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.

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. ### Input Examples **1) Top users by likes received (default)** ```json { "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://community.n8n.io/u?order=likes_received" }], "maxItems": 50 } ```` **2) Top users by solutions provided** ```json { "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://community.n8n.io/u?order=solutions" }], "maxItems": 25 } ``` **3) Multiple sort orders in a single run** ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://community.n8n.io/u?order=likes_received" }, { "url": "https://community.n8n.io/u?order=post_count" } ], "maxItems": 20 } ``` ### Output Each dataset item contains fields like: ```json { "communityUrl": "https://community.n8n.io/u/BramKn/summary", "username": "BramKn", "name": "Bram Knuever", "avatarUrl": "https://community.n8n.io/user_avatar/community.n8n.io/bramkn/200/11894_2.png", "title": "n8n Expert Partner", "primaryGroup": "n8n_navigators", "trustLevel": 4, "likesReceived": 1585, "postCount": 2215, "solutions": 212, "gamificationScore": 3210, "acceptedAnswers": 212, "bio": "I am a Dutch n8n user. Have been using n8n for about 5 years now...", "website": "https://experts.n8n.io/partner/datafix-bv", "location": "Eindhoven, The Netherlands", "creatorPageUrl": "https://n8n.io/creators/BramKn/", "workflowsCount": 14, "verified": true, "creatorLinks": ["https://datafix.nl"], "scrapedAt": "2024-01-15T10:30:00.000Z" } ``` ### Why use the n8n Community Creators Scraper? - **Dual-source enrichment**: Combines community engagement metrics with creator page data in a single dataset — no need to manually cross-reference two sites. - **Easy to use**: Provide any community directory URL as input. No account or API key needed. - **Reliable**: Built on publicly available, structured data sources that return consistent results. - **Well-Maintained**: Maintained by Lexis Solutions, a certified Apify Partner. ### FAQ - **Do I need an n8n account to use this scraper?** No, the scraper works without any account or login. Both the n8n community directory and creator catalog are publicly accessible. - **What sort orders are supported?** Any valid `order` parameter the n8n community accepts: `likes_received`, `post_count`, `solutions`, `likes_given`, `topic_count`. Pass the URL with your preferred sort order as a start URL. - **Will every user have a `creatorPageUrl`?** No. Only users who have registered as creators on n8n.io will have a linked creator page. For users without a creator page, `creatorPageUrl`, `workflowsCount`, `verified`, and `creatorLinks` will be `null` or empty. - **Is this scraper compliant with n8n's terms?** This scraper accesses only publicly available data from the community directory and creator catalog. Always review the relevant terms of service before scraping. ### Need to scrape other automation community sites?
