About This Workflow
Overview
This n8n workflow leverages the power of Firecrawl, an AI-driven web scraping service, to extract clean and structured content from any given URL. It utilizes the HTTP Request node to send a POST request to the Firecrawl API, specifying parameters for content extraction, format (JSON, Markdown, raw HTML, links), and exclusion of unwanted HTML tags like iframes, headers, and footers. The workflow is designed to extract only the main content of a webpage, making it ideal for content aggregation and analysis. The executeWorkflowTrigger node serves as the starting point, accepting a URL as input, which is then passed to the scrape_url node for processing. The AI prompt within the jsonBody of the HTTP Request node is crucial for guiding Firecrawl to identify and extract the verbatim main content, along with relevant, high-resolution image URLs, while excluding promotional material and navigation elements.
Key Features
- AI-powered extraction of main web content.
- Supports multiple output formats: JSON, Markdown, raw HTML, and links.
- Intelligent filtering of unwanted HTML tags and elements.
- Extraction of relevant, high-resolution image URLs from the main content.
- Configurable retry mechanism for failed requests.
How To Use
- Trigger the workflow by providing a URL to the
workflow_triggernode. This can be done manually or through an external trigger. - Ensure your Firecrawl API key is correctly configured in the
HTTP Requestnode's credentials. - The
scrape_urlnode will send the URL and extraction parameters to the Firecrawl API. - The API will return structured content (main text and image URLs) in JSON format.
- Process the output from the
scrape_urlnode for your desired application, such as saving to a database, displaying on a website, or further analysis.
