| # Populate a Pinecone vector database from a website | |
| Use n8n to scrape a website, load the data into Pinecone, then query it using a chat workflow. This workflow uses the [HTTP node](/integrations/builtin/core-nodes/n8n-nodes-base.httprequest/index.md) to get website data, extracts the relevant content using the [HTML node](/integrations/builtin/core-nodes/n8n-nodes-base.html.md), then uses the [Pinecone Vector Store node](/integrations/builtin/cluster-nodes/root-nodes/n8n-nodes-langchain.vectorstorepinecone.md) to send it to Pinecone. | |
| [[ workflowDemo("file:///advanced-ai/examples/populate_a_pinecone_vector_database_from_a_website.json") ]] | |
| ## Key features | |
| This workflow uses: | |
| * [HTTP node](/integrations/builtin/core-nodes/n8n-nodes-base.httprequest/index.md): fetches website data. | |
| * [HTML node](/integrations/builtin/core-nodes/n8n-nodes-base.html.md): simplifies the data by extracting the main content from the page. | |
| * [Pinecone Vector Store node](/integrations/builtin/cluster-nodes/root-nodes/n8n-nodes-langchain.vectorstorepinecone.md) and [Embeddings OpenAI](/integrations/builtin/cluster-nodes/sub-nodes/n8n-nodes-langchain.embeddingsopenai.md): transform the data into vectors and store it in Pinecone. | |
| * [Chat Trigger](/integrations/builtin/core-nodes/n8n-nodes-langchain.chattrigger/index.md) and [Question and Answer Chain](/integrations/builtin/cluster-nodes/root-nodes/n8n-nodes-langchain.chainretrievalqa/index.md) to query the vector database. | |
