Workflow name
Automate data extraction with Zyte AI (Products, Jobs, Articles & More)

Automated AI Web Scraper

This workflow uses the Zyte API to automatically detect and extract structured data from E-commerce sites, Articles, Job Boards, and Search Engine Results (SERP) - no custom CSS selectors required.

It features a robust "Two-Phase Architecture" (Crawler + Scraper) that handles pagination loops, error retries, and data aggregation automatically, ensuring you get a clean CSV export even for large sites with thousands of pages.

If you prefer to use your own parsing logic and just need raw data, it provides a "Manual Mode" for that capability as well.

Supported Modes

  • E-commerce / Product: Extract prices, images, SKUs, and availability.
  • Articles / News / Forums: Extract headlines, body text, authors, and dates.
  • Job Boards / Postings: Extract salaries, locations, and descriptions.
  • SERP (Search Engine Results): Extract search rankings, organic results, and snippets.
  • General Scraping: Get raw BrowserHtml, HTTP Response codes, Network API traffic, or Screenshots to parse yourself.

How it works

  • Input: You enter a URL and choose a goal (e.g., "Scrape all pages") via a user-friendly form.
  • Smart Routing: A logic engine automatically configures the correct extraction model for the target website.
  • Two-Phase Extraction: (Active only for "Scrape all pages") Phase 1 maps out all available URLs (Crawling), and Phase 2 extracts the rich data (Scraping), filtering out errors before saving to CSV.

Set up steps

  1. Get your API Key: You need a free Zyte API key to run the AI extraction. Get it here.
  2. Run: Open the Form view, paste your key, select your target website, and hit Submit.
  3. Export: The workflow will process the data and output a downloadable CSV file.

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/11637/11637.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
