Who’s it for Creators / Analysts** who need quick product lists (books, gadgets, etc.) with prices/ratings. Ops & Marketing teams** building weekly “top picks” reports. Engineers** validating the Decodo Scraper API + LLM extraction pattern before scaling. How it works / What it does Trigger – Manually run the workflow. Edit Fields (manual) – Provide inputs: targetUrl (e.g., an Amazon category/search/listing page) deviceType (desktop | mobile | tablet) Optional: maxItems, notes, reportTitle, reportOwner Scraper API Request (HTTP Request → POST) Calls Decodo Scraper API with: URL to crawl, headless JS enabled Device emulation (UA + viewport) Optional waitFor / executeJS to ensure late-loading content is captured HTML Response Parser (Code/Function or HTML node) Pulls the HTML string from Decodo response and normalizes it (strip scripts/styles, collapse whitespace). Product Analyzer Agent (LLM + Structured Output Parser) Prompts an LLM to extract structured “book” objects from the HTML: The Structured Output Parser enforces a strict JSON schema and drops malformed items. Build 📚 Book Purchase Report (Code/LLM) Converts the JSON array into a Markdown (or HTML) report with: Executive summary (top picks, average price/rating) Table of items (rank, title, author, price, rating, link) “Recommended to buy” shortlist (rules configurable) Notes / owner / timestamp Configure Google Drive Folder (manual) Choose/create a Drive folder for output artifacts. Create Document File (Google Docs API) Creates a Doc from the generated Markdown/HTML. Convert Document to PDF (Google Drive export) Exports the Doc to PDF. Upload report to Slack Sends the PDF (and/or Doc link) to a chosen Slack channel with a short summary. How to set up 1 Prerequisites AlekSystem** (self-hosted or Cloud) Decodo Scraper API** key OpenAI (or compatible) API key** for the Analyzer Agent Google Drive/Docs** credentials (OAuth2) Slack** Bot/User token (files:write, chat:write) 2 Environment variables (recommended) DECODO_API_KEY OPENAI_API_KEY DRIVE_FOLDER_ID (optional default) SLACK_CHANNEL_ID 3 Nodes configuration (high level) Edit Fields (Set node) Scraper API Request (HTTP Request → POST) HTML Response Parser (Code node) Product Analyzer Agent Build Book Purchase Report (Code/LLM) Create Document File Convert to PDF Upload to Slack Requirements Decodo**: Active API key and endpoint access. Be mindful of concurrency/rate limits. Model**: GPT-4o/4.1-mini or similar for reliable structured extraction. Google**: OAuth client (Docs/Drive scopes). Ensure AlekSystem can write to the target folder. Slack**: Bot token with files:write + chat:write. How to customize the workflow Target site: Change targetUrl to any **public page (category, search, or listing). For other domains (not Amazon), tweak the LLM guidance (e.g., price/label patterns). Device emulation**: Switch deviceType to mobile to fetch mobile-optimized markup (often simpler DOMs). Late-loading pages**: Adjust waitFor.selector or use waitUntil: "networkidle" (if supported) to ensure full content loads. Client-side JS**: Extend executeJS if you need to interact (scroll, click “next”, expand sections). You can also loop over pagination by iterating URLs. Extraction schema**: Add fields (e.g., discount_percent, bestseller_badge, prime_eligible) and update the Structured Output schema accordingly. Filtering rules**: Modify recommendation logic (e.g., min ratings count, price bands, languages). Report branding**: Add logo, cover page, footer with company info; switch to HTML + inline CSS for richer Docs formatting. Destinations**: Besides Slack & Drive, add Email, Notion, Confluence, or a database sink. Scheduling: Add a **Cron trigger for weekly/monthly auto-reports.
