Automate Stock Data Scraping and Tracking with n8n
detail.loadingPreview
Effortlessly automate the extraction and tracking of real-time stock market data. This n8n workflow leverages ScrapegraphAI to pull information from financial websites and saves it to Google Sheets for easy analysis.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow provides a powerful solution for staying on top of stock market performance. It begins with a scheduled trigger, allowing you to define the frequency of your data collection. The core of the workflow utilizes ScrapegraphAI to intelligently scrape specified financial websites, such as Yahoo Finance, extracting key stock metrics like current price, change, volume, and market capitalization. The extracted data is then processed by a JavaScript code node for formatting, ensuring it's ready for your chosen destination. Finally, the workflow seamlessly integrates with Google Sheets, appending the structured stock data to your spreadsheet for historical tracking, trend analysis, and informed decision-making.
Key Features
- Automated Data Collection: Schedule regular fetching of stock data at your preferred intervals.
- Intelligent Web Scraping: Utilize ScrapegraphAI with natural language prompts to extract specific financial metrics.
- Customizable Data Extraction: Define a precise schema for the data you want to capture.
- Seamless Google Sheets Integration: Automatically append scraped data to your chosen spreadsheet.
- Flexible Formatting: Prepares data for easy analysis and manipulation in spreadsheets.
How To Use
- Configure the Schedule Trigger: Set the desired frequency for your workflow to run (e.g., daily, hourly).
- Set up the ScrapegraphAI Node:
- Website URL: Provide the URL of the financial website you want to scrape (e.g., Yahoo Finance).
- User Prompt: Clearly describe the stock information you need and specify the desired output schema. For example:
Extract stock information from this site. Use the following schema for response { "symbol": "AAPL", "current_price": "225.50", "change": "+2.15", "change_percent": "+0.96%", "volume": "45,234,567", "market_cap": "3.45T" }.
- Configure the Code Node: The provided JavaScript code is designed to format the scraped data correctly. Ensure it aligns with the schema defined in the ScrapegraphAI node.
- Set up the Google Sheets Node:
- Connect your Google Account: Authorize n8n to access your Google Sheets.
- Document ID: Specify the ID or URL of your target Google Sheet.
- Sheet Name: Define the name of the sheet where data will be appended.
- Column Mapping: Ensure the columns in your Google Sheet match the schema output from the Code node.
