Overview

This node interacts with the Outscraper API to perform a Google Search specifically for shopping results. It allows users to input a search query and customize the search with options such as the number of pages to return, language, region, date range, and other filters. The node supports asynchronous requests and webhook callbacks for task completion notifications. This is useful for scenarios where users want to automate the retrieval of shopping-related search results from Google, such as for market research, price comparison, or product discovery.

Use Case Examples

  1. A user inputs a product name as the query and retrieves multiple pages of shopping results to analyze pricing trends.
  2. A marketing analyst uses the node to gather localized shopping search results filtered by a specific date range to track recent product launches.

Properties

Name Meaning
Query The search query string to find shopping results on Google.
Pages Per Query The number of pages of search results to return for the query.
Async Request Whether to make the search request asynchronously.
Webhook URL to which Outscraper will send a POST request once the search task is finished.
Language Language code to localize the search results (e.g., en, fr, es).
Additional Fields Additional optional parameters to refine the search, including date range, specific fields to return, region, number of results to skip, and Google UULE location encoding.
Request Options Node-level request options including batching, SSL certificate validation, proxy settings, and request timeout.

Output

JSON

  • results - Array of shopping search results returned from the Outscraper API.
  • status - Status of the search request or task.
  • taskId - Identifier for the asynchronous task if async request is used.

Dependencies

  • Outscraper API key credential

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient quota for Outscraper API usage.
  • If asynchronous requests are used, verify the webhook URL is correctly set and accessible to receive POST callbacks.
  • Check network connectivity and proxy settings if requests fail or time out.
  • If SSL certificate validation errors occur, consider enabling the option to ignore SSL issues, but be aware of security risks.
