You can access the Scrapy Executor 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 token
4// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
5const client = new ApifyClient({
6 token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
7});
8
9// Prepare Actor input
10const input = {
11 "scrapyCode": `import scrapy
12 import apify
13
14 class MySpider(scrapy.Spider):
15 name = 'apifySpider'
16
17 def start_requests(self):
18 urls = [
19 'https://apify.com',
20 'https://apify.com/store',
21 ]
22 for url in urls:
23 yield scrapy.Request(url=url, callback=self.parse)
24
25 def parse(self, response):
26 url = response.url
27 title = response.css('title::text').get()
28 output = {
29 'url': url,
30 'title': title
31 }
32 apify.pushData(output)`
33};
34
35// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
36const run = await client.actor("apify/scrapy-executor").call(input);
37
38// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
39console.log('Results from dataset');
40console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
41const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
42items.forEach((item) => {
43 console.dir(item);
44});
