Hi everyone!

We’re excited to share the deAPI community node, now available on both n8n Cloud and self-hosted instances. deAPI is a unified API for open-source generative AI models – FLUX, LTX Video, Whisper, and more – powered by a decentralized GPU network. One API key, no infrastructure setup.

What can you do with this node?

Resource Operation Description Models
Image Generate Create images from text prompts. Square, landscape, and portrait aspect ratios. FLUX.2 Klein 4B, FLUX.1 Schnell, Z-Image Turbo
Image Upscale Enlarge images by 4x. RealESRGAN
Image Remove Background Create transparent PNGs. Ben2
Video Generate Create videos from text prompts or images. Supports text-to-video and image-to-video with first/last frame control. LTX-2 19B, LTX-Video 0.9.8
Video Transcribe Transcribe videos to text. Supports YouTube, Twitch, X, and Kick URLs directly – no download needed. Whisper Large V3
Audio Transcribe Convert audio files (MP3, WAV, FLAC, and more) to text with optional timestamps. Whisper Large V3
Prompt Image Prompt Booster Optimize short prompts into detailed, high-quality prompts for image generation. –
Prompt Video Prompt Booster Optimize prompts for video generation. –

Both Prompt Boosters work as AI Agent tools, so your AI Agent can automatically craft better prompts before generating images or videos.

New operations and AI models from deAPI are gradually being added to the node. For the most up-to-date list of available operations, visit deapi.ai.

How does it work?

All generation and transcription operations use a webhook-based async pattern:

  1. The node submits your request to deAPI and pauses the workflow
  2. deAPI processes the job on its GPU network
  3. When complete, deAPI sends a webhook back to your n8n instance
  4. The workflow resumes automatically with the results

Your n8n instance must be accessible via HTTPS for webhooks to work.

Example Workflows

We have published 4 ready-to-use workflow templates:

  1. Summarize YouTube videos and generate thumbnails Transcribe a YouTube video, generate a summary with an AI Agent, and create a custom thumbnail uploaded to Google Drive.
  2. Create AI video ads from product descriptions Fill out a form with product details, generate a hero image, animate it into a video ad, and deliver it via email.
  3. Turn YouTube meeting recordings into Notion notes Monitor a YouTube channel for new uploads, transcribe them, extract structured meeting notes with action items, save to Notion, and notify Slack.
  4. Generate Shopify product images Automatically generate styled product images and transparent PNGs when new products are added to Shopify.

Browse all our templates on the deAPI creator page.
