n8n Community Creators Scraper

The n8n community at community.n8n.io is home to tens of thousands of workflow automation enthusiasts, power users, and professional builders. Users earn reputation through likes, solutions, and contributions — making engagement signals a reliable proxy for expertise. This scraper extracts community profiles sorted by engagement and cross-references them with public n8n creator pages and workflow catalogs.

Introduction

The n8n Community Creators Scraper lets you discover the most engaged members of the n8n community by scraping the community directory sorted by signals like likes received. For each user it fetches their community profile (bio, location, badge title, post count, solutions, gamification score) and, where available, links to their public n8n creator page with workflow count and verification status — no account or login required.

Use Cases

• Creator Discovery: Find the most active and well-regarded n8n community members ranked by likes received, post count, or solutions provided — ideal for locating experts and freelancers.
• Template Catalog Research: Identify community power users who also publish workflows on n8n.io, and surface their template libraries for inspiration or procurement.
• Lead Generation: Build lists of potential automation consultants or service providers by combining community reputation with published template volume.
• Market Research: Analyze who the top contributors are in the n8n ecosystem, their backgrounds, expertise signals, and public web presence.

Input

Provide the following fields:

• startUrls (array, required): n8n community user listing URLs to scrape, e.g. https://community.n8n.io/u?order=likes_received. Supports any valid order parameter (likes_received, post_count, solutions, likes_given, topic_count).
• maxItems (integer, optional): Maximum number of users to scrape per start URL (default: 5).
• proxyConfiguration (object, optional): Proxy settings for the scraper.

  "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://community.n8n.io/u?order=likes_received" }],

2) Top users by solutions provided

{
  "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://community.n8n.io/u?order=solutions" }],

3) Multiple sort orders in a single run

{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://community.n8n.io/u?order=likes_received" },
    { "url": "https://community.n8n.io/u?order=post_count" }
