Summary

Submit a research question to Tavily to create a research task. You can choose the citation style and model, provide a JSON Schema for structured output, and enable streaming; the operation sends these settings in a POST request to /research.

Inputs

  • Input (required) — The research task or question to investigate.
  • Options: Citation Format — Citation style for the report: APA, Chicago, MLA, or Numbered (default).
  • Options: Model — Research model: Auto (default), Mini for narrow questions, or Pro for complex, multi-angle research.
  • Options: Output Schema — A JSON Schema object to structure the research response. The value is parsed as JSON; invalid JSON raises an operation error.
  • Options: Stream — Whether to stream progress and incremental results using Server-Sent Events; defaults to false.

Output shape

A list of n8n items containing the API response as JSON.

The response is returned as JSON with input-item metadata. Although the Stream option description mentions Server-Sent Events, this operation uses the standard JSON API request helper and returns its response body.
