Use Workfloows API to get data

Actions6

Overview

This node integrates with the Workfloows API to find companies similar to a given company website URL. It sends the provided URL to the API, which returns a list of companies that resemble the target company based on various criteria. This is useful for market research, competitor analysis, lead generation, or discovering potential partners.

For example, if you input the URL of a tech startup, the node can return other startups with similar profiles, helping sales teams identify new prospects or analysts understand competitive landscapes.

Properties

Name Meaning
URL Full URL of the company’s website to analyze. Must include protocol (http:// or https://).
Simplify Whether to return a simplified version of the response instead of the raw API data.

Output

The node outputs a JSON array containing the API response data about similar companies. If "Simplify" is enabled, the output contains a streamlined list of similar companies extracted from the API's results, making it easier to consume in workflows. Otherwise, the full raw response from the API is returned.

No binary data is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Workfloows API.
  • The node makes HTTP POST requests to https://api.workfloo.ws/v0/companies/similar.
  • No additional environment variables are needed beyond the API key configuration.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid URL format: Ensure the URL includes the protocol (http:// or https://). Missing protocol will likely cause API errors.
  • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
  • Empty or unexpected responses: Check if the URL points to a valid company website. Some URLs may not have enough data for similarity matching.
  • Network issues: Confirm that your n8n instance can reach the Workfloows API endpoint without firewall restrictions.
