German Synonym Lookup

Look up German synonym groups in OpenThesaurus. The source example searches for Hallo.

Setup

In Open Flow, edit Query q in Look up German synonyms. Keep the JSON format and API URL. Set the User-Agent header to include your project’s homepage or contact email; the default is the Open Flow homepage. In n8n, set the word in OpenThesaurus. Its bundled client supplies n8n’s homepage as its User-Agent. Run manually.

Each run makes one search request and keeps the synonym groups in their returned order, including term labels and categories. It does not enable similar-spelling or substring options. Open Flow returns the group array and its count; n8n returns one item per group. No match produces an empty array in Open Flow and no result items in n8n.

Keep a visible OpenThesaurus link wherever you publish its results. Follow the service’s API usage conditions, including its contact header, rate limit and requirement to contact the maintainer before permanent use.

A service error or malformed response stops the run. There is no cache, history or automatic retry.

Changes to the source

• Use an explicit JSON HTTP request in Open Flow, with the required contact header.
• Expose the unchanged synonym groups and count in Open Flow.

Adapted from OpenThesaurus synonym workflow in Zie619/n8n-workflows. The source export does not identify a separate template author or license.

The collection’s MIT notice is pinned at a later revision. This is the collection notice at that revision; it does not establish a separate original template author’s license. Our changes are listed above; see repository licensing.
