Use the CatchAll community node to integrate structured web research directly into your n8n automation workflows.

​
Before you start

​
Install community node

1

Open community nodes settings

Navigate to Settings → Community Nodes in your n8n instance.
2

Install the CatchAll node

Enter the package name: n8n-nodes-newscatcher-catchall-pernode Click Install and wait for the installation to complete.
3

Verify installation

Create a new workflow and search for “Newscatcher” in the node panel. The CatchAll node should appear in your available nodes.

​
Configure credentials

1

Add CatchAll credentials

In any workflow, add the Newscatcher CatchAll node. Click the Credential to connect with dropdown and select Create New Credentials.
2

Enter your API key

Paste your CatchAll API key into the credential field and click Save.
Credentials are stored securely in your n8n instance and reused across workflows.

​
Create your first workflow

This example submits a CatchAll job, polls for completion, and retrieves results:
1

Submit a job

Add a Newscatcher CatchAll node with these settings:
  • Operation: Submit Job
  • Query: Tech company earnings this quarter
  • Context: Focus on revenue and profit margins
  • Schema: Company [NAME] earned [REVENUE] in [QUARTER]
The node outputs the job_id for the next step.
2

Wait for job completion

Add a Wait node set to 10 minutes. CatchAll jobs typically complete in 10-15 minutes.
3

Check job status

Add another Newscatcher CatchAll node:
  • Operation: Job Status
  • Job ID: {{ $json.job_id }} (from Submit Job node)
Connect this to a Loop that polls every 60 seconds until the status shows completed in the steps array.
4

Pull results

Add a final Newscatcher CatchAll node:
  • Operation: Pull Job Results
  • Job ID: {{ $json.job_id }}
This returns structured records with the enrichment object containing extracted data.
Field names in the enrichment object vary between jobs. See Dynamic schemas for handling variable response structures.

Troubleshooting

​
Node not found after installation

Solution: Restart your n8n instance. For self-hosted installations, restart the Docker container or service.

​
API key not recognized

Symptom: 403 Forbidden error Solution: Verify your API key is active in the platform dashboard. Create new credentials if needed.

​
Job takes too long

Symptom: Job doesn’t complete after 20 minutes Solution: Check job status using the Job Status operation. If stuck in a processing stage, contact support with the job_id.

​
Empty enrichment object

Symptom: Results return but enrichment contains no fields Solution: The query may be too broad or no matching content was found. Try refining your query with more specific context.
