n8n-nodes-askarc

This is an n8n community node that lets you use the AskArc AI API in your workflows.

AskArc provides access to multiple AI models (Google Gemini, OpenAI, and more) through a single API with intelligent model routing.

n8n is a fair-code licensed workflow automation platform.

Installation

Follow the installation guide in the n8n community nodes documentation.

  1. Open Settings > Community Nodes in your n8n instance
  2. Enter n8n-nodes-askarc
  3. Click Install

Prerequisites

You need an AskArc API key to use this node:

  1. Sign up at askarc.app
  2. Go to the AskArc Portal and generate an API key from the header (starts with fxk_)
  3. API usage is billed through your AskArc API credits
  4. You can also add your own custom models through the portal

Credentials

Field Description
API Key Your fxk_ API key
Base URL API endpoint (default: https://api.askarc.app)

When you add credentials, n8n will test them automatically by calling the List Models endpoint.

Operations

Chat Completion

Send messages to an AI model and receive a response. Uses the OpenAI-compatible /api/v1/chat/completions endpoint.

Fields:

Messages Yes — JSON array of {role, content} message objects.

Options:

Max Tokens 4096 Maximum tokens to generate
Top P 1 Nucleus sampling threshold

Example messages input:

[
  { "role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant." },
  { "role": "user", "content": "Summarise this text: {{$json.text}}" }
]

Response: Standard OpenAI-format object with id, model, choices, and usage.

List Models

Returns all available AI models. Each model is emitted as a separate n8n item with fields: id, name, provider, pricing, contextWindow, and supportsImages.

AI Agent Compatibility

This node has usableAsTool: true, so it can be used as a tool inside n8n AI Agent nodes. The Chat Completion operation works as a tool that AI agents can call to get responses from AskArc models.
