This workflow contains community nodes that are only compatible with the self-hosted version of n8n.

Description

This n8n workflow automatically scrapes Airbnb listings from a specified location and saves the data to a Google Sheet. It performs pagination to collect listings across multiple pages, extracts detailed information for each property, and organizes the data in a structured format for easy analysis.

How it Works

The workflow operates through these high-level steps:

• Search Initialization: Starts with an Airbnb search for a specific location (London) with defined check-in/check-out dates and guest count
• Pagination Loop: Automatically processes multiple pages of search results using cursor-based pagination
• Data Extraction: Parses listing information including names, prices, ratings, reviews, and URLs
• Detail Enhancement: Fetches additional details for each listing (house rules, highlights, descriptions, amenities)
• Data Storage: Saves all collected data to a Google Sheet with proper formatting
• Loop Control: Continues until reaching the page limit (2 pages) or no more results are available
