Scrapping interactive maps

Hi everyone! I’m new to n8n and flowgramming, coming from a creative/marketing background, so please bear with me! I’m working on my first project: a marketing campaign that requires pulling data from an interactive map (not Google Maps) and feeding it into Clay, then back to n8n for campaign execution.

The map is the IT Subway Map (logistics/supply chain focus): Interactive map - IT Subway Map. I need to scrape data like vendor names along the WMS line, but most scraping tutorials I’ve found focus on Google Maps, which doesn’t apply here.

Here’s what I’m aiming for:

  • Scrape data from the IT Subway Map (e.g., vendor lists organizable by ‘track’).
  • Push the data to Clay for enrichment.
  • Bring it back to n8n to trigger the campaign(s).

I’ve tried the HTTP Request node in n8n but I’m not sure how to handle the map’s interactive elements. Has anyone scraped a similar interactive site or can point me to nodes/tools that might help? Any advice on setting up this workflow would be amazing. I don’t expect hand-holding, but a little guidance for a newbie would mean a lot! :folded_hands:

Thank you!
