Hey everyone,
My node for API Direct just got verified, so I wanted to share it here.
What it does: get data from social platforms and the web as native n8n steps.
Platforms covered
- Twitter/X
- TikTok
- Threads
- YouTube
- Truth Social
- Google SERP, Reviews, News, and Forums
- + a few more
Why it might be useful to you:
-
No official platform APIs, developer accounts, or OAuth apps to set up. One API key covers all platforms
-
Pay-as-you-go (from $0.002/request, free credit to start), no subscription
-
Works as an AI Agent tool: attach it to an agent and it picks operations and queries itself
Install: it’s verified, so just search “API Direct” in the nodes panel (Cloud and self-hosted).
Ready-made templates (in the official template library):
Docs: n8n - API Direct Docs
npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/n8n-nodes-apidirect
I use it mainly for brand monitoring and lead-gen workflows. For example, searching Reddit every hour for “looking for recommendations of an X…”, filtering spam with AI, and then having it email me when one is found so I can reply quickly.
Happy to answer questions, and very open to feedback on what operations/platforms to add next.
