About This Workflow
Overview
This n8n workflow automates the process of web scraping. It starts by fetching content from a specified URL using the Jina Fetch node, which leverages Jina AI for efficient data retrieval. The retrieved HTML content is then processed by the Information Extractor node, powered by an AI model (likely from Langchain), to extract structured data based on a predefined schema. Finally, the Split Out node breaks down the extracted data into individual items, which are then appended to a Google Sheets document using the Save to Google Sheets node. This workflow solves the problem of manually extracting data from websites and organizing it into a spreadsheet, making it efficient for data collection and analysis.
Key Features
- Automated Web Scraping: Fetches content from web pages programmatically.
- AI-Powered Extraction: Utilizes AI models to extract specific data points from unstructured text.
- Structured Data Output: Defines a schema for extracting desired information (e.g., title, price, availability, URLs).
- Google Sheets Integration: Seamlessly saves scraped and extracted data into a Google Sheet for easy access and analysis.
- Customizable Schema: Allows users to define the specific fields to extract from web content.
How To Use
- Configure Jina Fetch: Update the URL in the
Jina Fetchnode to the target website you want to scrape. Ensure your Jina AI credentials are set up. - Define Extraction Schema: In the
Information Extractornode, meticulously define theinputSchemato specify the exact data fields you wish to extract (e.g., 'title', 'price', 'availability', 'product_url', 'image_url'). Also, configure thesystemPromptTemplateto guide the AI on how to perform the extraction and ensure the output is a JSON array named 'results'. - Set Up Google Sheets: In the
Save to Google Sheetsnode, provide the correctdocumentIdandsheetNamefor your Google Sheet. Ensure the columns in your sheet match the fields defined in your extraction schema. Configure the node to 'append' new data. - Test and Run: Trigger the workflow by clicking 'Test workflow' on the
When clicking "Test workflow"node. Monitor the execution to verify data is being scraped, extracted, and saved correctly.
