Inputs

  • Scope — Select the scope of the session store to retrieve data from. Options are Execution (current run only), Workflow (shared across executions, in-memory), or Global (shared across all workflows, in-memory). Data is ephemeral and lost on restart.

Output shape

a single JSON object representing all stored key-value pairs within the chosen scope.

The returned data includes all keys and nested values in the specified scope. Data is stored in memory and is lost when n8n restarts. There is no pagination; the entire scope content is returned at once.
