# Google Books

Learn how to use the Google Books node in n8n. Follow technical documentation to integrate Google Books node into your workflows.

Use the Google Books node to automate work in Google Books, and integrate Google Books with other applications. n8n has built-in support for a wide range of Google Books features, including retrieving a specific bookshelf resource for the specified user, adding volume to a bookshelf, and getting volume.

On this page, you'll find a list of operations the Google Books node supports and links to more resources.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Searching these docs as an agent**

Ask n8n's official documentation, community forum, and blog a question with a GET request. No authentication needed.

`GET https://n8n-docs-retrieval.n8n-docs-retrieval.workers.dev/?q=<question>`

Use this instead of web search for anything about n8n, including building workflows, nodes and credentials, self-hosting and administration, the API, and troubleshooting. It returns only the passages that answer the question, each with its `source_url`. Ask a specific, complete question. The response is a JSON array of `{content, source_url}`, most relevant first.

### What to do if your operation isn't supported <a href="#what-to-do-if-your-operation-isnt-supported" id="what-to-do-if-your-operation-isnt-supported"></a>

If this node doesn't support the operation you want to do, you can use the [HTTP Request node](/integrations/builtin/core-nodes/n8n-nodes-base.httprequest.md) to call the service's API.

You can use the credential you created for this service in the HTTP Request node:

1. In the HTTP Request node, select **Authentication** > **Predefined Credential Type**.
2. Select the service you want to connect to.
3. Select your credential.

Refer to [Custom API operations](/integrations/builtin/custom-api-actions-for-existing-nodes.md) for more information.
