n8n-nodes-google-events-api

An n8n community node that searches Google Events and returns structured event listings: title, date, venue, address, ticket links, and description. It is backed by the Google Events API on Apify and bills per result, so there are no subscriptions and no minimums.

What it does

Give the node a query and an optional location, and it returns one item per event with the title, date, venue, address, link, description, and image. It also works as an AI Agent tool, so an agent can look up what is happening on demand.

  • Search events by query, optionally centered on a location
  • Localize results with a country code and language code
  • Fetch multiple result pages
  • Choose how much data to return per event: Simplified, Raw, or Selected Fields

Installation

Follow the n8n community nodes installation guide:

  1. In n8n, open Settings > Community Nodes.
  2. Select Install.
  3. Enter n8n-nodes-google-events-api as the npm package name.
  4. Agree to the risks of using community nodes, then select Install.

After it installs, the Google Events node appears in the nodes panel.

n8n Cloud only allows verified community nodes. Until this node is verified, install it on a self-hosted n8n instance.

Credentials

You need a free Apify account and an API token.

  1. Sign in to the Apify Console.
  2. Open Settings > Integrations and copy your Personal API token.
  3. In n8n, create a new Apify API credential and paste the token.
  4. Use the credential's Test button to confirm it works.

The node also supports Apify OAuth2 if you prefer to connect that way.

Operations

Event > Search returns events that match a query.

Parameter Description
Search Query What to search for, optionally including a place. Required.
Location Location to center the search on. Optional.
Country Code Two-letter country code the search runs from, for example us. Optional.
Language Code Two-letter language code for the results, for example en. Optional.
Maximum Pages How many result pages to fetch.
Output How much data to return: Simplified, Raw, or Selected Fields.

Output

Each event is returned as its own n8n item. The API returns nested fields per event, so the Output parameter lets you choose how much to return:

  • Simplified (default): a compact object with title, startDate, when, venue, address, link, description, and image. This mode is also used automatically when the node runs as an AI Agent tool, to keep responses small.
  • Raw: every field the API returns for each event, using the original field names below.
  • Selected Fields: pick exactly which fields to include.

Fields (Raw and Selected Fields)

Field Type Description
title string Event title
date object Date details, including start_date and when
address array Address lines for the venue
link string Link to the event page
event_location_map object Map image and link for the location
description string Event description, when available
ticket_info array Ticket sources and links, when available
venue object Venue details, including name and rating when available
image string Event image URL

Example workflows

1. Weekly local-events digest

  1. Schedule Trigger: run once a week.
  2. Google Events: Search Query things to do this weekend, Location your city, Output Simplified.
  3. Send Email or Slack: send the list of title, startDate, venue, and link.

2. Build an events calendar feed

  1. Manual Trigger.
  2. Google Events: search your topic and location.
  3. Google Sheets (or a calendar node): append each event's title, startDate, when, and address.

3. Let an AI Agent answer "what's on" questions

  1. AI Agent node.
  2. Attach Google Events as a tool.
  3. Ask "What concerts are in Austin this weekend?" The agent calls the node (in Simplified mode) and answers with live listings.

Pricing

This node calls the Google Events API on Apify, which is billed pay-per-result: a small per-search fee (about $0.04 per page of results) plus a fraction of a cent per event returned, with no subscription and no minimums. Apify also includes a free monthly usage tier that covers typical volumes. See the Actor page for current rates.
