Web Site Scraper for LLMs with Airtop

Recursive Web Scraping

Use Case
Automating web scraping with recursive depth is ideal for collecting content across multiple linked pages—perfect for content aggregation, lead generation, or research projects.

What This Automation Does
This automation reads a list of URLs from a Google Sheet, scrapes each page, stores the content in a document, and adds newly discovered links back to the sheet. It continues this process for a specified number of iterations based on the defined scraping depth.

Input Parameters: Seed URL: The starting URL to begin the scraping process.
Example: https://example.com/ Links must contain: Restricts the links to those that contain this specified string.
Example: https://example.com/ Depth: The number of iterations (layers of links) to scrape beyond the initial set.
Example: 3

How It Works
Starts by reading the Seed URL from the Google Sheet. Scrapes each page and saves its content to the specified document. Extracts new links from each page that match the Links must contain string, appends them to the Google Sheet. Repeats steps 2–3 for the number of times specified by Depth - 1.
