(self-hosted and n8n Cloud).
Installation
This is a verified community node: in n8n click + (Add node), search for
Aria2, and add it — no manual install needed.

Authentication
This node uses the Aria2 API credential. In n8n, go to Credentials → New, pick
Aria2 API, and fill in:
- Base URL — the address of your instance, e.g.
http://aria2:6800(no trailing slash). - RPC Secret — the RPC secret token (leave empty if none is set).
The RPC secret token is passed with each JSON-RPC call.
Where to find it: See the service documentation: https://aria2.github.io/manual/en/html/aria2c.html#rpc-interface
The credential's Test button verifies the connection before you save.
Usage
- Add the Aria2 node to a workflow (after a trigger such as When clicking 'Test workflow' or a Schedule Trigger).
- Select your Aria2 API credential.
- Pick an Operation and run the workflow — the response is returned as JSON for the next node.
Compatibility
Requires n8n 1.0 or newer. Built and linted with the official @n8n/node-cli, and
published to npm with a build-provenance attestation.
