Google Gemini grounding feature workaround?

I haven’t been able to find a solution for this, so I’m asking if anyone has created a workaround to use the grounding feature with the Gemini API. I’ve been using it quite a bit in AI Studio, and it’s fantastic; I’d love to incorporate it into my n8n workflow.

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

workaround is to use the HTTP Request node to hit the Gemini API directly with grounding enabled—check the API docs at ai.google.dev for the exact endpoint and params, then tweak your workflow to handle the response.
