Convert URL HTML to Markdown and Extract Page Links
Key Features and Highlights
This workflow leverages the Firecrawl.dev API to convert webpage HTML content into a structured Markdown format while simultaneously extracting all hyperlinks from the page. It supports batch processing of URLs and automatically manages request rates to avoid exceeding API limits, ensuring stable and efficient web content crawling and conversion.
Core Problems Addressed
- Converting complex webpage HTML into AI-friendly Markdown format by removing redundant HTML tags.
- Extracting all hyperlinks from webpages to facilitate subsequent data analysis or content mining.
- Automatically managing API request frequency to prevent service denial due to excessive requests.
- Supporting bulk URL imports from databases and automatic batch processing to enhance large-scale data crawling efficiency.
Use Cases
- Structuring large volumes of web content for training or analyzing large language models (LLMs).
- Content aggregation and information extraction projects requiring both webpage text and internal links.
- Bulk web content and link crawling for SEO, market research, or competitive analysis.
- Automating data collection workflows to reduce manual copy-paste operations.
Main Workflow Steps
- Manually trigger the workflow to start execution.
- Retrieve a list of webpage URLs from a user-defined data source (URL field named “Page”).
- Split the URL list into batches (up to 40 URLs, with actual requests sent in batches of 10).
- Request webpage content one by one via the Firecrawl.dev API, converting it to Markdown and extracting all page links.
- Handle API rate limiting to ensure no more than 10 requests per minute.
- Output the extracted data—including title, description, Markdown content, and links—to a user-specified data source (e.g., Airtable).
- Complete batch processing and await the next trigger.
Involved Systems or Services
- Firecrawl.dev API (provides webpage content conversion and link extraction)
- User-defined data sources (for URL input and result output, supporting databases like Airtable)
- n8n automation platform (handles workflow orchestration, rate limiting, and batch processing)
Target Users and Value Proposition
- Data analysts, content operators, and AI developers who need fast, bulk processing and structured output of web content.
- Technical teams requiring webpage content conversion to Markdown for AI or other downstream systems.
- Market research, SEO optimization, and content aggregation teams.
- Businesses and individuals aiming to automate web content crawling workflows to reduce manual effort and improve efficiency.
This workflow is designed by Simon (automake.io). Users only need to configure their Firecrawl API key and data sources to effortlessly automate web content crawling and conversion, enabling efficient data processing and content analysis.
Smart Factory Data Generator
The smart factory data generator periodically generates simulated operational data for factory machines, including machine ID, temperature, runtime, and timestamps, and sends it to a designated message queue via the AMQP protocol. This workflow effectively addresses the lack of real-time data sources in smart factory and industrial IoT environments, supporting developers and testers in system functionality validation, performance tuning, and data analysis without the need for real devices, thereby enhancing overall work efficiency.
HTTP_Request_Tool (Web Content Scraping and Simplified Processing Tool)
This workflow is a web content scraping and processing tool that can automatically retrieve web page content from specified URLs and convert it into Markdown format. It supports two scraping modes: complete and simplified. The simplified mode reduces links and images to prevent excessively long content from wasting computational resources. The built-in error handling mechanism intelligently responds to request exceptions, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the scraping process. It is suitable for various scenarios such as AI chatbots, data scraping, and content summarization.
Trustpilot Customer Review Intelligent Analysis Workflow
This workflow aims to automate the scraping of customer reviews for specified companies on Trustpilot, utilizing a vector database for efficient management and analysis. It employs the K-means clustering algorithm to identify review themes and applies a large language model for in-depth summarization. The final analysis results are exported to Google Sheets for easy sharing and decision-making within the team. This process significantly enhances the efficiency of customer review data processing, helping businesses quickly identify key themes and sentiment trends that matter to customers, thereby optimizing customer experience and product strategies.
Automated Workflow for Sentiment Analysis and Storage of Twitter and Form Content
This workflow automates the scraping and sentiment analysis of Twitter and external form content. It regularly monitors the latest tweets related to "strapi" or "n8n.io" and filters out unnecessary information. Using natural language processing technology, it intelligently assesses the sentiment of the text and automatically stores positively rated content in the Strapi content management system, enhancing data integration efficiency. It is suitable for brand reputation monitoring, market research, and customer relationship management, providing data support and high-quality content for decision-making.
Intelligent E-commerce Product Information Collection and Structured Processing Workflow
This workflow automates the collection and structured processing of e-commerce product information. By scraping the HTML content of specified web pages, it intelligently extracts key information such as product names, descriptions, ratings, number of reviews, and prices using an AI model. The data is then cleaned and structured, with the final results stored in Google Sheets. This process significantly enhances the efficiency and accuracy of data collection, making it suitable for market research, e-commerce operations, and data analysis scenarios.
My workflow 2
This workflow automatically fetches popular keywords and related information from Google Trends in the Italian region, filters out new trending keywords, and uses the jina.ai API to obtain relevant webpage content to generate summaries. Finally, the data is stored in Google Sheets as an editorial planning database. Through this process, users can efficiently monitor market dynamics, avoid missing important information, and enhance the accuracy and efficiency of keyword monitoring, making it suitable for content marketing, SEO optimization, and market analysis scenarios.
GitHub Stars Pagination Retrieval and Web Data Extraction Example Workflow
This workflow demonstrates how to automate the retrieval and processing of API data, specifically by making paginated requests to fetch the favorite projects of GitHub users. It supports automatic incrementing of page numbers, determining the end condition for data, and achieving complete data retrieval. Additionally, this process illustrates how to extract article titles from random Wikipedia pages, combining HTTP requests with HTML content extraction. It is suitable for scenarios that require batch scraping and processing of data from multiple sources, helping users efficiently build automated workflows.
Dashboard
The Dashboard workflow automatically fetches and integrates key metrics from multiple platforms such as Docker Hub, npm, GitHub, and Product Hunt, updating and displaying them in a customized dashboard in real-time.
