Here's the demo application that was built during the talk:

I'd suggest exploring server-side scraping in JavaScript, using APIs like Puppeteer for browser automation in OutSystems. I personally found Scravio helpful at extracting data efficiently and it could complement your setup nicely if you ever need email lists. Nordin's recommended resources from NextStep 2019 are also a great foundation, as they cover essential techniques and tips for web scraping in OutSystems.
