Overview
The node integrates with the JigsawStack API to generate summaries from various input sources. It supports summarizing plain text, PDF documents accessible via URL, or files stored in a connected file storage system. Users can choose between receiving a continuous paragraph summary or bullet-point style highlights.
This node is beneficial when you need to quickly extract key information from large texts or documents without manual reading. For example, it can be used to summarize lengthy reports, articles, or meeting notes into concise overviews or actionable bullet points.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Summary Source | Choose the source of the content to summarize: Text, URL (PDF document), or File Store Key (stored document). |
| Text | The raw text content to summarize. Maximum 300,000 characters. Required if URL and File Store Key are not provided. |
| URL | The web address of a PDF document to summarize. Required if Text and File Store Key are not provided. |
| File Store Key | The key identifying a stored document in the file storage system to summarize. Required if Text and URL are not provided. |
| Type | Format of the summary output: Text (continuous paragraph) or Points (bullet points as an array of strings). |
| Max Points | When summary type is set to Points, this defines the maximum number of bullet points to generate (1-100). |
| Max Characters | Maximum length of the generated summary in characters. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data containing the generated summary. Depending on the selected summary type:
- If Text is chosen, the output will be a single string representing a continuous paragraph summary.
- If Points is chosen, the output will be an array of strings, each string being a bullet point summarizing key aspects.
No binary data output is produced by this node.
Dependencies
- Requires an active API key credential for the JigsawStack API.
- Internet access to call the JigsawStack API endpoint at
https://api.jigsawstack.com/v1. - If using URL or File Store Key as input, the respective resources must be accessible and valid.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid or missing API key: Ensure that the API key credential is correctly configured in n8n.
- Input validation errors: Make sure only one summary source is provided (text, URL, or file store key). Providing multiple or none may cause errors.
- Exceeding character limits: The text input should not exceed 300,000 characters; otherwise, the API might reject the request.
- Invalid URL or inaccessible file: If summarizing a PDF via URL or file store key, verify that the resource exists and is reachable.
- Max Points out of range: When using bullet points, ensure the max points value is between 1 and 100.
