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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ![banner](https://i.ibb.co/84NKmxZK/n8n-io-workflows.png) ## 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](https://n8n.io/workflows/). 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** ```json { "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://n8n.io/workflows/" }], "maxItems": 50 } ```` **2) Scrape specific workflow templates by URL** ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://n8n.io/workflows/1750-creating-an-api-endpoint/" }, { "url": "https://n8n.io/workflows/2183-ai-agent-that-can-scrape-webpages/" } ] } ``` ### Output Each dataset item contains fields like: ```json { "id": 1750, "url": "https://n8n.io/workflows/1750-creating-an-api-endpoint/", "name": "Creating an API endpoint", "description": "Prototype or replace a backend process with a single workflow...", "totalViews": 12345, "price": 0, "purchaseUrl": null, "categories": ["Engineering"], "status": "published", "createdAt": "2024-01-15T10:30:00.000Z", "author": { "name": "Jonathan", "username": "jon-n8n", "bio": "n8n team member", "verified": true, "avatar": "https://..." }, "nodes": [ { "id": 1, "name": "n8n-nodes-base.webhook", "displayName": "Webhook", "icon": "file:webhook.svg" }, { "id": 2, "name": "n8n-nodes-base.respondToWebhook", "displayName": "Respond to Webhook", "icon": null } ], "scrapedAt": "2024-01-15T10:30:00.000Z" } ``` ### Why use the n8n Workflow Templates Scraper? - **Fast**: Efficiently extracts data in bulk without browser overhead - **Easy to use**: Just provide the listing URL and set `maxItems` — no credentials needed - **Reliable**: Handles pagination automatically and retries failed requests - **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 API key. - **How many templates can I scrape?** There is no hard limit. Use the `maxItems` field to control the number of results. The catalog currently has over 10,000 templates. - **Is this scraper compliant with n8n's terms?** This scraper accesses only publicly available data. Always review n8n's terms of service before scraping. ### Need to scrape other data?
