Konomic + n8n
Self-hosted, open-source automation. Build PDF pipelines on your own infrastructure with the Konomic API.
n8n is the open-source alternative to Zapier and Make. You self-host it on your own server, which means your workflow data never touches a third-party SaaS — perfect for privacy-conscious teams, regulated industries, or anyone who hates per-operation pricing.
With Konomic's REST API and n8n's HTTP Request node, you can wire up sophisticated PDF workflows without writing custom code. Trigger from any source, transform with built-in nodes, send results anywhere.
Why n8n + Konomic?
Workflow data stays on your servers. Konomic processes only what you send via API.
n8n is free for self-hosted. Pay only for Konomic API operations.
Inspect, fork, and modify. Audit the entire pipeline yourself.
Self-host in EU, use Konomic's EU API — full GDPR compliance.
Setup with HTTP Request node
n8n doesn't need a custom Konomic node — you call our REST API directly via the built-in HTTP Request node.
- Install n8n via Docker or npm:
docker run -it -p 5678:5678 n8nio/n8n - Get your Konomic API key from the dashboard (Business tier required)
- In n8n, add an HTTP Request node
- Set Method: POST, URL:
https://konomic.io/api/v1/[tool-name] - Add header:
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY - Send PDF as multipart/form-data binary
- Process the response (download URL or base64 result)
Example: OCR pipeline

Available on the Business tier. n8n itself is free if you self-host.
