Who this is for?

The Automate Etsy Data Mining with Bright Data Scrape & Google Gemini workflow is designed for eCommerce analysts, product researchers, and AI developers seeking to extract actionable insights from Etsy listings at scale. It is ideal for:

– eCommerce Entrepreneurs – Researching product demand and competition.
– Market Analysts – Tracking pricing, reviews, and trends across Etsy categories.
– Product Managers – Identifying niche opportunities and design inspirations.
– Data Scientists & AI Engineers – Automating product intelligence pipelines.
– Growth Hackers – Leveraging Etsy insights to refine product-market fit.

What problem is this workflow solving?

Manually browsing Etsy to analyze product listings, pricing, reviews, and seller activity is slow, inconsistent, and unscalable. Scraping Etsy requires unlocking JavaScript-heavy content and structuring noisy data for analysis.

This workflow solves:

– Automated and scalable scraping of Etsy product listings using Bright Data’s infrastructure.
– A fully paginated data structured Etsy production data extraction via the Google Gemini LLM.
– Enables faster decision-making for product research and competitive analysis via the fully automated paginated data extraction.

What this workflow does

– Receives input: Sets the Etsy URL for the data extraction and analysis.
– Uses Bright Data’s Web Unlocker to extract content from relevant sites.
– Cleans and preprocesses the scraped content for readability.
– Sends the content to Google Gemini for enriched results including data persistence over the disk.
– Sends the response to a target system via Webhook notification.

Setup

1. Sign up at Bright Data.
2. Navigate to Proxies & Scraping and create a new Web Unlocker zone by selecting Web Unlocker API under Scraping Solutions.
3. In n8n, configure the Header Auth account under Credentials (Generic Auth Type: Header Authentication). The Value field should be set with the Bearer XXXXXXXXXXXXXX. The XXXXXXXXXXXXXX should be replaced by the Web Unlocker Token.
4. A Google Gemini API key (or access through Vertex AI or proxy).
5. Update the Set Etsy Search Query for setting the brand content URL and the Bright Data Zone name.
6. Update the Webhook HTTP Request node with the Webhook endpoint of your choice.
