Automate Product Data Extraction with n8n & Google Sheets

Streamline your e-commerce processes with our robust n8n workflow that automates the extraction of product data from webpages directly into Google Sheets. Say goodbye to the tedious task of manual data input and let technology do the heavy lifting for you. This workflow is designed to read a list of URLs from a Google Sheets spreadsheet, scrape each webpage to capture product data, and output the results in a structured format, all with just a few clicks.

What this workflow does:

• Initiates when you manually trigger it, ensuring complete control over when data extraction occurs.
• Seamlessly reads a predefined list of webpage URLs from a Google Sheets document.
• Utilizes the ScrapingBee API to fetch a full-page screenshot for each URL, ensuring comprehensive data capture.
• Employs Google Gemini to extract product details from each screenshot, perfectly structuring the data into JSON format. If needed, it calls on ScrapingBee's HTML fetch capabilities for any supplemental data.
• Converts fetched HTML to Markdown as necessary, feeding it back to the Gemini agent for complete data extraction.
• Effortlessly splits extracted product data, appending individual items as new rows in the Google Sheets "Results" sheet.
