n8n + Hi Energy AI API

Automate Hi Energy AI with n8n

Use n8n to schedule and orchestrate Hi Energy AI REST calls without custom servers. The built-in HTTP Request node authenticates with X-Api-Key, sends query filters, and returns JSON you can map into Google Sheets, Slack, Notion, databases, or downstream AI nodes.

Authentication in n8n

Prefer the X-Api-Key header. In n8n, create a credential so the key is not stored as plain text inside the workflow canvas.

1. Open Credentials → create Header Auth (or HTTP Header Auth).
2. Name: X-Api-Key
3. Value: your personal Hi Energy AI API key
4. On the HTTP Request node, set Authentication to that credential

X-Api-Key: YOUR_API_KEY
Accept: application/json

Setup checklist

1. Copy your API key from the API key page.
2. Create an n8n Header Auth credential named X-Api-Key.
3. Add a Manual Trigger or Schedule Trigger, then an HTTP Request node.
4. Set Method GET and URL to https://app.hienergy.ai/api/v1/deals (or another resource below).
5. Attach the credential, set Accept: application/json, and add query parameters.
6. Execute the node, inspect JSON, then connect Sheets, Slack, or a database node.

HTTP Request examples

Configure each example as an n8n HTTP Request node. Replace query values as needed. Full field reference lives on each resource documentation page.

Pagination pattern

List endpoints typically accept page and per_page (or limit). In n8n:

1. Start with page=1 and a stable per_page (for example 50).
2. Use a Loop / Split In Batches pattern that increments page after each successful response.
3. Stop when the returned collection is empty or shorter than per_page, or when next_page is missing.
4. Respect rate limits on rate-limited endpoints: 1,000 requests/hour for non-exempt Hi Energy accounts and 10,000/hour for other non-exempt scopes; paid users and the extension account are exempt.
