What this workflow does
Import it and n8n runs the Google Shopping Price Comparison & Deal Finder Actor on Apify every day at 08:00 with the starter input below. Each row comes back with product, price, currency, merchant and 42 more; repeats with the same productId are dropped. A Google Sheets append is included and stays off until you add your sheet. The only credential it needs is your Apify API token.

| Field | What it is |
|---|---|
| title | Product |
| price | Price |
| currency | Currency |
| merchant | Merchant |
| rating | Rating |
| reviewCount | Reviews |

Questions people ask

Do I need an Apify account?
Yes. The workflow calls the Google Shopping Price Comparison & Deal Finder Actor through the Apify API with your own token, and each run is billed to your Apify account. The Free plan includes $5 of usage a month.
What does a run cost?
Each run starts at $0.40 on the Free plan (4 GB of memory), then $0.99 per 1,000 results, plus platform usage. The Actor's Store page shows the current price.
Can I change what it collects?
Yes: edit the input object in the Configure input node. The Actor takes 17 settings; the table on this page lists each one with its default. Raise maxResultsPerQuery once the first rows look right.
Does it work without Google Sheets?
Yes. The rows wait in the Rows ready node, so you can connect any other node there: a database, Airtable, a webhook or an email. The Google Sheets node is only one option.
