Node Features

OAuth2 Token

This node allows you to:

• Select an OAuth2 credential from your n8n instance
• Choose a field name where the access token will be inserted
• Retrieve a valid access token from the selected credential
• Combine the token with input data

Example:

If your input data is:

{
  "foo": 1
}

And you configure the node to output the token in the field "accessToken", the output will be:

{
  "foo": 1,
  "accessToken": "your-oauth2-access-token-here"
}

The node uses the built-in OAuth2 credential management of n8n, so token refreshing is handled automatically when needed.

4. Link to your local n8n instance: npm link
