How to Auto-Fill Google Sheets with Web Scraped Data
Want scraped data flowing into Google Sheets automatically?
Method 1: Google Apps Script
function scrapeAndFill() {
const sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
const options = {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'X-API-Key': 'your-key' },
payload: JSON.stringify({ url: 'https://example.com/products' })
};
const response = UrlFetchApp.fetch('https://run.xcrawl.com/v1/scrape', options);
const data = JSON.parse(response);
sheet.appendRow([data.name, data.price]);
}
Set to run on time trigger.
Method 2: n8n + Google Sheets
Build the workflow visually. HTTP node → transform → Google Sheets node.
Method 3: CLI → CSV → Import
npx xcrawl scrape "https://example.com" --output data.json
Pro Tips
- Schedule off-peak hours (2-6 AM)
- Always error-check before writing
- Keep raw + processed sheets separate
