@eighty_83_three @jn_jackk did you try scraping from linkedin based on when they went to collage or when was their first job (this is a predictor to their age). try scraping with Bright data and filtering with these

[Yaron Been @YaronBeen]

Most teams are using the wrong mental model for GTM automation.

It is not:
pick one tool and force it everywhere.

It is:
use browser automation for logged-in workflows,
use scraping infra for public data at scale,
use AI to turn the output into action.

@PrajwalTomar_ for data/research work i'd add a web scraping MCP. the default fetch chokes on anything with cloudflare. i set up one that wraps bright data's web unlocker and it handles anti-bot stuff automatically. returns JSON instead of raw HTML which saves a ton of tokens.

[Yaron Been @YaronBeen]

@HiTw93 Does TinyFish handle Cloudflare-protected pages? That's where most scraping MCPs break for me. I use Bright Data's MCP for anything behind anti-bot — Web Unlocker solves it automatically. Worth testing both side by side on protected sites.

[Yaron Been @YaronBeen]

@alphabatcher Great list... just one addition: Crawl4AI is great for clean sites but fails on Cloudflare pages. I added Bright Data's MCP (Web Unlocker + SERP API) and it handles anti-bot automatically, returns structured JSON. Between that and Playwright, web access is solved.

[Yaron Been @YaronBeen]

@ihteshamali Looks useful, but the real test is how it holds up when defenses change. I still keep Bright Data's Web Unlocker around for the protected sites so I can separate parser quality from access reliability.

[Yaron Been @YaronBeen]

@dr_cintas Solid launch. The clean JSON part is the biggest win in n8n for me too.
In my setup, this handles most flows, I only bring in Bright Data on the few targets that are heavily protected and start throwing anti-bot/CAPTCHA issues. Then I just pass the output back to n8n pipeline

A friend who runs an agency called me yesterday.
He needed 15 YouTube influencers
for a client campaign.

I told him:
“Just reach out manually.”
He said:
“15 is just the start.
We need something scalable.”

"When do you need it?"
"Yesterday" he said...

I was about to put my daughters to sleep.
Almost said no.

Then I thought:
this smells like automation.
Opened my laptop.
30-minute sprint.

Used Anthropics Claude Code + Bright Data’s YouTube SERP API to scrape results by keywords.
Pulled channel data.
Ran quick enrichment.
Used simple regex → extracted emails.

Done.
30 minutes after the call--> I sent him a WhatsApp:
“Here’s the GitHub link.”

He now has a scalable system to find unlimited influencers.

But this isn’t just for influencers.
You can use this to find:
• Podcast guests
• Partnerships
• Affiliates
• Creators
• Leads in any niche

Cheap.
Fast.
Repeatable.

Every founder + marketer should have this in their stack.

Comment: YT influencer and I'll send it- free of charge :)

n8n.
Would love to see it...

Altough I kinda did something similar cutting down tool costs with n8n. The only thing I couldn't replace was a solid scraping API since free scrapers kept breaking. Bright Data ended up being like $30/month for my usage vs the $200+ I was paying before.

[Yaron Been @YaronBeen]

@JorisFalter I switched to Bright Data after hitting that same wall. Their pay-as-you-go pricing makes way more sense when you're just starting out... No commitment to a $50/month tier when you're testing things out. Started with like $10 worth of credits and scaled from there.

[Yaron Been @YaronBeen]

Great stuff.

Thanks for sharing.

1- Any advice regarding the verification phase?
2- Are you making it a point to tdd?

3- I've created a tool that helps me guide CC better.
It's a Visual mockup and annotation tool for Claude Code. Draw mockups, add multi-page references, and provide coordinate-tracked feedback.

@abrarStx I also use Playwright 99% of the time.
But the SeleniumBase library not Selenium is an interesting repo that i suggest checking out ;)

[Yaron Been @YaronBeen]

@claudeai Code can refactor your entire codebase.
But it can't tell that your button is 3px off.
ShowMe fixes this:
visual annotations with exact coordinates that Claude can actually use.
/showme → annotate → Claude sees what you see

Let me be brutally honest.

Your ads aren’t failing because of competition,
iOS updates or rising CPMs.

They’re failing because...
your team moves at
the speed of a turtle on tranquilizers.

No automations.

Videos take weeks to make.
Another week to upload.

Then you “wait for data”...

Nevermind the fact that
it's just the same old angle...

With the same creator that
has been working for you
in the last 18 months.

This isn’t a strategy problem.
It’s a velocity problem.

If you care about ROAS,
Start automating.

Hire the ROAS Pig.

Fire your juniors.

Nano Banana + WAN-VIDEO 2.5 + n8n is mind-blowing 🤯

This AI system creates UGC videos at scale using WAN-VIDEO 2.5.
And runs automatically inside n8n.

It's WAY cheaper than VEO 3...
And The lipsync and overall quality is absolutely insane.

Perfect for DTC marketers & creative agencies.

Instead of manually creating scripts & images & videos...
Just upload ONE product image and get dozens of professional UGC videos with solid brand consistency.

Each video costs pennies to generate
+ you own 100% of the content forever.

Built in n8n.

Can be customized and Fully automated based on your needs.

Want the complete n8n workflow?

I’ve built a personal assistant agent using @ag2oss, integrating it with Telegram to streamline workflows.

I connected multiple agents and equipped them with powerful tools, including:
-Gmail management (send, read, draft emails)
-Google Drive & Calendar handling
-Trello automation
-Web scraping & website interactions
-YouTube transcript downloads And more…
