In this guide, you will learn how to connect n8n's HTTP Request node to the ScrapingBot API, handle pagination and errors, and ship production-ready scraping automations \u2014 without writing complex infrastructure code.<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"sb-toc\">\r\n    <p class=\"sb-toc-title\">Table of contents<\/p>\r\n    <ol>\r\n      <li><a href=\"#why\">Why combine n8n and ScrapingBot API?<\/a><\/li>\r\n      <li><a href=\"#prerequisites\">Prerequisites<\/a><\/li>\r\n      <li><a href=\"#setup\">Setting up n8n ScrapingBot API with HTTP Request node<\/a><\/li>\r\n      <li><a href=\"#parsing\">Parsing the response<\/a><\/li>\r\n      <li><a href=\"#batching\">Handling multiple URLs<\/a><\/li>\r\n      <li><a href=\"#errors\">Common errors and how to fix them<\/a><\/li>\r\n      <li><a href=\"#recipes\">Production recipes<\/a><\/li>\r\n    <\/ol>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <h2 id=\"why\">1. Why combine n8n and ScrapingBot API?<\/h2>\r\n  <p>Building a scraping pipeline typically requires two things: a tool to extract data from pages, and a tool to orchestrate what happens with that data. In practice, most developers end up stitching these together manually with custom scripts. n8n and ScrapingBot solve this more cleanly:<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <table class=\"sb-table\">\r\n    <thead>\r\n      <tr><th>Tool<\/th><th>What it does<\/th><\/tr>\r\n    <\/thead>\r\n    <tbody>\r\n      <tr><td><strong>n8n<\/strong><\/td><td>Visual workflow builder \u2014 triggers, branching, batching, scheduling, and integrations with 400+ services<\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td><strong>ScrapingBot<\/strong><\/td><td>Scraping API \u2014 handles JavaScript rendering, geo-location, anti-bot measures, and rotating IPs<\/td><\/tr>\r\n    <\/tbody>\r\n  <\/table>\r\n\r\n  <p>Together, they let you build a full data pipeline \u2014 from scraping a page to storing results in a database, sending a Slack alert, or updating a Google Sheet \u2014 all without maintaining brittle infrastructure.<\/p>\r\n  <p>The <strong>n8n ScrapingBot API<\/strong> combination is particularly powerful for teams who want to automate data collection without writing custom scrapers. Furthermore, n8n's visual interface makes it easy to iterate and debug each step independently.<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <h2 id=\"prerequisites\">2. Prerequisites<\/h2>\r\n  <p>Before building your workflow, make sure you have the following ready:<\/p>\r\n  <ul>\r\n    <li>An <strong>n8n instance<\/strong> \u2014 Desktop app, self-hosted, or <a href=\"https:\/\/n8n.io\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">n8n Cloud<\/a><\/li>\r\n    <li>Your <strong>ScrapingBot username and API key<\/strong> \u2014 available in your ScrapingBot dashboard<\/li>\r\n    <li>A target URL you want to scrape<\/li>\r\n  <\/ul>\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"sb-note\">\r\n    <strong>\ud83d\udca1 Note:<\/strong> ScrapingBot offers <strong>free access with 100 credits per month<\/strong> \u2014 no payment information required. Sign up at <a href=\"https:\/\/scraping-bot.io\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">scraping-bot.io<\/a> to get your credentials.\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <h2 id=\"setup\">3. Setting up n8n ScrapingBot API with HTTP Request node<\/h2>\r\n\r\n  <h3>Step 1 \u2014 Create your credentials<\/h3>\r\n  <p>First, set up a reusable credential in n8n so you don't have to paste your API key into every node:<\/p>\r\n  <ol>\r\n    <li>In n8n, go to <strong>Credentials<\/strong> \u2192 <strong>Add Credential<\/strong><\/li>\r\n    <li>Select <strong>Basic Auth<\/strong><\/li>\r\n    <li>Name it <code>ScrapingBot API<\/code><\/li>\r\n    <li>Set <strong>User<\/strong> to your ScrapingBot username<\/li>\r\n    <li>Set <strong>Password<\/strong> to your ScrapingBot API key<\/li>\r\n    <li>Click <strong>Save<\/strong><\/li>\r\n  <\/ol>\r\n\r\n  <h3>Step 2 \u2014 Configure the HTTP Request node<\/h3>\r\n  <p>Next, add an <strong>HTTP Request<\/strong> node to your workflow and configure it as follows:<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <table class=\"sb-table\">\r\n    <thead>\r\n      <tr><th>Field<\/th><th>Value<\/th><\/tr>\r\n    <\/thead>\r\n    <tbody>\r\n      <tr><td>HTTP Method<\/td><td><code>POST<\/code><\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td>URL<\/td><td><code>https:\/\/api.scraping-bot.io\/scrape\/raw-html<\/code><\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td>Authentication<\/td><td>Basic Auth \u2192 select <code>ScrapingBot API<\/code><\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td>Body Content Type<\/td><td><code>JSON<\/code><\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td>Response