You can connect n8n to nexos.ai to access multiple AI models (Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, and more) through a single API endpoint. This allows you to switch models without changing providers or managing multiple API keys.<\/p>

If you deployed n8n and added nexos.ai AI Credits via the Hostinger Docker Catalog, your nexos.ai API key has already been generated and is available in hPanel.<\/p>

This guide explains how to retrieve your nexos.ai API key and configure it in n8n.<\/p>

Get your nexos.ai API key<\/h2>

If you purchased nexos.ai AI Credits with your VPS or later in hPanel, your API key is automatically generated. To find it:<\/p>

    \n
  1. Log in to hPanel<\/li>\n
  2. Go to VPS<\/b> → select your server<\/li>\n
  3. Open Docker Manager<\/b><\/li>\n
  4. In the Projects<\/b> list, locate the nexos.ai AI credits card<\/b> at the top<\/li>\n<\/ol>

    \"nexos.ai
    \nThere you will see:<\/p>

      \n
    • Your current nexos.ai AI credit balance<\/li>\n
    • A Copy key button<\/li>\n<\/ul>

      Click Copy key<\/b> to copy your Nexos.ai API key. This key will be used inside n8n.<\/p>

      Configure nexos.ai credentials in n8n<\/h2>

      After retrieving your API key, open your n8n instance and navigate to the Credentials section. Create a new credential and select the OpenAI credential type. Although you are using nexos.ai, it provides an OpenAI-compatible gateway API, which is why this credential type must be selected. In the credential configuration:<\/p>

        \n
      • Enter your copied nexos.ai API key in the API Key field.<\/li>\n
      • Set the Base URL to https:\/\/api.nexos.ai\/v1<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>

        \"nexos.ai<\/p>

        Save the credential. If everything is configured correctly, n8n will confirm that the connection was successful.<\/p>

        Using nexos.ai models in your n8n workflow<\/h2>

        Once the credential is created, you can use it in any OpenAI-based node inside n8n. For example, you can add an OpenAI Chat Model node to your workflow and select your nexos.ai credential under the connection settings.<\/p>

        In the Model dropdown, you will be able to choose from the AI models supported by nexos.ai, including Claude Sonnet, Claude Opus, GPT-4.1, Gemini 3 Flash, Grok 4, and other available options.<\/p>

        \"nexos.ai<\/p>

        When the workflow runs, n8n sends the request to nexos.ai instead of directly to a single provider. nexos.ai then routes the request to the selected model, and the cost is deducted from your Nexos AI Credits balance.<\/p>

        You can change models at any time without modifying your credential configuration. This makes it easy to optimize for cost, performance, or reasoning capabilities depending on your workflow requirements.<\/p>

        Important: disable the Responses API in n8n<\/h2>

        When using the OpenAI Chat Model node in n8n, make sure that the “Use Responses API” option is turned off.<\/p>

        nexos.ai uses the OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions endpoint, not the newer Responses API. If the Responses API toggle is enabled, requests may fail or return errors.<\/p>

        \"Response<\/p>

        Using nexos.ai with n8n provides a unified AI gateway that simplifies automation workflows. Instead of managing separate OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or xAI accounts, you connect once to nexos.ai and gain access to multiple providers through a single API endpoint.<\/p>

        This approach improves flexibility, centralizes billing, and allows you to experiment with different AI models without changing infrastructure or redeploying your workflows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
