💡 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
This workflow contains community nodes that are only compatible with the self-hosted version of n8n.
This workflow automatically monitors competitor pricing changes and website updates to keep you informed of market movements. It saves you time by eliminating the need to manually check competitor websites and provides alerts only when actual changes occur, preventing information overload.
