n8n HTTP Request Node

n8n HTTP Request node config: Method=POST, URL=https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search, Header Auth with x-api-key, Body JSON={"query": "{{$json.keyword}}", "platform": "google", "num_results": 10}. Connect to a Code node that extracts position data, then to Google Sheets for storage. Schedule trigger runs daily at 6 AM.

n8n HTTP Request Node is relevant to Google, Amazon, YouTube, Reddit. Scavio provides a unified API to access data from all of these platforms.

The n8n HTTP Request node is the most flexible integration point in the n8n automation platform. It sends GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, or PATCH requests to any URL, with configurable headers, authentication, body content, and response handling. For search API integration, it replaces dedicated connector nodes that may not exist for newer APIs. Search API integration pattern: (1) HTTP Request node configured with POST to api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search, x-api-key header, JSON body with query and platform. (2) Code node to parse and filter results. (3) Downstream nodes for storage (Google Sheets, Airtable), notification (Slack, email), or further processing. n8n pricing context: self-hosted n8n is free with unlimited executions. n8n Cloud starts at $24/mo for 2,500 executions. Each workflow execution that includes a Scavio search adds $0.005 to API costs. A workflow running 100 searches/day costs $15/mo in API calls regardless of n8n hosting choice. Common workflow patterns: (1) Daily rank tracker -- schedule node triggers daily, HTTP Request queries Scavio for target keywords, results stored in Google Sheets for trend tracking. (2) Competitor monitor -- HTTP Request checks competitor brand mentions across Google, Reddit, and YouTube, sends Slack alerts for new mentions. (3) Content pipeline -- HTTP Request fetches trending topics, AI node generates content briefs, results sent to project management tool.
