Crawls websites using raw HTTP requests. It parses the HTML with the BeautifulSoup library and extracts data from the pages using Python code. Supports both recursive crawling and lists of URLs. This Actor is a Python alternative to Cheerio Scraper.
The code examples below show how to run the Actor and get its results. To run the code, you need to have an Apify account. Replace <YOUR_API_TOKEN> in the code with your API token, which you can find under Settings > Integrations in Apify Console. Learn more
