API Automation with n8n

The HTTP Request node is the foundation of API automation in n8n — it calls any REST endpoint with full control over method, headers, authentication, body, and response handling. With 4,287 templates, it’s the single most-used node in the entire collection. Any workflow that pulls data from an API, pushes to a webhook, or calls a service without a native n8n integration uses HTTP Request.

Popular Automation Patterns

• REST API integration — call any external API as a workflow step: internal microservices, third-party platforms, data providers, or custom endpoints — with support for pagination, OAuth, and API key auth
• Web scraping with HTTP Request — fetch web page HTML or JSON responses and parse them with the HTML Extract node or Code node — a lightweight approach for sites that don’t block automated requests
• Webhook forwarding — receive a webhook from one service and forward the payload (transformed or filtered) to another service’s API endpoint in a single workflow step
