JSDOM Scraper

Parses the HTML using the JSDOM library, providing the same DOM API as browsers do (e.g. `window`). It is able to process client-side JavaScript without using a real browser. Performance-wise, it stands somewhere between the Cheerio Scraper and the browser scrapers.

https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/apify~jsdom-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_API_TOKEN>Note: This endpoint supports both POST and GET request methods. However, only the POST method allows you to pass input data. For more information, please refer to our Run Actor synchronously and get dataset items API documentation .

Actors can be used to scrape web pages, extract data, or automate browser tasks. Use the JSDOM Scraper API programmatically via the Apify API.
You can choose from:
You can start JSDOM Scraper with the Apify API by sending an HTTP POST request to the Run Actor endpoint. An Actor’s input and its content type can be passed as a payload of the POST request, and additional options can be specified using URL query parameters. The JSDOM Scraper is identified within the API by its ID, which is the creator’s username and the name of the Actor.
When the JSDOM Scraper run finishes you can list the data from its default dataset (storage) via the API or you can preview the data directly on Apify Console .
