Notion Templates Marketplace Scraper

Extract structured data from the public Notion Marketplace, including template titles, URLs, creators, categories, image URLs, duplicate counts, public template links, and optional rating/install signals.

This actor is designed for researchers, template creators, productivity consultants, and digital-product teams who need repeatable Notion template market intelligence without manually browsing category pages.

What does Notion Templates Marketplace Scraper do?

Notion Templates Marketplace Scraper reads public pages on notion.com/templates and converts embedded marketplace data into clean dataset rows.

It can scrape:

• Notion template category pages
• Creator profile pages
• Individual template detail pages
• The main Notion templates landing page
• Multiple paginated category pages in one run

The actor is HTTP-first and reads Notion's public Next.js data, so it does not need a Notion account, workspace token, browser automation, or private API key.

Who is it for?

Use this scraper if you are:

• 🧩 A Notion template creator tracking competing templates
• 📈 A digital-product researcher studying profitable template niches
• 🧑‍💼 A Notion consultant monitoring creator portfolios and category movement
• 🧠 A productivity marketer researching popular workflows and template positioning
• 🛒 A marketplace analyst comparing category size, creator activity, and public template signals

Why use this actor?

Manual Notion Marketplace research is slow. Category pages contain dozens or thousands of templates, and creator portfolios change over time. This actor lets you collect rows consistently, export them to CSV/JSON/Excel, and compare snapshots across runs.

What data can you extract?

How much does it cost to scrape Notion templates?

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing:

• $0.005 start charge per run
• Per-template item charge by Apify plan: FREE $0.000040558, BRONZE $0.000035268, SILVER $0.000027509, GOLD $0.000021161, PLATINUM $0.000014107, DIAMOND $0.00001

Concrete examples at the FREE tier:

• 10 templates: about $0.00541 total ($0.005 start + 10 items)
• 100 templates: about $0.00906 total
• 1,000 templates: about $0.04556 total

At the BRONZE tier, a 100-template category scan is about $0.00853. Users with Apify's free monthly credits can typically run hundreds to thousands of lightweight template rows before exhausting the free platform allowance, depending on other actor usage and Apify plan limits.

You control cost with maxItems, maxPagesPerStartUrl, and includeDetails. Keep detail enrichment disabled for broad category scans, then enable it for smaller high-value lists when you need rating and installation signals.

How to use Notion Templates Marketplace Scraper

1. Open the actor on Apify.
2. Add one or more Notion Marketplace URLs.
3. Set maxItems to the maximum number of template rows you need.
4. Set maxPagesPerStartUrl for category or creator pagination.
5. Leave includeDetails off for fast broad scans, or enable it for install/rating enrichment.
6. Start the run.
7. Export the dataset as CSV, JSON, Excel, XML, or HTML.

Example start URLs

Use any of these public Notion Marketplace URL patterns:

https://www.notion.com/templates/category/work
https://www.notion.com/templates/category/student-planner
https://www.notion.com/templates/category/project-management
https://www.notion.com/templates
https://www.notion.com/templates/habit-traacker-710
https://www.notion.com/@notion

Input configuration

startUrls

A list of Notion Marketplace URLs to scrape. Category pages are best for broad market research. Creator pages are best for portfolio tracking. Template detail pages are best for focused enrichment.

maxItems

Maximum number of template records to save across all start URLs.

maxPagesPerStartUrl

Maximum number of paginated category or creator pages to fetch for each start URL. Notion category pages usually expose about 24 templates per page.

includeDetails

When enabled, the actor fetches each template detail page to extract detail-only fields such as installationCount, ratingCount, ratingAverage, and reviewCount.

requestDelayMs

Delay between HTTP requests. Increase this for very large jobs or cautious monitoring runs.

Tips for best results

• Start with category pages for broad discovery.
• Use maxItems to cap spend during testing.
• Turn on includeDetails only when you need install and rating signals.
• Run the same category weekly to monitor new or changing templates.
• Combine category URLs to compare niches in one dataset.

Common workflows

Track a template niche

Run a category URL such as /templates/category/student-planner every week and compare new titles, creators, duplicate counts, and descriptions.

Research creator portfolios

Run creator profile URLs to collect all pinned and non-pinned templates exposed on that public page.

Build a lead list

Export creator names, creator URLs, categories, and template descriptions to identify agencies, consultants, and template sellers in a niche.

Monitor Notion template SEO angles

Collect titles and descriptions from high-volume categories, then analyze repeated keywords, positioning, and workflow language.

Integrations

You can send the dataset to:

• Google Sheets for weekly monitoring
• Airtable for creator research
• Notion for internal competitive research
• Slack alerts through Apify integrations
• Your CRM for creator outreach workflows
• BI tools for category and creator analysis

API usage

Node.js

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('automation-lab/notion-templates-marketplace-scraper').call({
  startUrls: [{ url: 'https://www.notion.com/templates/category/work' }],
  maxItems: 100,
  maxPagesPerStartUrl: 5,
  includeDetails: false
});
console.log(run.defaultDatasetId);

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient
import os

client = ApifyClient(os.environ['APIFY_TOKEN'])
run = client.actor('automation-lab/notion-templates-marketplace-scraper').call(run_input={
    'startUrls': [{'url': 'https://www.notion.com/templates/category/work'}],
    'maxItems': 100,
    'maxPagesPerStartUrl': 5,
    'includeDetails': False,
})
print(run['defaultDatasetId'])

cURL

curl -X POST 'https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/automation-lab~notion-templates-marketplace-scraper/runs?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"startUrls":[{"url":"https://www.notion.com/templates/category/work"}],"maxItems":100,"maxPagesPerStartUrl":5}'

MCP usage

Use Apify MCP with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, or VS Code to run this actor from natural-language workflows.

MCP endpoint pattern:

https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=automation-lab/notion-templates-marketplace-scraper

Claude Code setup:

$claude mcp add apify-notion-templates "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=automation-lab/notion-templates-marketplace-scraper"

Claude Desktop JSON config example (add this server under mcpServers in your Desktop config file):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify-notion-templates": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=automation-lab/notion-templates-marketplace-scraper"
    }
  }
}

Cursor setup uses the same server JSON in Cursor's MCP settings. VS Code MCP extensions also use the same mcpServers entry; paste the endpoint above as the server URL and name it apify-notion-templates. In all clients, keep the ?tools=automation-lab/notion-templates-marketplace-scraper query so the assistant exposes this actor directly instead of the entire Apify tool catalog.

Example prompts:

• "Scrape 100 templates from the Notion work templates category and summarize the top creator niches."
• "Run the Notion Templates Marketplace Scraper for student planner templates and export the dataset as CSV."
• "Compare creators from two Notion template categories and identify repeated positioning themes."

Legality and ethical use

This actor extracts publicly available Notion Marketplace page data. It does not access private Notion workspaces, private pages, user accounts, or authenticated APIs. Always use the data responsibly, respect applicable laws, and follow Notion's terms and policies for your use case.

FAQ

Why do some rating or install fields show null?

Those fields are available only from template detail pages. Enable includeDetails to fetch each template detail page. Some templates may still not expose ratings or reviews.

Why did I get fewer templates than the category count?

Notion category pages are paginated. Increase maxPagesPerStartUrl and maxItems to collect more rows.

Why are price fields not included?

Notion's public embedded data does not consistently expose a normalized price field on the tested pages. The actor extracts public template and listing fields that are available without login.
