About The Fastest N8n Templates Scraper

Need fresh n8n workflow ideas or want to analyze what others are building? This scraper pulls templates directly from n8n.io so you don't have to. I use it to grab templates by specific category or by the apps they integrate with, like Slack or Google Sheets. You can sort them, filter the results, and get everything back in clean, structured JSON. It saves me a ton of time I’d otherwise spend manually browsing. If you're an automation developer looking for inspiration, a business planning a new workflow, or just curious about trending n8n use cases, this tool gets you the raw data fast. The structured output makes it easy to import into your own analysis or project planning tools. It’s basically a direct pipeline from the n8n community’s public creativity into your workspace.
