Crawls websites using raw HTTP requests, parses the HTML with the Cheerio library, and extracts data from the pages using a Node.js code. Supports both recursive crawling and lists of URLs. This actor is a high-performance alternative to apify/web-scraper for websites that do not require JavaScript.
Exclude Glob Patterns (excludes): Glob patterns to match links in the page that you want to exclude from being enqueued.
3.0 (version-3)
Rewrite from Apify SDK to Crawlee, see the v3 migration guide for more details.
Proxy usage is now required.
2.0 (version-2)
Main difference between v1 and v2 of the scrapers is the upgrade of SDK to v2, which requires node v15.10+. SDK v2 uses http2 to do the requests with cheerio-scraper, and the http2 support in older node versions were too buggy, so we decided to drop support for those. If you need to run on older node version, use SDK v1.
Please refer to the SDK 1.0 migration guide for more details about functional changes in the SDK. SDK v2 basically only changes the required node version and has no other breaking changes.
