What problem is this workflow solving?

Manually browsing Etsy to analyze product listings, pricing, reviews, and seller activity is slow, inconsistent, and unscalable. Scraping Etsy requires unlocking JavaScript-heavy content and structuring noisy data for analysis.

This workflow solves:

• Automated and scalable scraping of Etsy product listings using Bright Data’s infrastructure.

• A fully paginated data structured Estry production data extraction via the Google Gemini LLM.

• Enables faster decision-making for product research and competitive analysis via the fully automated paginated data extraction.

What this workflow does

• Uses Bright Data's Web Unlocker to extract content from relevant sites.

• Cleans and preprocesses the scraped content for readability.

  • Enriched results including:

    • Data persistence over the disk.

    • Sends the response to a target system via Webhook notification.
