Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Usage Resources

Installation

Follow the installation guide in the n8n community nodes documentation. Once installed, search for Cloudmersive Virus Scan in the node picker.

Operations

This node currently supports the following resources and operations:

File

  • Scan — Scan a binary file from the incoming item.

  • Advanced Scan — Scan a binary file with 360° content protection controls (block macros, scripts, restrict file types, etc.).

    • Optional: Override File Name header for content-aware scanning.

Required input

  • Binary Property Name — defaults to data.

Advanced controls (Advanced Scan):

  • Booleans: allowExecutables, allowHtml, allowInsecureDeserialization, allowInvalidFiles, allowMacros, allowOleEmbeddedObject, allowPasswordProtectedFiles, allowScripts, allowUnsafeArchives, allowXmlExternalEntities

  • Multi-select Options (sent as a comma-separated options header):

    • blockInvalidUris, blockOfficeXmlOleEmbeddedFile, permitAuthenticodeSignedExecutables, permitJavascriptAndHtmlInPDFs, scanMultipartFile

  • Restrict File Types — comma-separated extensions to permit (e.g., .pdf,.docx,.png).

Website

  • Scan — Scan a website URL for malicious content and threats. Input: URL (http/https)

Credentials

The Cloudmersive Virus Scan API is free to use. You can get a free API key that does not expire by going to Cloudmersive and signing up. You can use Cloudmersive SaaS or your own Cloudmersive Private Cloud.

Compatibility

  • n8n: built and tested on n8n v1.x
  • Runtime: standard n8n Docker and desktop builds
  • If you run an older n8n version and encounter issues, please update to a recent 1.x build.

Usage

To use the service, simply drop the node into your flow and pass in a file as the data parameter. Look at the CleanResult attribute returned as part of the output to confirm if your file passed the scan.

Common patterns

A) Scan an uploaded file (Webhook → Virus Scan)

  1. Webhook node receives a file (ensure Binary Data is enabled).

  2. Cloudmersive Virus Scan → File → Scan

    • Binary Property Name: data (or your property name)

  3. Use an IF node to branch on the scan result (the node returns the Cloudmersive response JSON; check the “clean/dirty” flags or threat details relevant to your policy).

B) Advanced scan with restrictions

  • Choose File → Advanced Scan and set Advanced Controls:

    • For example, disable scripts/macros, and set Restrict File Types to .pdf,.docx.

  • Optional: set Override File Name for better content handling.

C) Scan a website

  • Choose Website → Scan and provide the URL (http/https).

Output

  • The node returns the raw Cloudmersive API JSON response on items[0].json.
  • Use standard n8n nodes (IF, Set, Switch) to branch, extract fields, and handle positives/negatives per your workflow.

Tips

  • For large files, ensure your n8n instance has sufficient upload limits and memory.
  • If you run Cloudmersive Private Cloud, set the Base URL in credentials so traffic never leaves your network.
