Overview

This n8n template automates Walmart product discovery and sends clean results to Google Sheets on a fixed schedule (default: every 4 hours). It uses ScrapeOps Proxy API for resilient page fetches (with JS render + scroll) and ScrapeOps Parser API for structured data extraction (title, price, rating, reviews, image, URL, sponsored flag). The result is a repeatable, low-maintenance workflow for market research, price monitoring, and assortment tracking; ideal for ops and growth teams that need fresh data without babysitting scrapers.

Who is this for?

  • E-commerce operators tracking price & inventory signals
  • Market/competitive analysts building price baskets and trend views
  • Growth & SEO teams validating product coverage and SERP facets
  • No-code/low-code builders who prefer visual pipelines over custom code

What problems it solves

  • Reliability: Offloads JS rendering and scrolling to ScrapeOps to reduce breakage.
  • Structure: Normalizes fields for analysis-ready rows in Sheets.
  • Scale: Runs on a timer; no manual downloading or copy-paste.
  • Speed to value: Simple setup, minimal credentials, immediate output.

How it works

  1. Schedule triggers every 4 hours.
  2. Keyword builds a Walmart search URL.
  3. ScrapeOps Proxy API fetches HTML (render + scroll).
  4. ScrapeOps Parser API extracts structured product fields.
  5. Validate & format rows; drop empties/bad prices.
  6. Append to Google Sheets for reporting/dashboards.
  7. (Optional) Slack posts a summary with your results link.

Set up steps (~5–10 minutes)

  • Google Sheets: Duplicate the template and paste your link in the Google Sheets node.
  • ScrapeOps API: Get a free key here and add it under Credentials → ScrapeOps API. See docs.
  • Keyword: Update the search term in Set Search Parameters.
  • (Optional) Configure the Slack node or remove it.

Pre-conditions

  • n8n instance running with outbound internet access.
  • Google account with access to the destination Sheet.
  • ScrapeOps account + API key with sufficient quota.
  • Basic familiarity with editing node parameters in n8n.
