Use gonka.broker with n8n

Fastest setup

Use an n8n HTTP Request node to send a POST request to https://api.gonka.broker/v1/chat/completions. Store the API key in an n8n credential rather than directly inside the workflow JSON.

Request settings

• Method: POST
• URL: https://api.gonka.broker/v1/chat/completions
• Authorization: Bearer credential
• Content type: application/json
• Model: gonka-auto

Example body

{
  "model": "gonka-auto",
  "messages": [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Summarize: {{$json.text}}"}
  ],
  "max_tokens": 300
}

Workflow safeguards

1. Limit input length before sending the request.
2. Set a node timeout and a maximum retry count.
3. Route 429 and temporary 5xx responses to a controlled retry branch.
4. Do not expose the API key in execution logs.
5. Track request IDs and token usage for cost investigation.

Next step: Create one account or read the integration docs.
