I have an idea for a workflow to automate hunting for cheap VPS deals, but I could use some collaboration on the best way to structure the HTML parsing.

I'm looking for advice on the best selectors to use for these sites, or if anyone wants to help build a reliable deduplication logic so I don't get the same deal listed twice. Let's connect. 💀

Hello,

That's a solid idea, and I can definitely help.
I have experience building automation workflows that scan websites, extract structured data, and avoid duplicates.

How I can help:

  • Choose stable HTML selectors that keep working even when pages change slightly
  • Design a clean parsing structure so deals are extracted consistently
  • Build deduplication logic
  • Set up a clear workflow: scan -> extract -> compare -> store -> notify

I'm happy to collaborate, review your current idea, and help structure this in a way that's in a way that's robust and future-proof.

Let's connect and talk through the approach.

That’s a solid automation idea, and I’d be glad to help you structure it properly. I have hands-on experience building n8n workflows for web scraping, HTML parsing, and deduplication logic.

I can help you with:

Choosing stable CSS/XPath selectors for different VPS deal sites

Designing a robust deduplication system (hashing + normalization to avoid duplicates)

Structuring the workflow so it’s scalable and resilient to layout changes

Implementing price normalization and change detection

If you’d like, we can start by reviewing one or two target sites and map out the parsing + dedup logic together.

Looking forward to collaborating
