OpenAI and ScrapeNinja integration

Save yourself the work of writing custom integrations for OpenAI and ScrapeNinja and use n8n instead. Build adaptable and scalable AI, workflows that work with your technology stack. All within a building experience you will love.

How to connect OpenAI and ScrapeNinja

Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Generate & test SQL code with GPT/OpenRouter AI and PostgreSQL sandbox

This is the core AI agent used for queryverify.com. Don't trust complex AI-generated SQL queries without double-checking them in a safe environment. That's where queryverify comes in. It automatically creates a test environment with the necessary data, generates code for your task, runs it to double-check for correctness, and handles errors if necessary. If you enable auto-fixing, queryverify will detect and fix issues on its own. If not, it will ask for your permission before making changes during debugging. In the end, you get thoroughly verified code along with full details about the environment it ran in. Setup It is an embedded chat for the website, but you can pin input data and run it on your own n8n instance. Input data sessionId: uuid\_v4. Required to handle ongoing conversations and to create table names (used as a prefix). threadId: string | nullable. If aiProvider is openai, conversation history is managed on OpenAI’s side. This is not needed in the first request—it will start a new conversation. For ongoing conversations, you must provide this value. You can get it from the OpenAIMainBrain node output after the first run. If you want to start a new conversation, just leave it as null. apiKey: string. Your API key for the selected aiProvider. aiProvider: string. Currently supported values: openai, openrouter. model: string. The AI model key (e.g., gpt-4.1, o3-mini, or any supported model key from OpenRouter). autoErrorFixing: boolean. If true, it will automatically fix errors encountered when running code in the environment. If false, it will ask for your permission before attempting a fix. chatInput: string. The user's prompt or message. currentDbSchemaWithData: string. A JSON representation of the database schema with sample data. Used to inform the AI about the current database structure during an ongoing conversation. Please use the '[]' value in the first request. Example string for filled db structure : '{"users":[{"id":1,"name":"John Doe","email":"[email protected]"},{"id":2,"name":"Jane Smith","email":"[email protected]"}],"products":[{"product_id":101,"product_name":"Laptop","price":999.99}]}' Make sure to fill in your credentials: Your OpenAI or OpenRouter API key Access to a local PostgreSQL database for test execution You can view your generated tables using your preferred PostgreSQL GUI. We recommend DBeaver. Alternatively, you can activate the “Deactivated DB Visualization” nodes below. To use them, connect each to the most recent successful Set node and manually adjust the output. However, the easiest and most efficient method is to use a GUI. Workflow Explanation We store all input values in the localVariables node. Please use this node to get the necessary data. OpenAI has a built-in assistant that manages chat history on their side. For OpenRouter, we handle chat history locally. That’s why we use separate nodes like ifOpenAi and isOpenAi. Note that if logic can also be used inside nodes. The AutoErrorFixing loop will run only a limited number of times, as defined by the isMaxAutoErrorReached node. This prevents infinite loops. The Execute_AI_result node connects to the PostgreSQL test database used to execute queries. Guidance on customization This setup is built for PostgreSQL, but it can be adapted to any programming language, and the logic can be extended to any programming framework. To customize the logic for other programming languages: Change instruction parameter in localVariables node. Replace the Execute_AI_result PostgreSQL node with another executable node. For example, you can use the HTTP Request node. Update the GenerateErrorPrompt node's prompt parameter to generate code specific to your target language or framework. Any workflows built on top of this must credit the original author and be released under an open-source license.
