Description
E-commerce Scraper Agent
This AI agent automates the extraction and structuring of product information from e-commerce websites, storing the data in Airtable for continuous updates. It streamlines competitor analysis, price monitoring, and product cataloging by leveraging Firecrawl for web scraping and OpenAI for intelligent data processing within an n8n workflow.
Manually collecting e-commerce data is time-consuming and error-prone. This agent automates the entire process, from web crawling to data storage, providing accurate, structured product information on-demand and freeing up valuable resources for strategic tasks.

- Initiates website crawls via a webhook trigger.
- Uses Firecrawl to scrape product pages based on a provided starting URL.
- Submits scraped markdown content to an OpenAI model for data extraction.

- Checks an Airtable base to determine if a product record already exists.
- Creates a new record in Airtable for new products.
- Updates existing Airtable records if changes are detected in product information.
