n8n-nodes-rapidapi-marketplace-api

An n8n community node that searches the RapidAPI marketplace and returns structured API listings: name, pricing, category, popularity, success rate, publisher, and a link to each API. It is backed by the RapidAPI Marketplace API on Apify and bills per result, so there are no subscriptions and no minimums.

What it does

Give the node a search term, and it returns one item per API with the name, pricing model, category, popularity score, success rate, publisher, and page URL. Turn on Fetch Detailed Info to enrich each result with billing plans, ratings, subscriber counts, readme text, and more. It also works as an AI Agent tool, so an agent can discover APIs on demand.

• Search the RapidAPI marketplace for any keyword
• Filter by category, and sort by relevance, trending, last updated, or alphabetical
• Extract a specific RapidAPI page or collection by URL
• Choose how much data to return per API: Simplified, Raw, or Selected Fields

Installation

Follow the n8n community nodes installation guide:

1. In n8n, open Settings > Community Nodes.
2. Select Install.
3. Enter n8n-nodes-rapidapi-marketplace-api as the npm package name.
4. Agree to the risks of using community nodes, then select Install.

After it installs, the RapidAPI Marketplace node appears in the nodes panel.

n8n Cloud only allows verified community nodes. Until this node is verified, install it on a self-hosted n8n instance.

Credentials

You need a free Apify account and an API token.

1. Sign in to the Apify Console.
2. Open Settings > Integrations and copy your Personal API token.
3. In n8n, create a new Apify API credential and paste the token.
4. Use the credential's Test button to confirm it works.

The node also supports Apify OAuth2 if you prefer to connect that way.

Operations

API > Search returns marketplace APIs that match a search term.

| Parameter | Description | | --- | --- | | Search Term | Keyword to search the marketplace for. Leave this and Listing URL empty to return all APIs. | | Category | Optional. Restrict results to a single category, for example Finance or Weather. | | Sort By | Relevance, Trending, Last Updated, or Alphabetical. | | Sort Order | Ascending or Descending. | | Maximum Results | How many API listings to return for the search term. | | Fetch Detailed Info | Enrich each result with billing plans, ratings, readme, subscriber count, website, and long description. | | Listing URL | Optional. A RapidAPI page or collection URL to extract directly. | | Output | How much data to return: Simplified, Raw, or Selected Fields. |

Output

Each API is returned as its own n8n item. The API returns more than ten fields per result, so the Output parameter lets you choose how much to return:

• Simplified (default): a compact object with name, title, description, pricing, category, popularityScore, avgSuccessRate, publisher, and url. This mode is also used automatically when the node runs as an AI Agent tool, to keep responses small.
• Raw: every field the API returns for each result, using the original field names below.
• Selected Fields: pick exactly which fields to include.

Fields (Raw and Selected Fields)

| Field | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | result_type | string | Row kind: api_listing, api_detail, or error | | id | string | Unique RapidAPI identifier for the API | | name | string | API name | | title | string | Display title of the API | | description | string | Short API description | | longDescription | string | Extended API description (detail rows only) | | slugifiedName | string | URL-friendly API slug | | pricing | string | Pricing model (FREE, FREEMIUM, PAID, PAYPERUSE) | | category | string | Primary marketplace category | | createdAt | string | When the API was first published (detail rows only) | | updatedAt | string | When the API was last updated | | status | string | API lifecycle status (detail rows only) | | visibility | string | API visibility on the marketplace | | apiType | string | Transport type of the API (detail rows only) | | popularityScore | number | RapidAPI popularity score (0 to 10) | | avgLatency | number | Average response latency in milliseconds | | avgServiceLevel | number | Average service level percentage | | avgSuccessRate | number | Average request success rate percentage | | ratingScore | number | Average user rating out of 5 (detail rows only) | | ratingVotes | integer | Number of user ratings (detail rows only) | | subscriptionsCount | integer | Number of marketplace subscribers (detail rows only) | | websiteUrl | string | Publisher website (detail rows only) | | publisher | string | API publisher name | | publisherUsername | string | API publisher slug or username | | tags | array | Version tags attached to the API | | billingPlans | array | Full subscription plans with prices and quotas (detail rows only) | | versions | array | API version history (detail rows only) | | readme | string | API documentation readme text (detail rows only) | | thumbnail | string | API thumbnail image URL | | url | string | Public RapidAPI page for the API | | searchTerm | string | The search term this row was returned for | | error_message | string | Human-readable detail for error rows |

Example workflows

1. Build a spreadsheet of APIs in a category

1. Manual Trigger.
2. RapidAPI Marketplace: Search Term translation, Sort By Trending, Output Simplified.
3. Google Sheets / Airtable: append name, pricing, popularityScore, and url.

2. Compare pricing and reliability across APIs

1. Manual Trigger.
2. RapidAPI Marketplace: your search term, Fetch Detailed Info on.
3. Set: keep name, pricing, billingPlans, avgSuccessRate, and ratingScore for a comparison table.

3. Let an AI Agent discover APIs

1. AI Agent node.
2. Attach RapidAPI Marketplace as a tool.
3. Ask "Find weather APIs with a free tier." The agent calls the node (in Simplified mode) and returns matching APIs.

Pricing

This node calls the RapidAPI Marketplace API on Apify, which is billed pay-per-result, with no subscription and no minimums. Apify also includes a free monthly usage tier that covers typical volumes. See the Actor page for current rates.
