The 3 Best Ways to Scrape ANY Website (n8n Tutorial)
In this video, I break down the top 3 ways to scrape any website inside n8n, from a simple static page to a complex, dynamic site that requires JavaScript.
We'll cover:
- Method 1: The HTTP Request Node (Pros: Fast, free, and built-in. Cons: Can't handle JavaScript and gets messy.)
- Method 2: Firecrawl (Pros: Handles JavaScript, returns clean Markdown, and uses proxies. Cons: Requires an API key.)
- Method 3: Apify (Pros: Handles large-scale scraping of complex sites like LinkedIn & Amazon with pre-built "Actors." Cons: Can get expensive.)
