n8n-nodes-google-shopping-api

An n8n community node that searches Google Shopping and returns structured product listings: title, price, seller, rating, reviews, delivery, and product link. It is backed by the Google Shopping API on Apify and bills per result, so there are no subscriptions and no minimums.

What it does

Give the node a product query, and it returns one item per shopping result with the title, price, seller, rating, review count, delivery note, and product link. It also works as an AI Agent tool, so an agent can compare prices on demand.

  • Search products by query, optionally scoped to a location
  • Filter by minimum and maximum price, free shipping, and on-sale only
  • Emulate desktop, mobile, or tablet
  • Choose how much data to return per product: 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-shopping-api as the npm package name.
  4. Agree to the risks of using community nodes, then select Install.

After it installs, the Google Shopping 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

Product > Search returns products that match a query.

Parameter Description
Search Query The product to search for. Required.
Location Location to run the search from. Optional.
Country Code / Language Code Localization, for example us and en.
Device Desktop, Mobile, or Tablet.
Minimum Price / Maximum Price Price bounds. 0 for no limit.
Free Shipping Only / On Sale Only Result filters.
Maximum Pages How many result pages to fetch.
Output How much data to return: Simplified, Raw, or Selected Fields.

Output

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

  • Simplified (default): a compact object with position, title, price, source, rating, reviews, delivery, productLink, and productId. 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 product, using the original field names below.
  • Selected Fields: pick exactly which fields to include.

Fields (Raw and Selected Fields)

Field Type Description
position integer Rank of the result on the page
title string Product title
product_id string Google product identifier
product_link string Link to the product on Google Shopping
immersive_product_page_token string Token for the immersive product page
source string Seller or store name
multiple_sources boolean Whether the product is sold by multiple sellers
price string Displayed price
extracted_price number Numeric price
rating number Product rating
reviews integer Number of reviews
snippet string Short product description
thumbnail string Product image URL
delivery string Delivery or shipping note

Example workflows

1. Price comparison into a sheet

  1. Manual Trigger.
  2. Google Shopping: Search Query your product, Output Simplified.
  3. Sort: by price; Google Sheets: append title, price, source, and productLink.

2. Daily deal watch

  1. Schedule Trigger: run daily.
  2. Google Shopping: your product, On Sale Only enabled, Maximum Price set to your target.
  3. Slack: alert when matching deals appear.

3. Let an AI Agent compare prices

  1. AI Agent node.
  2. Attach Google Shopping as a tool.
  3. Ask "What's the cheapest noise-cancelling headphone right now?" The agent calls the node (in Simplified mode) and answers with live listings.

Pricing

This node calls the Google Shopping 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 product 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.
