This is particularly useful for monitoring price changes and availability of books in real-time.

Workflow Steps

    3. Information Extractor: The fetched data is processed to extract relevant details such as title, price, availability, product URL, and image URL using a LangChain model.
    4. Split Out: The extracted information is split into individual components for further processing.
    5. Save to Google Sheets: Each book's details are appended to a designated Google Sheets document for organized storage and easy access.
