trust me, bro:
here is the receipt.
the claim

AS REPORTEDno primary record reached; this is what the reporting says
Is it true that for standing waves on a string, a node is a location where there is no motion and an anti-node is a location where there is maximum motion?
Yes. Multiple physics references and educational resources confirm that for standing waves on a string, nodes are points of zero motion (minimum amplitude) and antinodes are points of maximum motion.
