This workflow is your ultimate solution for reliable image retrieval from any web source, including those heavily protected. It operates with a smart, cost-effective strategy: it first attempts to fetch the image using a Classic Image Getter node (a standard, free HTTP request). In approximately 80% of cases, this method will be sufficient. However, for the remaining instances where you encounter IP blocking, CAPTCHAs, rate limiting, or other advanced anti-bot measures, the workflow seamlessly switches to a robust BrightData Web Unblocker service as a fallback. It leverages BrightData’s Image Unblocker to retrieve these blocked images. This template is indispensable for anyone needing consistent and complete access to web images, ensuring you get the data you need without unnecessary overhead. Why Use This Image Scrapper Workflow? Maximum Success Rate**: Retrieves images even from the most challenging or protected websites. Cost-Optimized Strategy**: Prioritizes free, standard HTTP requests, only incurring costs when advanced unblocking is truly necessary.

Listen on new emails on a given IMAP mailbox. Converts the binary XML attachment to a stringified xmlproperty on the $data object and converts it to JSON. The Setnode could be replaced with Function nodes for example to do a conversion/mapping/transformation. The JSON is ultimately sent to a HTTP Endpoint via POST. This could be a starter for EDI purposes like receiving or transmitting XML data and conversion via JSON object property mapping.
