DataForSEO

Overview

The node integrates with the DataForSEO API to retrieve financial exploration data from Google Finance SERP (Search Engine Results Page). Specifically, the "Get Finance Explore" operation fetches curated financial news and market insights based on a specified location and language. This is useful for users who want to monitor financial news trends, top stories, or market updates tailored to a particular region and language.

Practical examples include:

  • Gathering top financial news headlines for a specific country to feed into a financial dashboard.
  • Monitoring local or world market news to inform investment decisions.
  • Aggregating finance-related news content for media or research purposes.

Properties

Name Meaning
Location Full name of the search engine location to target the financial news (e.g., "United States"). Supported locations are listed in the DataForSEO docs.
Language Full name of the search engine language to specify the language of the financial news results (e.g., "English"). Supported languages are documented.
News Type Type of financial news to retrieve. Options:
- Empty (no filter)
- Top Stories
- Local Market
- World Markets

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects representing the financial news and market data retrieved from the DataForSEO API. Each item typically contains structured information about finance-related news articles or market summaries relevant to the selected location, language, and news type.

If binary data were involved (not indicated here), it would represent downloadable content such as images or documents related to the finance news, but this operation focuses on JSON data only.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active DataForSEO API key credential configured in n8n.
  • The node makes POST requests to the DataForSEO v3 API endpoint (https://api.dataforseo.com/v3).
  • Proper configuration of the API key credential in n8n is necessary for authentication.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing API credentials will cause authentication errors.
    • Incorrect or unsupported location or language names may result in empty responses or errors.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls.
  • Error messages:

    • "Something went wrong": Generic error if the requested resource-operation combination is not found or improperly configured.
    • API-specific errors returned by DataForSEO (e.g., invalid parameters) should be checked against the API documentation.
  • Resolutions:

    • Verify that the API key credential is correctly set up and has sufficient permissions.
    • Double-check the spelling and validity of the Location and Language input values using the official DataForSEO supported lists.
    • Ensure stable internet connection and no firewall restrictions blocking API access.
