An n8n community node for Google NotebookLM. Manage notebooks, sources, artifacts, chat, and notes from your n8n workflows.

Built on top of notebooklm-sdk.

Authentication

NotebookLM uses Google session cookies — there is no public API key. You need to provide your browser session cookies as a credential.

Getting your session

  1. Run the login helper:
    npx notebooklm-sdk login
  2. A browser window will open. Sign in to your Google account.
  3. The session is saved to ~/.notebooklm/session.json.
  4. Copy the entire file contents:
    cat ~/.notebooklm/session.json

Adding the credential in n8n

  1. Go to Credentials → New Credential → NotebookLM API
  2. Paste the full session.json contents into the Session JSON field
  3. Save

Cookies expire periodically. Re-run npx notebooklm-sdk login and update the credential when you get authentication errors.

  3. NotebookLM: Artifact → Create Report — generate a briefing doc
  4. NotebookLM: Chat → Ask — ask a follow-up question grounded in the source

Generate and download an audio overview:

  2. NotebookLM: Artifact → Wait Until Ready — poll until status is completed
  3. NotebookLM: Artifact → Download Audio — download the MP3 as binary data
  4. Write Binary File — save to disk, or pipe to any other binary-capable node

Create and download an infographic from your latest notebook (example JSON):

  1. NotebookLM: Notebook → List — list all notebooks (returned in most-recently-accessed order)
  2. Code — return [$input.first()] to pick the latest one
  3. NotebookLM: Artifact → Create Infographic — kick off generation
  4. NotebookLM: Artifact → Wait Until Ready — poll every 5 s, up to 300 s
  5. NotebookLM: Artifact → Download Infographic — download the PNG as binary data

Finding your Notebook ID

The notebook ID is the long alphanumeric string in the NotebookLM URL:

https://notebooklm.google.com/notebook/abc123def456...
                                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You can also use Notebook → List as the first step in a workflow to retrieve notebook IDs dynamically.

Local development

git clone https://github.com/agmmnn/n8n-nodes-notebooklm
cd n8n-nodes-notebooklm
npm install
npm run build

To test in a local n8n instance:

# In this repo
npm link

# In your n8n directory
npm link n8n-nodes-notebooklm

Then restart n8n — the node will appear in the node palette under NotebookLM.
