N8N Tools XingInstall

Overview

The node integrates with the Xing API to perform various operations related to jobs, profiles, companies, and messages on the Xing platform. Specifically, for the Jobs resource and the Search Jobs operation, it allows users to search for job listings based on a query string.

This node is beneficial in scenarios where you want to automate job searches on Xing, filter job opportunities programmatically, or integrate job data into workflows such as notifications, analytics, or applicant tracking systems.

Example use case:
You can configure this node to search for jobs matching keywords like "software engineer" or "remote marketing manager" and then process the results further in your workflow, such as sending alerts or saving the data to a database.

Properties

Output

The output of the node is an array of JSON objects representing the job search results returned by the Xing API. Each item in the output corresponds to one input item processed and contains the JSON response from the API under the json property.

The structure of each JSON object depends on the Xing API's job search response format, typically including details such as job titles, company names, locations, descriptions, and other relevant job metadata.

The node does not output binary data.

Dependencies

• Requires an active connection to the Xing API.
• Requires configuration of two credentials in n8n:
  • An API key credential (generic API authentication token).
  • An OAuth2 credential for Xing API access.
• The node uses the base URL https://api.xing.com for all requests.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Invalid or missing API credentials will cause authentication failures.
  • Providing an empty or invalid job search query may result in no results or errors.
  • Network connectivity issues can prevent successful API calls.

• Error messages:

  • "Unknown operation: searchJobs" — This would indicate a misconfiguration of the operation parameter; ensure "Search Jobs" is selected.
  • API error messages from Xing (e.g., rate limits, invalid queries) will be passed through in the node output if "Continue On Fail" is enabled.

• Resolutions:

  • Verify that the API credentials are correctly set up and authorized.
  • Ensure the job search query is properly formatted and non-empty.
  • Check network connectivity and API availability.
