The verified [Olostep app on Relay](https://www.relay.app/apps/olostep/integrations) gives you two actions inside Relay's visual builder: scrape a URL or map all links on a site. [View on Relay →](https://www.relay.app/apps/olostep/integrations) ## Before you start * **An Olostep account with an API key:** [get one free](https://olostep.com/dashboard), no credit card required. Your first 500 credits are included. * **A Relay account:** create one at [relay.app](https://www.relay.app/). * **No coding required:** everything in this guide is done through Relay's visual editor. *** ## Setup Open a workflow in Relay, add a step, and search for **Olostep**. Select **Olostep** from the app list. Placeholder: Search for Olostep in Relay app picker After selecting **Olostep**, choose one of the available Olostep actions in the step configuration. Placeholder: Olostep action selector in Relay Click **Connect account**, paste your Olostep API key, and authorize the connection. Relay will save this account for future workflows. Placeholder: Relay account connection modal with Olostep API key field Get your key from the [Olostep dashboard →](https://olostep.com/dashboard) * **URL to Scrape:** map from a previous step or enter manually * **Output Format:** choose `Markdown`, `HTML`, `JSON`, or `Text` Placeholder: Relay Olostep Scrape Website fields with URL and output format Run a test to verify output, then publish or turn on the workflow once results look correct. Placeholder: Relay test output and publish flow *** ## Actions Pull content from any URL as Markdown, HTML, JSON, or plain text. Handles JS-rendered pages with optional wait times and country targeting. Get every URL on a site without scraping content. Use it for discovery before a batch job. Returns a `map_id`. **Map is async.** Store the returned `map_id` and use a delay/poll pattern in Relay to retrieve results once processing completes. *** ## Example workflow: Scheduled competitor page scrape **What it does:** On a schedule, this workflow scrapes a competitor page and stores clean content you can reuse in downstream Relay steps. **Nodes used:** Schedule -> Olostep Scrape Website Placeholder: Relay canvas showing schedule and Olostep scrape steps *** ### Step 1: Add a schedule trigger Create a workflow and add a schedule trigger (for example, every weekday at 8 AM). ### Step 2: Add Olostep Scrape Website Add an **Olostep** step and select **Scrape Website**. Set: * **URL:** `https://competitor.com/blog` * **Output Format:** Markdown ### Step 3: Test and publish Run a test to confirm the output, then publish or turn on the workflow. ### What you get Every run produces clean page content ready for analysis or routing: > **Scrape Result** > > * Source URL > * Retrieved content in your selected format > * Timestamped run output in Relay *** ## Parsers Add a parser ID to the **Parser** field on the Scrape action to get structured data instead of raw content: | Parser | Extracts | | ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | | `@olostep/amazon-product` | Title, price, rating, reviews, images, variants | | `@olostep/google-search` | Result titles, URLs, snippets | | `@olostep/google-maps` | Business name, address, rating, reviews | | `@olostep/extract-emails` | Email addresses from any page | | `@olostep/extract-socials` | Social profile links (X, GitHub, LinkedIn, etc.) | | `@olostep/extract-calendars` | Google Calendar and ICS links | See the full list in the [Olostep parser store →](https://www.olostep.com/store) *** ## Relay.app vs Zapier Relay.app is a strong alternative to Zapier for workflows that need built-in review and AI-first orchestration. **Relay.app advantages:** * **Human-in-the-loop:** native approval and review steps in the workflow * **AI-first workflow design:** easier to add AI decisions and summaries as first-class steps * **Workflow clarity:** clean visual builder with clear run context and step outputs **When Zapier may be better:** * You need coverage for a niche app only available on Zapier * Your team already has many existing Zaps and operational tooling around Zapier If both platforms support your stack, choose Relay when review + AI collaboration are central to your process. *** ## Troubleshooting Copy the key directly from [olostep.com/dashboard](https://olostep.com/dashboard) with no trailing spaces. Reconnect the Olostep account in Relay if the error persists. Increase **Wait Before Scraping** (try 2000–5000ms for JS-heavy pages). Confirm the URL is publicly accessible without login. If one domain consistently fails, contact [info@olostep.com](mailto:info@olostep.com). Add delays between scrape-heavy runs and retry with backoff for large workflows. Check current usage in the [dashboard](https://olostep.com/dashboard). Maps are async. Store the returned `map_id` first, then fetch results in a later step/run once processing is complete. *** ## Related Full reference for the scrape endpoint How batch jobs work and how to retrieve results Crawl configuration and result retrieval URL discovery and filtering options
