💡 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
I wanted a system to monitor website content changes and notify me. So I made it using n8n.
Especially my competitor blogs. I wanted to know how often they are posting new articles. (I used their sitemap.xml file) (The below workflow may vary)
In the Below example, I used HackerNews for example.
Explanation:
- First HTTP Request node crawls the webpage and grabs the website source code
- Then wait for x minutes
- Again, HTTP Node crawls the webpage
- If Node compares both results are equal if anything is changed. It’ll go to the false branch and notify me in telegram.
