​

Using the node

The node can be used in 2 ways - as an individual HTTP request node, or a tool for an AI agent.

​

Individual node

To use the Decodo node by itself, connect it to an existing workflow. Once you add it, you can set the target URL and Geolocation. The node requests the target URL through a proxy in the chosen location, scrapes the page, and returns the response for use by downstream nodes, such as the HTML node to extract content. Below is an example setup:

​

AI Agent tool

You can connect the Decodo node to the AI Agent node as a tool. You don’t need to modify anything inside the node. Here’s what a simple setup would look like: With this setup, you can prompt the agent to scrape a website in order to extract information. The prompt must be detailed and specific to return the best results.

​

Bad prompt example

If your AI model does not have access to the most recent web information, the following question may fail:

who won NBA in 2025?

​

Good prompt example

The question is more likely to be answered by updating the prompt with an instruction to scrape a reliable source:

scrape wikipedia and tell me who won NBA in 2025

​

Parameters

When used as an AI tool, the following parameters are inferred automatically from messages: If used as an individual node, these parameters can be manually configured by double-clicking on the node.
