Daily Sarcastic X Tweet n8n Workflow: NewsAPI + Groq + Trends

Turn today’s hottest headlines into a daily sarcastic X post—automatically

This n8n workflow runs every day at 11:00 to find trending topics from NewsAPI and Google Trends, uses Groq-hosted LLMs with short-term memory to pick the best matching theme, then generates a funny sarcastic tweet and publishes it to X (Twitter).

What this workflow does

• Scheduled daily execution: Starts automatically at 11:00 via a scheduled trigger.
• Fetches two real-time inputs: Pulls popular breaking/viral stories from NewsAPI and retrieves the Google Trends RSS feed (example: India via geo=IN).
• Normalizes and merges sources: Converts the Google Trends RSS XML to JSON, normalizes both feeds into a common list, and merges the items.
• Reduces token usage: Trims the merged set to a capped collection of short titles/descriptions.
• Ranks and selects the best overlapping topic: Uses Groq LLM nodes plus a small rolling memory to favor cross-source matches and recurring themes.
• Generates and posts: Uses Groq to write one short, sarcastic tweet, then posts it to X for your selected account.

Use cases

• SaaS operators who want daily social engagement from timely tech/business news without manual writing.
• Automation engineers building an end-to-end content pipeline combining RSS, LLM reasoning, and social posting in n8n.
• News/marketing teams looking for consistent, topical humor based on real trends and headlines.

Technical details

• Nodes / components: http request, xml, code, merge, twitter, and a sticky note for workflow guidance.
• Integrations: NewsAPI (replace YOUR_NEWSAPI_KEY), Google Trends RSS, Groq (LLM + short-term/rolling memory), and X (Twitter) via OAuth2.
• Configurable: Adjust the Google Trends RSS URL (e.g., geo=IN) and the scheduled run time if needed.
