Web scraping & screenshot automation with GPT 4.1 mini and Firecrawl

🔍 Overview

This template uses Firecrawl’s /search API to perform AI-powered web scraping and screenshots — no code required. Just type natural language prompts, and an AI Agent will convert them into precise Firecrawl queries.

⚙️ Setup

  1. Get your Firecrawl API Key from https://firecrawl.dev
  2. Add it to n8n using HTTP Header Auth:
    • Key: Authorization
    • Value: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

🚀 What It Does

  • Turns natural language into smart search queries
  • Scrapes web data and captures full-page screenshots
  • Returns titles, links, content, and images

💡 Example

Input: > Find AI automation pages on YouTube (exclude Shorts)

Result:

{
  "query": "intitle:AI automation site:youtube.com -shorts",
  "limit": 5
}
