n8n
Add web search, news, page retrieval, sitemap discovery and trending topics to n8n workflows with the verified n8n-nodes-search1api community node.
n8n-nodes-search1api is a verified n8n community node that gives n8n workflows live web access through Search1API — web search, news search, readable page retrieval, sitemap discovery, and trending topics, all through the native n8n node interface.
Verified status: n8n-nodes-search1api has passed n8n's automated and manual review and is listed in the official n8n community node catalog.
Install
In n8n, install the community node n8n-nodes-search1api from Settings → Community Nodes, or from the command line:
npm install n8n-nodes-search1apiThen restart n8n. The node appears under Search1API in the node panel.
Credentials
- Create a key in the Search1API dashboard.
- In n8n, create a Search1API API credential and paste the key.
- Test the credential — the test calls the read-only
/usageendpoint and does not run a search.
Keep API keys in n8n credentials, never in workflow fields or exported workflow JSON.

Tips
For a focused lookup use Web Search with five to ten results. For deeper research, increase the result count and set Crawl Results to retrieve the full text of the most relevant results.
Use a vertical source when the workflow has a clear target:
- GitHub for repositories and code projects
- Reddit for community discussions
- ArXiv for research papers
- YouTube for videos
- WeChat or Bilibili for Chinese-language content
Every operation is read-only. Search results include source URLs that can be passed to later workflow steps.
Credits
Search and news requests cost one credit each; crawling a page costs one additional credit per successfully crawled page. New accounts receive 100 credits without a credit card. See Credits and limits for current rates.
