You can access the Playwright Scraper programmatically from your own applications by using the Apify API. You can also choose the language preference from below. To use the Apify API, you’ll need an Apify account and your API token, found in Integrations settings in Apify Console.
1import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';2
3// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token4// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token5const client = new ApifyClient({6 token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',7});8
9// Prepare Actor input10const input = {11 "startUrls": [12 {13 "url": "https://crawlee.dev/js"14 }15 ],16 "globs": [17 {18 "glob": "https://crawlee.dev/js/*/*"19 }20 ],21 "pseudoUrls": [],22 "excludes": [23 {24 "glob": "/**/*.{png,jpg,jpeg,pdf}"25 }26 ],27 "linkSelector": "a",28 "respectRobotsTxtFile": true,29 "pageFunction": async function pageFunction(context) {30 const { page, request, log } = context;31 const title = await page.title();32 log.info(`URL: ${request.url} TITLE: ${title}`);33 return {34 url: request.url,35 title36 };37 },38 "proxyConfiguration": {39 "useApifyProxy": true40 },41 "initialCookies": [],42 "launcher": "chromium",43 "waitUntil": "networkidle",44 "preNavigationHooks": `// We need to return array of (possibly async) functions here.45 // The functions accept two arguments: the "crawlingContext" object46 // and "gotoOptions".47 [48 async (crawlingContext, gotoOptions) => {49 const { page } = crawlingContext;50 // ...51 },52 ]`,53 "postNavigationHooks": `// We need to return array of (possibly async) functions here.54 // The functions accept a single argument: the "crawlingContext" object.55 [56 async (crawlingContext) => {57 const { page } = crawlingContext;58 // ...59 },60 ]`,61 "customData": {}62};63
64// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish65const run = await client.actor("apify/playwright-scraper").call(input);66
