Track Regional Sentiment from Social Media with Bright Data & OpenAI

This n8n workflow monitors regional sentiment on social media and news platforms by querying Twitter, Reddit, and major news APIs with geolocation filters. Where APIs fall short, Bright Data performs advanced location-specific scraping to gather comprehensive data. OpenAI then processes this data for sentiment analysis, keyword extraction, and topic modeling, producing aggregated scores in a daily report.

Results are cleanly stored in Google Sheets, enabling easy access and further analysis. Optional integration with Data Studio or Looker provides interactive dashboards for visualizing trends over time. The workflow is highly customizable, allowing users to define specific regions, keywords, and brands or topics of interest right from the Start node.

Ideal for brand monitoring in target markets, political campaigns tracking voter sentiment by district, market entry strategies assessing regional attitudes, and crisis management to detect negative spikes early. It saves hours of manual data collection and analysis, delivering real-time insights to inform decisions. Compatible only with self-hosted n8n due to community nodes.
