# 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.
