Python Code Node (Beta)

Expert guidance for writing Python code in n8n Code nodes.


⚠️ Important: JavaScript First

Recommendation: Use JavaScript for 95% of use cases. Only use Python when:

  • You need specific Python standard library functions
  • You're significantly more comfortable with Python syntax
  • You're doing data transformations better suited to Python

Why JavaScript is preferred:

  • Full n8n helper functions ($helpers.httpRequest, etc.)
  • Luxon DateTime library for advanced date/time operations
  • No external library limitations
  • Better n8n documentation and community support
