Scheduled Walmart Product Scraping to Google Sheets with ScrapeOps

Description

Overview

This n8n template automates Walmart product discovery and sends clean results to Google Sheets on a fixed schedule (default: every 4 hours). It uses ScrapeOps Proxy API for resilient page fetches (with JS render + scroll) and ScrapeOps Parser API for structured data extraction (title, price, rating, reviews, image, URL, sponsored flag). The result is a repeatable, low-maintenance workflow for market research, price monitoring, and assortment tracking; ideal for ops and growth teams that need fresh data without babysitting scrapers.