Format<\/td><td><code>JSON<\/code><\/td><\/tr>\r\n    <\/tbody>\r\n  <\/table>\r\n\r\n  <h3>Step 3 \u2014 Set the request body<\/h3>\r\n  <p>In the JSON body field, pass the URL you want to scrape along with any options:<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <pre><code>{\r\n  \"url\": \"https:\/\/example.com\/products\",\r\n  \"options\": {\r\n    \"premiumProxy\": false,\r\n    \"country\": \"us\",\r\n    \"waitForNetworkIdle\": true\r\n  }\r\n}<\/code><\/pre>\r\n\r\n  <p>For dynamic URLs coming from a previous node (for example, a Google Sheets row), use n8n's expression syntax instead:<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <pre><code>{\r\n  \"url\": \"{{ $json.url }}\",\r\n  \"options\": {\r\n    \"premiumProxy\": false\r\n  }\r\n}<\/code><\/pre>\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"sb-note\">\r\n    <strong>\ud83d\udca1 Available options:<\/strong> <code>premiumProxy<\/code> (boolean) enables residential IPs for harder targets. <code>country<\/code> sets the geo-location (e.g. <code>\"fr\"<\/code>, <code>\"de\"<\/code>, <code>\"us\"<\/code>). <code>waitForNetworkIdle<\/code> waits for all JS to finish loading before returning the HTML.\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <h2 id=\"parsing\">4. Parsing the response<\/h2>\r\n\r\n  <h3>Understanding the response structure<\/h3>\r\n  <p>ScrapingBot returns a structured JSON object. The main field you will use is <code>html<\/code>, which contains the fully rendered page content:<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <pre><code>{\r\n  \"html\": \"&lt;html&gt;...rendered page content...&lt;\/html&gt;\",\r\n  \"statusCode\": 200,\r\n  \"captchaFound\": false,\r\n  \"host\": \"example.com\"\r\n}<\/code><\/pre>\r\n\r\n  <h3>Extracting data with the HTML Extract node<\/h3>\r\n  <p>After the HTTP Request node, add an <strong>HTML Extract<\/strong> node to pull specific data from the response. For example, to extract all product titles from a page:<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <table class=\"sb-table\">\r\n    <thead>\r\n      <tr><th>Field<\/th><th>CSS Selector<\/th><th>Return Value<\/th><\/tr>\r\n    <\/thead>\r\n    <tbody>\r\n      <tr><td>productTitle<\/td><td><code>h2.product-title<\/code><\/td><td>Text<\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td>productPrice<\/td><td><code>span.price<\/code><\/td><td>Text<\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td>productUrl<\/td><td><code>a.product-link<\/code><\/td><td>HTML Attribute \u2192 <code>href<\/code><\/td><\/tr>\r\n    <\/tbody>\r\n  <\/table>\r\n\r\n  <h3>Checking for errors before parsing<\/h3>\r\n  <p>Always add an <strong>IF node<\/strong> after the HTTP Request to check that the scrape succeeded before processing the data:<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <pre><code>\/\/ Condition in the IF node\r\n{{ $json.statusCode === 200 && $json.captchaFound === false }}<\/code><\/pre>\r\n\r\n  <p>If the condition is false, route that branch to a retry or error handler instead of continuing the workflow.<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <h2 id=\"batching\">5. Handling multiple URLs<\/h2>\r\n\r\n  <h3>Recommended workflow structure<\/h3>\r\n  <p>When you need to scrape a large list of URLs, batching is essential to avoid overloading the target server and hitting rate limits. Here is the recommended pattern:<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <table class=\"sb-table\">\r\n    <thead>\r\n      <tr><th>Step<\/th><th>Node<\/th><th>Purpose<\/th><\/tr>\r\n    <\/thead>\r\n    <tbody>\r\n      <tr><td>1<\/td><td>Trigger (Manual or Cron)<\/td><td>Start the workflow<\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td>2<\/td><td>Google Sheets \/ Database<\/td><td>Read the list of URLs to scrape<\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td>3<\/td><td>Split In Batches<\/td><td>Process 5\u201310 URLs at a time<\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td>4<\/td><td>HTTP Request \u2192 ScrapingBot<\/td><td>Scrape each URL<\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td>5<\/td><td>Wait<\/td><td>Add a 500\u20131500ms delay between batches<\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td>6<\/td><td>HTML Extract \/ Code<\/td><td>Parse the response<\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td>7<\/td><td>Write results<\/td><td>Push to database, sheet, or CRM<\/td><\/tr>\r\n    <\/tbody>\r\n  <\/table>\r\n\r\n  <h3>Adding a polite delay<\/h3>\r\n  <p>In the <strong>Wait<\/strong> node, set a random delay between requests to avoid triggering rate limits:<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <pre><code>\/\/ In a Code node before the Wait node\r\n\/\/ Generate a random delay between 500ms and 1500ms\r\nconst delay = Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000) + 500;\r\nreturn [{ json: { delay } }];<\/code><\/pre>\r\n\r\n  <p>Then in the Wait node, set the duration to <code>{{ $json.delay }}<\/code> milliseconds. As a result, your workflow behaves more like a human browser and is far less likely to get blocked.