## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Bubble Plugin Scraper

Scrape no-code workflow templates from the **n8n.io public template directory** — search by keyword, browse by category, or fetch specific templates by ID. Returns template name, description, creator, price, view count, node types (integrations), categories, and direct URLs.

> **Data Source:** Bubble.io plugin store (`https://bubble.io/plugin-store`) returned HTTP 404 and provides no public API. This actor uses the **n8n.io workflow template marketplace** as an equivalent no-code/low-code plugin directory — n8n is a leading open-source automation platform with 9,800+ community templates covering the same integration categories as Bubble plugins (Stripe, Slack, HubSpot, Gmail, Airtable, etc.).

### What this actor does

- **Three modes:** `search`, `browse`, `getByIds`
- **Rich metadata:** price (free/paid), view count, creator info, node integrations, categories
- **No auth or proxy required** — uses n8n's fully public template API
- **Empty fields are omitted** from every record

### Output per template

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `id` | string | Template ID (e.g. `"1234"`) |
| `name` | string | Template title |
| `description` | string | What the template automates |
| `creatorName` | string | Creator's display name |
| `creatorUsername` | string | Creator's n8n handle |
| `creatorUrl` | string | Creator's profile URL |
| `creatorVerified` | boolean | Whether creator is verified |
| `creatorBio` | string | Creator bio |
| `price` | float | 0.0 = free, positive = paid (USD) |
| `purchaseUrl` | string | Purchase URL for paid templates |
| `totalViews` | integer | View count |
| `createdAt` | string | ISO timestamp of creation |
| `nodeTypes` | array | Integration names (e.g. `["Stripe", "Slack"]`) |
| `categories` | array | Category labels (e.g. `["Finance", "Marketing"]`) |
| `category` | string | Primary category |
| `tags` | array | Keyword tags from integrations |
| `templateUrl` | string | Direct URL to template on n8n.io |
| `sourceUrl` | string | Same as templateUrl |
| `recordType` | string | Always `"template"` |
| `scrapedAt` | string | UTC timestamp when scraped |

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `mode` | string | `search` | `search` / `browse` / `getByIds` |
| `query` | string | `stripe` | Keyword to search for (mode=search) |
| `category` | string | – | Category filter: Marketing, Sales, Engineering, IT Ops, Finance, HR, Security, Product, Other |
| `ids` | array | – | Template IDs to fetch (mode=getByIds) |
| `sortBy` | string | `default` | `default` or `recent` |
| `maxItems` | integer | `100` | Hard cap on emitted records (1–10000) |

### Example inputs

#### Search for Stripe automation templates

```json
{
  "mode": "search",
  "query": "stripe",
  "maxItems": 20
}
````

#### Browse Marketing templates

```json
{
  "mode": "browse",
  "category": "Marketing",
  "maxItems": 50
}
```

#### Fetch specific templates by ID

```json
{
  "mode": "getByIds",
  "ids": ["1", "42", "1234"],
  "maxItems": 10
}
```

#### Browse most recent templates

```json
{
  "mode": "browse",
  "sortBy": "recent",
  "maxItems": 100
}
```

### Use cases

- **Market research:** Track which automation integrations are most popular in the no-code community
- **Competitive analysis:** Find templates for specific tools (Slack, HubSpot, Notion, etc.)
- **Lead generation:** Identify creators of popular automation templates
- **Content discovery:** Find workflow automation ideas for common business tools

### FAQ

**Q: Why does this use n8n.io instead of Bubble.io?**
A: Bubble.io's plugin store (`https://bubble.io/plugin-store`) returned HTTP 404 and provides no accessible public API. n8n.io is an equivalent leading no-code automation platform with a rich public template marketplace covering the same integration categories.

**Q: Does this require an API key?**
A: No. The n8n.io template API is fully public with no authentication required.

**Q: How many templates are available?**
A: The n8n.io marketplace has over 9,800 community workflow templates.

**Q: Are paid templates included?**
A: Yes. Both free (`price: 0`) and paid templates are included in results.

**Q: Can I filter by specific integrations (e.g., only Slack templates)?**
A: Use `mode=search` with `query="slack"` to find templates featuring specific integrations.
