Stop writing etherpad API integrations by hand.

Every time you connect n8n to etherpad, you waste hours mapping endpoints, defining parameters, and debugging schemas. You copy-paste from docs, fix edge cases, and pray nothing breaks.

What if connecting n8n to etherpad took 5 minutes, not half a day?

This node gives you 5+ resources out of the box: Pad, Author, Group, Session, Default: with full CRUD operations, typed parameters, and zero manual configuration.

What You Get

  • Zero boilerplate: Resources, operations, and fields are pre-configured and ready to use
  • Full CRUD: Create, read, update, and delete support where the API allows it
  • Typed parameters: No more guessing field types
  • Built-in auth: API key authentication, ready to go
  • Declarative: Native n8n performance, no custom execute() overhead
  • Install

    npm install @n8n-dev/n8n-nodes-etherpad
    

    Or in n8n:
    1. Settings → Community Nodes → Install
    2. Search: @n8n-dev/n8n-nodes-etherpad
    3. Click Install

    Quick Start

    1. Install the node (above)
    2. Add credentials: etherpad API → paste your API key
    3. Drag the etherpad node into your workflow
    4. Pick a resource → pick an operation → done.

    That’s it. No configuration files. No code. It just works.

  • Hours of manual API integration
  • Copy-pasting from etherpad docs
  • Debugging auth, pagination, error handling
  • Maintaining your own client code
  • With this node:

  • Install → configure → use. 5 minutes.
  • Auto-generated from the official etherpad OpenAPI spec
  • Always up to date when the API changes
  • Native n8n performance

Auto-Generated

This node was auto-generated from the official etherpad OpenAPI specification using
@n8n-dev/n8n-openapi-node-ultimate,
then validated against the live API so you get accurate types and real parameters, not guesswork.

When the etherpad API updates, this node updates too.
