Create a [Firecrawl.dev](https://www.firecrawl.dev/) account and get your API key\n2. Add your Firecrawl API key to the HTTP Request node's Authorization header\n3. Connect your URL database to the input node (column name must be \"Page\") or edit the array in `Example fields from data source`\n4. Configure your preferred output database connection\n\n## How to Adjust it to Your Needs\n- Modify input source to pull URLs from different databases\n- Adjust rate limiting parameters if needed\n- Customize output format for your specific use case\n\n\nMade by Simon @ [automake.io](https://automake.io)\n"

How this works
This workflow enables you to impose time-based limits on automated processes, ensuring they pause and resume only when specific conditions are met, which saves resources and prevents unnecessary executions during off-hours or high-load periods. It's ideal for teams managing event-driven automations, such as monitoring web services with HTTP Request integrations, who need reliable control without constant oversight. The key step involves a configurable wait node that halts the chain until a predefined limit, like a daily cap or scheduled window, is reached, seamlessly integrating with your custom data sources for dynamic thresholds.
Use this workflow for straightforward rate limiting in event-triggered setups, such as throttling API calls to external services during peak times, or when integrating with tools like HTTP Request for periodic data fetches. Avoid it for complex, real-time systems requiring sub-second precision, as the wait mechanism suits longer intervals better. Common variations include adding conditional branches for varying limits based on data source inputs or combining with noOp nodes to simulate delays in testing environments.
