Get an n8n workflow template
Automatically get an n8n workflow template on n8n.io. Read one template of the n8n workflow gallery (n8n.io/workflows) by its id: name, url, full description (Markdown), creation and update dates, views, price and purchase link (price 0 or null for a free template), creator, categories, the community nodes it needs (a template with any runs on self-hosted n8n only), its complexity as the node count and the count of each node type (sticky notes included), the apps it uses, and the workflow itself (nodes and connections) as n8n imports it. A paid template's nodes come without their settings. Its view count comes from the template's own page and can be higher than the one n8n.io/search_templates sorts by. An id with no template fails with a clear message: get ids from n8n.io/search_templates.
Input

FAQ
Get n8n Community forum thread messages
Read one n8n Community forum thread (community.n8n.io) by its id or url: the thread's title, category, tags, author, dates, views, likes, post count, closed and archived state and accepted answer, and its messages (posts) in thread order, 20 per page. Each message has its post number, url, author username and display name, creation and edit dates, the post it replies to, its like count, whether it is the accepted answer, and its text as Markdown (code blocks, links, images and quotes kept). Moderator actions (a thread closed, pinned, moved) are messages with an `action` code and no text. Pass `page` to read further: nextPage is null on the last page, and a page past the end returns no messages. A thread that does not exist, or is private or deleted, fails with a clear message.
Get n8n Community forum category threads
List the threads (topics) of one n8n Community forum category (community.n8n.io), one page at a time, with the forum's own sorts: latest, hot, or top over a period, optionally ordered by a column (views, posts, likes, created, activity) and filtered by a tag. A parent category also lists its subcategories' threads, each with its own categoryId. Returns per thread its id, title, url, categoryId, author, last poster, creation and last post dates, post count (the opening post included), views, likes, tags, pinned, closed, archived, whether it has an accepted answer, and the excerpt the forum shows (pinned threads only). Pages hold 30 threads (50 for top); nextPage is null on the last page, and a page past the end returns no threads. Pass a thread's id or url to community.n8n.io/get_thread_messages to read it. An unknown category or tag fails with a clear message: get category ids from community.n8n.io/list_categories.
Search n8n workflow templates
Search the n8n workflow template gallery (n8n.io/workflows) by text and category, sorted by relevance, popularity (views) or date, one page at a time. Without a query it lists every template, so sort popular gives the most viewed templates of the gallery. Returns the total number of matches, whether a next page exists, and per template its id, name, url, views, price and purchase link (price 0 or null for a free template), creation date, creator, the apps it uses and its description, plus the 10 categories with the most matches and their counts. A search with no match, or a page past the end, returns an empty list. Pass a template's id to n8n.io/get_template for its nodes, complexity and workflow JSON.
