Description

n8n-nodes-apish

The API.SH node for n8n: public web data from around 1,000 websites (search engines, social media, e-commerce, real estate, jobs, travel, news and sports: Google, Amazon, TikTok, Zillow and more) as clean JSON, inside your workflows. One node, one credential, thousands of endpoints.

Install

• n8n (self-hosted or Cloud): Settings → Community Nodes → Install → enter n8n-nodes-apish → Install.
• Then search the node panel for API.SH.

Credentials

1. Sign up at app.api.sh (100 free credits every month) and create an API key under API keys.
2. In n8n, add an API.SH API credential and paste the key. n8n checks it against GET https://api.api.sh/v1/account.

The key is sent in the x-api-key header to https://api.api.sh only.

Use

1. Add the API.SH node.
2. Pick a Platform (e.g. TikTok) and an Endpoint (e.g. TikTok profile). Each endpoint shows its current price in credits.
3. Fill in the endpoint’s Parameters (e.g. username: nasa).
4. Optional Options:
– Split Into Items: one n8n item per record (per search result, review, post…) instead of one item per call.
– Fields: return only these fields, e.g. posts.title,posts.url.
– Include Raw Source Data: keep the bulky raw blocks (off by default).
– Fresh: skip the 24-hour cache and fetch live.

The Account platform reads your balance and spend, usage per day, recent call logs, and the response of an earlier call again (all free).

Every item carries apish.requestid and apish.creditsused. Failed calls return n8n errors with API.SH’s message; turn on Continue On Fail to keep going. The node can also be used as a tool by n8n AI agents.

Always up to date

Since version 0.3.0 (node version 2) the platform and endpoint lists come live from API.SH’s public catalog (GET https://api.api.sh/catalog, free, no key), and each endpoint’s parameters from /catalog?route=…, cached for an hour. New platforms, new endpoints and price changes show up without updating the package. If api.api.sh can’t be reached while you edit, the node falls back to the list bundled in the package. Running a workflow doesn’t read the catalog.

Nodes added before 0.3.0 stay on node version 1 (the list bundled with 0.3.0, one field per parameter) and keep running unchanged. To switch one to version 2, add a new API.SH node and pick the same platform and endpoint.

Example workflow

examples/tiktok-profile.json: Manual Trigger → API.SH (TikTok profile of nasa). Import it with Workflows → Import from File, then select your API.SH credential.

Pricing

You pay in API.SH credits: you pay for calls that run, at the endpoint’s price (most cost 1 credit). Calls refused before they run (a missing parameter, a wrong key) and errors on our side are free. See api.sh/pricing.
