Is the Suggested SerpApi Node in n8n a Mistake?

I'm trying to extract keywords from Google Trends and post them to WordPress. I asked my AI assistant for help, and it recommended using the SerpApi (Google Search) node in n8n. However, I can't locate any node by that name. Is the AI hallucinating, or is the node listed under a different name?
Below is a screenshot of the issue:

Based on the n8n documentation, there is indeed a node called the SerpApi (Google Search) node. It isn’t a hallucination, but it might be a matter of how and where it appears in your node list. Here are a few points to consider:
-
Node Category: The SerpApi node is part of the LangChain integrations. In some versions or setups, nodes from integrations like LangChain might be organized differently. Try searching for “SerpApi” in the node picker or look under any integration or “Tools” category that might list LangChain nodes.
-
Version or Configuration: Your n8n instance (1.76.4) should ideally include the node. If you don’t see it, ensure that your instance is updated properly and that all available integrations are enabled.
-
Use Case Clarification: While you want to extract keywords from Google Trends and post them to WordPress, the SerpApi (Google Search) node is designed to call Google’s Search API, which may help if your workflow involves searching for data. If you’re specifically targeting Google Trends, double-check that the API you are using matches your exact use case.
If after verifying the above you still can’t locate the node, you may want to consult the n8n documentation or community forums for guidance on enabling additional integrations.
