Build a Reddit no-API weekly digest with ScrapeOps and Google Sheets
UnknownWhat this workflow does
This workflow has 17 nodes and runs on a schedule (every day). Along the way it connects Google Sheets and Scrapeops (community).
How it runs
Trigger: On a schedule (every day).
- Configure Subreddits & Week Range (Code): runs custom JavaScript code
- Split Subreddits Into Batches (Loop Over Items (Split in Batches)): loops over the items in batches
- Read Existing Posts from Sheet (Google Sheets): uses Google Sheets
- Scrape Ops: uses Scrape Ops
- Build Weekly Digest (Code): runs custom JavaScript code
- Merge: merges the data from its input branches
- Polite Delay (1–3s) (Wait): pauses before continuing
- Append Weekly Digest to Sheet (Google Sheets): append
- Deduplicate New Posts (Code): runs custom JavaScript code
- Parse Listing HTML → Post Metadata (Code): runs custom JavaScript code
…plus 6 more steps. See the full node list below.
