Collect workflow templates from n8n.io with complete information about automation workflows. Get creator profiles, workflow details, integration lists, and complete workflows ready to import into your n8n instance.

What This Actor Does

This Actor collects workflow templates from n8n.io's public template library. n8n is a workflow automation platform where users share their automation workflows.

What you get for each workflow:

• Workflow name, description, and view counts
• Creator information and verification status
• List of integrations and tools used

• Complete workflow data for free templates (ready to import into n8n)
• Basic information only for paid workflows

Use cases:

• Find automation workflow ideas and inspiration
• Research popular integration patterns
• Discover workflow creators and their work
• Build automation template collections
• Analyze workflow automation trends
• Import workflows into your n8n instance

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. You are charged per successfully scraped workflow (both free and paid workflows).

How it works:

• You pay for each workflow that is successfully collected
• Free workflows include complete workflow data for import
• Paid workflows include basic information only (to respect creators' intellectual property)
• No charges for failed requests or errors
• The Actor automatically stops when your spending limit is reached

Cost control:

• Set a spending limit in your Apify account before running
• The Actor respects your spending limits and stops automatically
• Monitor your usage in real-time through the Apify Console

What You'll Get

Every workflow includes:

• Name: The workflow's title
• Description: What the workflow does
• Views: How many people have viewed this workflow
• Created Date: When the workflow was published
• Link: Direct URL to view on n8n.io

Creator Information

Complete Workflow Data

For free workflows, you get the complete workflow data that includes:

• All workflow steps and their configurations
• How steps connect to each other

Pricing Information

Note about paid workflows: To respect creators' work, paid workflows are collected with basic information only (name, description, creator, integrations list) but without the complete workflow data. This ensures you can discover and purchase paid templates while protecting creators' intellectual property.
