Get API key
In this tutorial we will explain how to connect your N8N workflows with our SourceGeek platform using an API key. Follow the steps below to get started.
Step 1: Registration
Before creating the API you first need to register yourself on our platform. Go to https://app.sourcegeek.com and register with your LinkedIn account. More information about the registration process can be found here.
Step 2: Connecting with LinkedIn using our browser extension
After registering you need to install a small browser extension and set up a session. All information about this extension can be found here.
Step 3: Create an API key for n8n
The final step is to create an API key which you need in your n8n workflow. This key can be generated in the Settings menu or via https://app.sourcegeek.com/settings/integrations
Click on ‘Add Integration’ and select the n8n option by clicking on ‘Configure’. The key is now being generated and you can copy&paste it into our n8n node in the workflow.
