Usage
All Bardeen automation runs through the Chrome extension sidebar. There is no code to write for basic workflows; you configure scrapers through a point-and-click interface.
Minimal usage example: scrape leads from Product Hunt
This example uses the built-in Product Hunt scraper template to pull a list of products and their makers into a Google Sheet.
1 - Open the target page
In Chrome, navigate to:
https://www.producthunt.com/leaderboard/daily2 - Open Bardeen
Click the Bardeen icon in the Chrome toolbar. The Bardeen sidebar opens on the right side of the page.
3 - Select a scraper template
In the sidebar, search for "Product Hunt". Select the "Scrape Product Hunt leaderboard" template. Bardeen shows you what data columns it will extract (product name, tagline, upvotes, maker name, URL).
4 - Run the scraper
Click Run. Bardeen scrapes the visible results on the current page (1 credit per row).
To scrape multiple pages, enable Auto-scroll / pagination in the scraper settings before running.
5 - Export the results
When the run completes, Bardeen shows a results table. Click Export and choose your destination:
- Google Sheets - Bardeen opens a file picker to select or create a sheet; rows are appended automatically.
- Airtable / Notion - Requires connecting the integration once under Settings > Integrations.
- CSV - Downloads immediately, always free.
Optional: add AI qualification
After scraping, click AI Tools in the results panel and write a qualification prompt such as:
Is this product in the B2B SaaS space and does it have more than 100 upvotes? Answer yes or no.Bardeen runs the AI filter (1 credit per row) and adds a column with the answer, letting you filter the sheet to only qualified rows.
Building a custom scraper
If no template matches your target site:
- Open Bardeen on the target page.
- Click Build scraper.
- Click the elements on the page you want to extract. Bardeen infers the CSS selector and proposes a column name.
- Add more fields by clicking additional elements.
- Save the scraper and click Run.
Custom scrapers are available on the Basic plan and above.
