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 🙏

Readme

n8n-nodes-hack-club-search

This is an n8n community node. It lets you use the Hack Club Search API in your n8n workflows.

Access Hack Club's search capabilities directly from your n8n workflows.

n8n is a fair-code licensed workflow automation platform.

Table of Contents

Installation

Follow the installation guide in the n8n community nodes documentation.

Operations

This node presently supports search operations for general web results, as well as images, news, and videos.

Credentials

An API key is required in order to issue calls to the Hack Club Search API. Configure your API credentials in the n8n interface before using this node.

Compatibility

Tested locally against n8n v1.93.0.

Usage

You should familarize yourself with the various response objects, to understand what data is provided by the API, and how to access individual insights. Response object formats are available in the Hack Club Search API documentation.

Resources

Development

To streamline and accelerate the development process, follow these steps:

Quick Start (Recommended)

  1. Install n8n globally (pnpm add -g n8n).
  2. Install dependencies: pnpm install
  3. Run the full development environment: pnpm run dev:full
  4. Open the n8n editor UI in your browser (typically at http://localhost:5678).

The dev:full script automatically:

  • Builds the project
  • Starts TypeScript compilation in watch mode
  • Launches n8n with the proper environment variables set
  • Enables hot reloading for development

Manual Development Setup

If you prefer to run commands separately:

  1. Install n8n globally (pnpm add -g n8n).
  2. Install dependencies: pnpm install
  3. Build the project: pnpm build
  4. Start TypeScript watch mode: pnpm dev
  5. In a separate terminal, start n8n: pnpm run dev:n8n

Alternative: System Environment Variables

You can also set environment variables manually if preferred:

  • Set N8N_CUSTOM_EXTENSIONS to the /dist directory of this repository
  • Set N8N_DEV_RELOAD to true
  • Run pnpm run dev and n8n start separately

You should now be able to search for and use the Hack Club Search node in your n8n workflows.

First-Time Setup Notes

Important: When launching n8n locally for the first time, the startup process may take 1-2 minutes to initialize. Wait for the "Editor is now accessible via web browser" message in the terminal before opening your browser.

On first access to http://localhost:5678, you'll be prompted to create an admin user account for your local n8n instance.

Remember: You'll need to configure your Hack Club Search API credentials in the n8n interface before the node will function. See the Credentials section above for API key information.

If you encounter issues or need to start fresh, you can reset n8n to its initial state by running n8n user-management:reset.
