Using API key

To configure this credential, you'll need a registered Wolfram ID (opens in a new tab) and:

• An App ID

To get an App ID:

1. Open the Wolfram|Alpha Developer Portal and go to API Access (opens in a new tab).
2. Select Get an App ID.
3. Enter a Name for your application, like n8n integration.
4. Enter a Description for your application.
5. Select Simple API as the API.
6. Select Submit.
7. Copy the generated App ID and enter it in your n8n credential.

Refer to Getting Started in the Wolfram|Alpha Simple API documentation (opens in a new tab) for more information.

Resolve Forbidden connection error

If you enter your App ID and get an error that the credential is Forbidden, make sure that you have verified your email address for your Wolfram ID:

1. Go to your Wolfram ID Details (opens in a new tab).
2. If you don't see the Verified label underneath your Email address, select the link to Send a verification email.
3. You must open the link in that email to verify your email address.

It may take several minutes for the verification to populate to the API, but once it does, retrying the n8n credential should succeed.