<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <h2 id=\"errors\">6. Common errors and how to fix them<\/h2>\r\n  <p>Even with ScrapingBot handling most protections, errors can still occur. Here is how to handle the most common ones:<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <table class=\"sb-table\">\r\n    <thead>\r\n      <tr><th>Error<\/th><th>Cause<\/th><th>Fix<\/th><\/tr>\r\n    <\/thead>\r\n    <tbody>\r\n      <tr><td><code>401 Unauthorized<\/code><\/td><td>Wrong credentials<\/td><td>Double-check your username and API key in the n8n credential<\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td><code>429 Too Many Requests<\/code><\/td><td>Rate limit exceeded<\/td><td>Increase the delay between requests or reduce batch size<\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td><code>captchaFound: true<\/code><\/td><td>CAPTCHA not bypassed<\/td><td>Enable <code>premiumProxy: true<\/code> in the request options<\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td><code>statusCode: 404<\/code><\/td><td>Page no longer exists<\/td><td>Add an IF node to skip 404s and log them separately<\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td>Empty HTML response<\/td><td>JavaScript not rendered<\/td><td>Set <code>waitForNetworkIdle: true<\/code> in the options<\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td>Workflow timeout<\/td><td>Too many URLs in one run<\/td><td>Reduce batch size and add a Wait node between batches<\/td><\/tr>\r\n    <\/tbody>\r\n  <\/table>\r\n\r\n  <h3>Adding retry logic<\/h3>\r\n  <p>For transient errors, add automatic retries using n8n's built-in retry mechanism. In the HTTP Request node settings, enable <strong>\"Retry on Fail\"<\/strong> and set:<\/p>\r\n  <ul>\r\n    <li><strong>Max Tries:<\/strong> 3<\/li>\r\n    <li><strong>Wait Between Tries:<\/strong> 2000ms<\/li>\r\n  <\/ul>\r\n  <p>Additionally, for persistent failures, route them to a dedicated error branch that logs the failed URL to a Google Sheet or sends a Slack notification for manual review.<\/p>\r\n  <h2 id=\"recipes\">7. Production recipes<\/h2>\r\n  <p>Once your basic workflow is working, here are three ready-to-ship automations you can build today:<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <h3>Price monitor<\/h3>\r\n  <p>Track product prices and get alerted when they change:<\/p>\r\n  <ol>\r\n    <li><strong>Cron trigger<\/strong> \u2014 run every hour<\/li>\r\n    <li><strong>HTTP Request<\/strong> \u2192 ScrapingBot scrapes the product page<\/li>\r\n    <li><strong>HTML Extract<\/strong> \u2014 pulls the current price<\/li>\r\n    <li><strong>IF node<\/strong> \u2014 compares with the last stored price<\/li>\r\n    <li><strong>Slack \/ Email node<\/strong> \u2014 sends an alert if the price changed<\/li>\r\n    <li><strong>Google Sheets<\/strong> \u2014 updates the stored price<\/li>\r\n  <\/ol>\r\n\r\n  <h3>Lead capture pipeline<\/h3>\r\n  <p>Turn a list of company pages into enriched CRM records:<\/p>\r\n  <ol>\r\n    <li><strong>Google Sheets<\/strong> \u2014 reads a list of company LinkedIn or website URLs<\/li>\r\n    <li><strong>Split In Batches<\/strong> \u2014 processes 5 URLs at a time<\/li>\r\n    <li><strong>HTTP Request<\/strong> \u2192 ScrapingBot scrapes each page<\/li>\r\n    <li><strong>Code node<\/strong> \u2014 extracts name, email, phone, address<\/li>\r\n    <li><strong>HubSpot \/ Salesforce node<\/strong> \u2014 creates or updates the contact record<\/li>\r\n  <\/ol>\r\n\r\n  <h3>SEO audit<\/h3>\r\n  <p>Audit your entire site for missing titles, broken H1s, and status codes:<\/p>\r\n  <ol>\r\n    <li><strong>HTTP Request<\/strong> \u2014 fetches your sitemap.xml<\/li>\r\n    <li><strong>XML node<\/strong> \u2014 extracts all URLs from the sitemap<\/li>\r\n    <li><strong>Split In Batches<\/strong> \u2014 processes pages in groups of 10<\/li>\r\n    <li><strong>HTTP Request<\/strong> \u2192 ScrapingBot scrapes each page<\/li>\r\n    <li><strong>HTML Extract<\/strong> \u2014 pulls title, H1, meta description, status code<\/li>\r\n    <li><strong>Google Sheets<\/strong> \u2014 exports the full audit as a CSV-ready spreadsheet<\/li>\r\n  <\/ol>\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"sb-cta\">\r\n    <p><strong>Ready to automate your scraping workflows?<\/strong> Get 100 free credits when you sign up for ScrapingBot \u2014 no credit card required.<\/p>\r\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/scraping-bot.io\/pricing\" class=\"sb-cta-btn\">Try ScrapingBot for free \u2192<\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/article>\r\n<style>\r\n.sb-article { max-width: 800px;
