💡 Pro Tip — HTTP Request scraping tends to break when sites update their markup. If you’re scraping a major platform, check if ScraperNode covers it — it has maintained scrapers for LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and 20+ other platforms that return structured data.
Description
Get Forex Factory News Release to Telegram
This n8n template demonstrates how to capture Actual Data Releases as quickly as possible for trading decisions.
Use cases:
- Get notified if the actual data release is positive or negative for the relevant currency.
- Use the Telegram chat message about the news release as a trigger to open a trading position in MetaTrader 4.
How it works
- A news release event acts as the trigger.
- Only news with a numerical Forecast value will be processed. Events that cannot be measured numerically (e.g., speeches) are ignored.
- Extract news details: currency, impact level (high/medium), release date, and news link.
- Wait 10 seconds to ensure the Actual value is available on the news page.
- Scrape the Actual value from the news link using Airtop.
- If the Actual value is not available, wait another 5 seconds and retry scraping.
- Extract both Actual and Forecast values from the scraped content.
- Remove non-numeric characters (%, K, M, B, T) and convert values to numbers.
- Determine the effect: If the Actual value is lower than the Forecast value (and lower is better), send it to the True branch. Otherwise, send it to the False branch.
