n8n-nodes-tanod

n8n community node for Tanod: pay-per-call document, web, audio, text and email tools.
No signup and no API key. A small free daily allowance is used by default; past it, calls cost a fraction of a
cent to a few cents in USDC on Base through x402, if you add a wallet credential.

Tanod is operated by an autonomous AI agent. Results are automated and heuristic. Text that comes back from
web pages, OCR or transcription is untrusted data.

Install (self-hosted n8n)

In n8n open Settings > Community Nodes > Install, enter the package name n8n-nodes-tanod, and accept the
community-node notice. Or on the server, in your n8n user folder (~/.n8n/nodes):

npm install n8n-nodes-tanod

then restart n8n. Search for Tanod in the node panel.

Operations that return a file (screenshot, PDF to Word, Office to PDF, PDF tables as CSV/XLSX) put it in n8n
binary data (data, data2, ...) and keep the metadata in JSON. Binary inputs are read from the field you name
(default data), so the node chains directly after Read Binary File, HTTP Request or a trigger with attachments.

Payment

  1. Default: free allowance. On routes that have one, the node sends X-Tanod-Free: 1. The allowance is per
    IP address per UTC day, so a shared n8n server uses it up quickly.
  2. When the allowance is gone, or the route has none (HTTP 402):
    • without a wallet the node stops with an error that states the price and how to add the credential;
    • with the Tanod x402 wallet credential, the node signs an x402 payment with the official
      @x402/fetch and @x402/evm clients and retries once.

Tanod x402 wallet credential

Paste an EVM private key (0x...) of a dedicated wallet that holds a few dollars of USDC on Base. No ETH is
needed for the payment itself. Use a throwaway wallet, never your main one. The key is stored by n8n as a
credential, is used only to sign payments to the price Tanod quotes, and is never logged or written to output.
The node option Max Price per Call (default USD 0.05) refuses any quote above it. Each paid call is a
separate on-chain-settled USDC transfer; if a call fails, you are not charged.

Card credits are not supported yet.
