What is n8n + Apollo?

Apollo is a B2B data platform that provides verified emails, company data, and prospecting tools. n8n allows you to automate how that data is used.

Step 1: Get Apollo API Key

1. Login to Apollo dashboard
2. Go to Settings → API
3. Copy your API key

⚠️ Keep your API key private.

Step 2: Setup HTTP Request in n8n

Apollo does not have a native n8n node, so we use the HTTP Request node.

• Method: POST
• URL: https://api.apollo.io/v1/mixed_people/search

Headers:

Content-Type: application/json
X-Api-Key: YOUR_API_KEY

Step 3: Search Leads

{
  "q_organization_domains": ["example.com"],
  "page": 1,
  "per_page": 5
}

This returns leads from Apollo database.
