Workflow Description: Product Data Extractor
Workflow Description: Product Data Extractor This workflow automates the extraction of product data from Product Hunt by combining webhook interactions, HTML processing, AI-based data analysis, and structured output formatting. It is designed to handle incoming requests dynamically and return detailed JSON responses for further usage. Overview The workflow processes a product name submitted through a webhook. It fetches the corresponding Product Hunt page, extracts and analyzes inline scripts, and structures the data into a well-defined JSON format using AI tools. The final JSON response is returned to the client through the webhook. Workflow Steps 1. Webhook Listener Node:** Receive Product Request Function:** Captures incoming requests containing the product name to process. Details:** Accepts HTTP requests and extracts the product parameter from the query string, such as <custom_webhook_url>/?product=epigram. 2. Fetch Product HTML Node:** Fetch Product HTML Function:** Sends an HTTP request to retrieve the HTML content of the specified Product Hunt page. Details:** Constructs a dynamic URL using the product name and fetches the page data. 3. Extract Inline Scripts Node:** Extract Inline Scripts Function:** Parses the HTML content to extract inline scripts located within the <head> section. Details:** Excludes scripts containing src attributes and validates the presence of inline scripts. 4. Process Data with LLM Node:** Process Script with LLM Function:** Analyzes the extracted scripts using a language model to identify key product data. Details:** Processes the script to derive structured and meaningful insights. 5. Refine Data with Google Gemini Node:** Analyze Script with Google Gemini Function:** Leverages Google Gemini AI for enhanced analysis of script data. Details:** Ensures the extracted data is precise and enriched. 6. Format Product Data to JSON Node:** Format Product Data to JSON Function:** Structures the processed data into a clean JSON format. Details:** Defines a schema to ensure all relevant fields are included in the output. 7. Send JSON Response to Client Node:** Send JSON Response to Client Function:** Returns the final structured JSON response to the client. Details:** Sends the response back via the same webhook that initiated the request. For example, <custom_webhook_url>. Key Features Versatile Use Cases:** This workflow can be used to gather Product Hunt data for creating blog posts or as a tool for AI agents to research products efficiently. Dynamic Processing:** Adapts to various product names through dynamic URL construction. AI Integration:** Utilizes the Gemini 1.5 8B AI model, offering reduced latency and minimal or no cost depending on the use case. Selector Independence:** Functions even if Product Hunt's DOM structure changes, as it does not rely on direct DOM selectors. Reliable Data Output:** A low temperature setting (0) and a precisely defined JSON schema ensure accurate and real data extraction. Dynamic Processing:** Adapts to various product names through dynamic URL construction. AI Integration:** Utilizes advanced language models for data extraction and refinement. Structured Output:** Ensures the output JSON adheres to a predefined schema for consistency. Error Handling:** Includes validations to handle missing or malformed data gracefully. Customization Options Limitations Dependency on Product Hunt:** Significant changes to the way Product Hunt loads data on its pages might require modifications to the workflow. Adaptability:** Even if changes occur, the workflow can be updated to maintain functionality due to its reliance on AI and not direct DOM selectors. Modify the webhook path to suit your application. Adjust the prompt for the language model to include additional fields. Extend the JSON schema to capture more data fields as needed. Expected Output Performance Metrics Response Time:** Typically ~6 seconds per product. Accuracy:** Data extracted with >95% precision due to the pre-defined JSON schema. A JSON object containing detailed information about the specified product.
