Use Workfloows API to get data

Actions6

Overview

This node integrates with the Workfloows API to perform a deep search for companies similar to a given company website URL. It is designed to find lookalike companies by analyzing the provided URL and optionally focusing on a specific language for the research.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Market research to identify competitors or potential partners.
  • Lead generation by discovering companies similar to a known client.
  • Enriching CRM data with related company profiles.
  • Business intelligence tasks requiring company similarity insights.

For example, providing the URL of a tech startup’s website can return a list of other startups with similar profiles, helping sales or marketing teams target relevant prospects.

Properties

Name Meaning
URL Full URL of the company web page to analyze (must include protocol, e.g., https://).
Simplify Whether to return a simplified version of the response instead of the raw API data.
Options Additional options for the deep search:
- Language The language to focus on during the research. Available options: Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Turkish. Default is English.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the results of the deep similar companies search.

  • If Simplify is enabled (default), the output contains a response.job object that includes job metadata about the asynchronous deep search request.
  • If Simplify is disabled, the full raw API response is returned, which may include detailed job status and results when available.

The output is structured as an array of objects, each corresponding to one input item processed.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Workfloows API.
  • The node makes HTTP requests to the Workfloows API endpoints.
  • No additional external dependencies are required beyond the API access.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid or missing URL: Ensure the URL property includes the full URL with protocol (http:// or https://). Missing or malformed URLs will cause API errors.
  • API authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
  • Language option issues: If specifying a language, ensure it is one of the supported options; otherwise, the API may reject the request.
  • Asynchronous job handling: The deep similar companies search runs asynchronously. The initial response contains a job ID; users may need to query job status separately if they want to wait for completion.
  • Network or connectivity problems: Check network access to the Workfloows API endpoint.
