n8n-nodes-anytype

An n8n community node for the Anytype API.

It supports the official Anytype API resources:

• Auth (Create Challenge, Create API Key)
• Search (Global and Space search)
• Spaces
• Lists
• Members
• Objects
• Properties
• Tags
• Types
• Templates
• Plus an API Request resource for custom endpoints and advanced use cases.

Installation

Follow the n8n community nodes installation guide.

Credentials

Create Anytype API credentials in n8n:

• Base URL:
  • Default: http://127.0.0.1:31009/v1
  • Change if your Anytype API is exposed elsewhere.
• API Version:
  • Default: 2025-11-08
  • Sent as the Anytype-Version header.
• API Key:
  • A token you pass as Authorization: Bearer <token>.

How to get an API key (Auth flow)

You can do this with the node itself:

1. Use Anytype → Auth → Create Challenge with an App Name
2. Check Anytype Desktop for the 4-digit code
3. Use Anytype → Auth → Create API Key with:
   • challenge_id from step 1
   • the 4-digit code

Copy the returned api_key into your n8n credential.

Notes on pagination

Most “Get Many” endpoints return:

{ "data": [...], "pagination": { "offset": 0, "limit": 100, "has_more": true, "total": 123 } }

This node automatically returns only the data array as n8n items when using “Get Many”.

If you need the full raw response (including pagination), use API Request.
