Automate Recursive Web Scraping with Google Sheets and Google Docs

This workflow automates the process of recursive web scraping, using Google Sheets to manage URLs and Google Docs to store scraped content. It is ideal for collecting data across multiple linked pages for content aggregation, lead generation, or research projects.

The workflow begins by reading a seed URL from a Google Sheet, then scrapes the page content and stores it in a Google Doc. It extracts new links that match specified criteria and appends them back to the Google Sheet. This process is repeated for a defined number of iterations, allowing for deep exploration of linked pages. The setup requires an Airtop API Key and Google credentials for Sheets and Docs. Users can enhance the workflow by adding filtering rules, scheduling regular runs, or export
