Pricing

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing:

• Run start: $0.005 per run
• Workflow template saved: tiered from $0.00003912 per result on the Free plan to $0.000013 per result on the Diamond plan. Bronze price is $0.000034017 per result.

You control cost with maxItems. A Bronze-plan run saving 1,000 templates costs about $0.039 before Apify platform fees.

Tips for best results

• Use specific searches such as slack crm, lead generation, invoice, or ai agent for focused results.
• Use integrations when you need templates that include a specific app or node.
• Enable includeWorkflowJson only when you need to inspect or import workflow structure.
• Keep the first run small, then increase maxItems once the output shape matches your workflow.

Limits and caveats

• The actor extracts publicly available n8n workflow template data.
• Very restrictive filters can produce fewer results than maxItems.
• n8n may change public template fields over time; missing optional fields are returned as null or omitted.
• Workflow JSON is available only when n8n exposes it for the selected template.

Legality and responsible use

This actor collects public template information from n8n. Use the exported data responsibly, respect n8n's terms, and avoid using author details for spam or unsolicited bulk outreach. If you process personal data, make sure you have a valid legal basis and follow applicable privacy rules.
