). No caching, no extras—just enough to authenticate and hit your endpoint. How to set up General instructions below—see my detailed guide for more info: Build a Secure Google Cloud Run API, Then Call It from n8n (Free Tier) Setup: Create a Cloud Run service and enable Require authentication (Cloud IAM). Create a Google Service Account with Cloud Run Invoker on that service. In n8n, set service_url, client_email, token_uri (https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token) in Set. Create a JWT (PEM) credential from your service account key (paste the full BEGIN/END block). Run the workflow; the second HTTP node calls your Cloud Run URL with the ID token. Requirements Cloud Run service URL (auth required) Google Service Account with Cloud Run Invoker Private key JSON fields downloaded from Service Account | needed to generate JWT credentials More details Full write-up (minimal + modular versions): Build a Secure Google Cloud Run API, Then Call It from n8n (Free Tier).
