Get started with n8n
Follow these steps to integrate GoScreenAPI into your n8n workflow.
Install the GoScreenAPI community node
In your n8n instance, go to Settings → Community Nodes → Install. Enter `n8n-nodes-goscreenapi` and click Install. Restart n8n if prompted.
Add your GoScreenAPI credentials
Go to Credentials → New Credential → GoScreenAPI API. Enter your API key from the GoScreenAPI dashboard. The node will use this credential for all requests.
Import the example workflow
Copy the workflow JSON below and paste it into n8n via Workflows → Import from clipboard. This gives you a ready-to-use screenshot workflow.
Configure the screenshot parameters
Open the GoScreenAPI node in the workflow. Set the URL, format (png/jpg/webp/pdf), and any advanced options like full_page, device, or selector.
Connect to your workflow and activate
Connect the GoScreenAPI node to your trigger (e.g., Webhook, Schedule, HTTP Request). The node outputs `image_url` which you can pass to any downstream node.

Automate on GoScreenAPI Events
The GoScreenAPI Trigger node lets n8n listen for events from GoScreenAPI — site down alerts, visual changes, screenshot completions. Your workflow fires automatically.
Uptime — Site Down
Fires when a monitored site goes down
Uptime — Site Recovered
Fires when a site comes back online
Uptime — SSL Expiry Warning
Fires when SSL certificate is about to expire
Visual Monitor — Change Detected
Fires when a visual change is detected
Screenshot — Completed
Fires when an async screenshot is ready
How to set up the Trigger Node
Add GoScreenAPI Trigger node
In n8n, search for "GoScreenAPI Trigger" and add it to your workflow. Select the event you want to listen for.
Copy the webhook URL
n8n generates a unique webhook URL for this node. Copy it from the node settings.
Paste into GoScreenAPI dashboard
Go to GoScreenAPI Dashboard → Uptime Monitors (or Visual Monitors) → Edit → Notifications → Webhook URL. Paste the URL and save.
Activate and test
Activate your n8n workflow. The next time an event fires (e.g., site goes down), n8n will receive the data and run your workflow.
