n8n Workflow Templates Scraper

n8n is a powerful workflow automation platform with over 10,000 community-created templates spanning AI, sales, marketing, IT ops, and more. Each template showcases a ready-to-use automation built with n8n nodes and can be imported directly into any n8n instance.

Introduction

This Apify scraper extracts structured data from the n8n workflow templates catalog. It collects template metadata including titles, descriptions, categories, view counts, author profiles, and the nodes used in each workflow — no API key required.

Use Cases

• Market research: Analyse which automation categories and integrations are most popular in the n8n ecosystem
• Competitive intelligence: Track trending workflow templates and identify gaps in the automation market
• Content discovery: Find templates for specific use cases such as AI agents, CRM integrations, or data pipelines
• Creator analytics: Monitor the most-viewed templates and their authors for partnership or outreach purposes

Input

Provide the following fields:

• startUrls (array, required): URLs to scrape. Use https://n8n.io/workflows/ to scrape the full listing, or supply individual workflow URLs such as https://n8n.io/workflows/1750-creating-an-api-endpoint/
• maxItems (integer, optional): Maximum number of workflow templates to scrape per start URL (default: 5)
• proxyConfiguration (object, optional): Proxy settings for the scraper

Input Examples

1) Scrape the latest workflow templates

{
  "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://n8n.io/workflows/" }],
  "maxItems": 50
}

2) Scrape specific workflow templates by URL

  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://n8n.io/workflows/1750-creating-an-api-endpoint/" },
