Setting Up Your Automation Workflow
Creating an automated web scraping system in N8N is straightforward. Start by establishing a trigger for your workflow – this could be a schedule, a webhook, or any other event that initiates your automation sequence.
Connecting Fan Embuster to N8N
The first technical step involves adding the Fan Embuster Node to your workflow. You’ll need to connect your Fan Embuster account by entering your API key, which can be found in your Fan Embuster dashboard under the API keys tab. Simply select “Connect account” and paste your API key to establish the connection.
Selecting Your Phantom
Fan Embuster offers a comprehensive library of pre-built phantoms designed for various tasks. Whether you need to scrape product data from Amazon or extract email addresses from LinkedIn, there’s likely a phantom ready for your specific needs.
For demonstration purposes, the LinkedIn Profile Scraper phantom is an excellent example. In the Input fields, simply paste the LinkedIn Profile URLs you want to extract data from.
Executing Your Automation
After configuring your phantom with the necessary parameters, execute the node to initiate the automation process. N8N will send the request to Fan Embuster, which then handles the scraping operation and returns the results back to your N8N workflow.
Processing the Extracted Data
The true power of this integration becomes apparent in how you can process the extracted data. Connect the Fan Embuster Node to other nodes in N8N to further manipulate and utilize the information. Common next steps include:
- Adding the data to a Google Sheet
