Overview

This node integrates with the JigsawStack API to provide web suggestions based on a user query. It is designed to fetch relevant web suggestion results that can help users autocomplete or refine their search queries dynamically. This functionality is particularly useful in scenarios such as building search bars, enhancing user input fields with predictive text, or generating keyword ideas for SEO and content creation.

For example, if a user types "best restaurants," the node can return popular or trending completions like "best restaurants near me" or "best restaurants 2024," helping improve user experience by offering quick, relevant suggestions.

Properties

Name Meaning
Query The search string for which to get web suggestions. This is a required string input where you specify the partial or full query text.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the web suggestions returned from the JigsawStack API. The exact structure depends on the API response but typically includes an array of suggested phrases or keywords related to the input query.

If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would be used to represent any non-JSON data returned by the API, but in this case, the output is purely JSON-based suggestions.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the JigsawStack API.
  • Needs an API key credential configured in n8n to authenticate requests.
  • The base URL for API requests is https://api.jigsawstack.com/v1.
  • Requests are sent with appropriate headers including the API key and content type set to JSON.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Missing or invalid API key will cause authentication errors.
    • Network connectivity problems may prevent reaching the API endpoint.
    • Providing an empty or malformed query string might result in no suggestions or API errors.
  • Error messages:

    • Authentication failures usually indicate incorrect or missing API credentials; verify your API key setup.
    • HTTP 400 errors often mean invalid input parameters; ensure the query string is properly formatted and not empty.
    • Timeout or network errors suggest connectivity issues; check your internet connection and firewall settings.
