Orchestrate web crawls with Scrapyd and automated data enrichment
Ready for 3.0What this workflow does
This workflow has 21 nodes and runs manually, when you click “Execute workflow”. It uses only n8n's built-in nodes.
How it runs
Trigger: Manually, when you click “Execute workflow”.
- run_job (HTTP Request): calls an HTTP API (POST)
- job_list (HTTP Request): calls an HTTP API
- filter_job (Code): runs custom JavaScript code
- check_job_status (If): checks a condition and branches into true / false
- check_items (HTTP Request): calls an HTTP API
- job_log (HTTP Request): calls an HTTP API
- Wait: pauses before continuing
- Filter-result (Code): runs custom JavaScript code
- If: checks a condition and branches into true / false
- Respond to Webhook: sends the response back to the webhook caller
