AI Powered Web Scraping with Jina, Google Sheets and OpenAI : the EASY way

Purpose of workflow: The purpose of this workflow is to automate scraping of a website, transforming it into a structured format, and loading it directly into a Google Sheets spreadsheet.

How it works:

Web Scraping: Uses the Jina AI service to scrape website data and convert it into LLM-friendly text. Information Extraction: Employs an AI node to extract specific book details (title, price, availability, image URL, product URL) from the scraped data. Data Splitting: Splits the extracted information into individual book entries. Google Sheets Integration: Automatically populates a Google Sheets spreadsheet with the structured book data.

Step by step setup:

Set up Jina AI service: Sign up for a Jina AI account and obtain an API key.

Configure the HTTP Request node: Enter the Jina AI URL with the target website. Add the API key to the request headers for authentication.

Set up the Information Extractor node: Use Claude AI to generate a JSON schema for data extraction. Upload a screenshot of the target website to Claude AI. Ask Claude AI to suggest a JSON schema for extracting required information. Copy the generated schema into the Information Extractor node.

Configure the Split node: Set it up to separate the extracted data into individual book entries.

Set up the Google Sheets node: Create a Google Sheets spreadsheet with columns for title, price, availability, image URL, and product URL. Configure the node to map the extracted data to the appropriate columns.
