Setup Guide​

Get Your API Credentials​

  1. Subscribe to Easy Scrape API on RapidAPI
  2. Copy your X-RapidAPI-Key from the dashboard
  3. Note the API host: easy-scrape-api.rapidapi.com

3. Create Your First Workflow​

  1. Add an HTTP Request node
  2. Configure the node with Easy Scrape API settings
  3. Enable send headers
  4. Enable send body

HTTP Request Node Configuration​

Basic Settings​

  • Method: POST
  • URL: https://easy-scrape-api.p.rapidapi.com/api/scrape

Headers​

{
  "X-RapidAPI-Key": "YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY",
  "X-RapidAPI-Host": "easy-scrape-api.p.rapidapi.com",
  "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

Body (JSON)​

warning

In n8n you don't need to parse your code. You can write your JavaScript directly in the script field without converting it to a string format.

tip

Remember to always return something in your script! If you don't explicitly return a value, your script will return undefined. Always include a return statement with meaningful data :)

{
  "url": "https://example.com",
  "script": "const title = await page.title(); return { title };"
}

Troubleshooting​

Common Issues​

"Request failed with status code 401"​

  • Check your RapidAPI key in the HTTP Request headers
  • Verify the X-RapidAPI-Host header is correct
  • Ensure your RapidAPI subscription is active

"Execution timeout"​

  • Increase timeout in HTTP Request node settings
  • Optimize your scraping script for better performance

"Memory issues with large datasets"​

  • Use "Split In Batches" to process data in smaller chunks
  • Clear unnecessary data in Function nodes

"Rate limiting errors"​

  • Add "Wait" nodes between requests
  • Check your RapidAPI plan limits

Next Steps​

  1. Start Simple: Create a basic scraping workflow first
  2. Add Complexity: Gradually add data processing and integrations
  3. Monitor Performance: Use n8n's execution logs to optimize
  4. Share Workflows: Export and share successful templates
  5. Scale Up: Move to n8n Cloud for production workloads
