Latenode

Automatically scrape and summarize news posts in NocoDB

This template opens a news site on a schedule, extracts recent posts in JavaScript, asks ChatGPT for a short summary and keywords, and creates a NocoDB row with title, summary, and source URL. Use it for sites without an RSS feed. Connect NocoDB. ChatGPT is Latenode AI, so you do not paste an OpenAI key. Put the NocoDB API token on the NocoDB connection.

How Latenode estimates time and cost

Latenode bills workflow runtime in CPU seconds. The first 10,000 CPU seconds are free each month, then usage follows pay-as-you-go CPU-second pricing. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.
