Integration overview
How the n8n + DumplingAI workflow fits together
Use the HTTP Request node to call DumplingAI with the page you need, wait conditions, and output preferences, then feed the scraped data into the rest of your workflows.
Integration steps
- 1
Add the HTTP Request node
Insert an HTTP Request node after your trigger so you can call DumplingAI inside the workflow.
- 2
Configure the DumplingAI request
Switch the node to POST, attach your Header Auth credential, and define the JSON body in the Body Parameters section. Include the page URL you want to crawl plus any optional wait conditions or formatting preferences your workflow needs.
- 3
Distribute the scraped data
Send the response into Set, Function, or AI nodes before handing it off to other services. Forward the HTML, metadata, or extracted text into enrichment, change-detection, or publishing steps.
