SharpAPI for n8n. Turn resumes and invoices into clean, structured JSON, and score candidates against a job, inside your n8n workflow.
Powered by SharpAPI. Each node is a single, focused step. No glue code, no polling logic to maintain.
| Node | What it does |
|---|---|
| Invoice Parser | Extract structured data from invoices and delivery orders with AI OCR, powered by SharpAPI |
| Resume Job Match Score | Score a resume against a job description across 20 dimensions with AI, powered by SharpAPI |
| Resume Parser | Parse resumes and CVs into structured JSON with AI, powered by SharpAPI |
Follow the community nodes installation guide and use the package name @sharpapi/n8n-nodes-sharpapi.
Self-hosted, from the CLI:
mkdir -p ~/.n8n/nodes
cd ~/.n8n/nodes
npm install @sharpapi/n8n-nodes-sharpapiThen restart n8n.
All nodes share one credential, so the key is entered once.
- Create an account at sharpapi.com and generate an API key in the dashboard.
- In n8n, add a SharpAPI API credential and paste the key.
- The credential test calls
GET /ping, so a green check means the key is valid.
Every node takes its file in one of two ways, chosen with Input Type:
- Binary File (default): connect any node that produces a file (Gmail, Google Drive, HTTP Request, Read/Write Files from Disk, Form Trigger, Webhook) and set Input Binary Field to the field holding it, usually
data. A Form Trigger names the field after the form field's label. - File URL: the node downloads the file from a public HTTP or HTTPS URL itself. The download is sent without your SharpAPI key.
Every node also sets usableAsTool, so an AI Agent can call it mid-conversation. n8n hands a tool only the arguments the model chose, never the files in the conversation, so use File URL as the input type when you attach a node as a tool, and let the model fill it in: click the sparkle icon next to File URL, or set it to {{ $fromAI('fileUrl', 'URL of the document to process', 'string') }}. Try it with this sample invoice.
Drop an invoice PDF or photo into n8n and get accounting-ready JSON out. Extracts invoices and delivery orders (PDF, scans, photos) into structured JSON with AI OCR.
Accepted file formats: PDF, JPG, JPEG, JPE, PNG, TIFF, TIF, including scans and photos.
- Automate accounts payable from a shared mailbox to your accounting system
- Digitise supplier delivery orders and match them against purchase orders
- Batch-extract a backlog of scanned invoices from cloud storage
- Feed spend data into a BI dashboard without manual entry
| Option | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Simplify Output | true | Returns the parsed result instead of the full job envelope |
| Poll Interval (Seconds) | 5 | Used when the API sends no Retry-After header |
| Max Wait Time (Seconds) | 300 | Node fails once exceeded |
Output: document metadata, invoice header fields, references, e_invoice block, seller and buyer blocks with addresses and bank details, sales_info, financials with tax_details[], line_items[] with per-line pricing and tax, payment terms and logistics. A single file may contain several invoices, so each detected invoice is returned as its own n8n item.
