## Install

1. Create a Header Auth credential named `Authorization` whose value is `Bearer` followed by your OrcaRouter API key.
2. Add an HTTP Request node, choose Import cURL, paste the discover command below and select the credential.
3. Add a second HTTP Request node for the run call; its URL takes the tool id from the first node with the expression below.

## Code

### Find a tool (Import cURL)

```shell
curl -X POST https://api.orcarouter.ai/v1/tools/discover \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ORCAROUTER_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"q": "tiktok user profile", "limit": 3}'
```

### Run it (Import cURL)

```shell
curl -X POST "https://api.orcarouter.ai/v1/tools/$TOOL_ID/run" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ORCAROUTER_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"input": {"username": "nasa"}}'
```

### Run URL as an n8n expression

```text
https://api.orcarouter.ai/v1/tools/{{ $json.data.results[0].id }}/run
```
