Item List Output Parser#

Use the Item List Output Parser node to return a list of items with a specific length and separator.

Examples and templates

For usage examples and templates to help you get started, refer to n8n's Item List Output Parser integrations page.

Parameter resolution in sub-nodes

Sub-nodes behave differently to other nodes when processing multiple items using an expression.

Most nodes, including root nodes, take any number of items as input, process these items, and output the results. You can use expressions to refer to input items, and the node resolves the expression for each item in turn. For example, given an input of five name values, the expression {{ $json.name }} resolves to each name in turn.

In sub-nodes, the expression always resolves to the first item. For example, given an input of five name values, the expression {{ $json.name }} always resolves to the first name.

Node options#

  • Number of Items: the maximum items to return. Set to -1 for unlimited items.
  • Separator: the separator used to split the results into separate items. Defaults to a new line.
