Pro Web Content Crawler is a powerful tool that digs deep into web content and images. It handles complex sites, dynamic pages, and hidden content, making it perfect for extracting both data and images. Customizable and API-ready for your unique data needs.

Python Crawlee with BeautifulSoup template

A template for web scraping data from websites starting from provided URLs using Python. The starting URLs are passed through the Actor's input schema, defined by the input schema. The template uses Crawlee for Python for efficient web crawling, handling each request through a user-defined handler that uses Beautiful Soup to extract data from the page. Enqueued URLs are managed in the request queue, and the extracted data is saved in a dataset for easy access.

Included features

  • Apify SDK - a toolkit for building Apify Actors in Python.
  • Crawlee for Python - a web scraping and browser automation library.
  • Input schema - define and validate a schema for your Actor's input.
  • Request queue - manage the URLs you want to scrape in a queue.
  • Dataset - store and access structured data extracted from web pages.
  • Beautiful Soup - a library for pulling data out of HTML and XML files.

Resources

Getting started

For complete information see this article. In short, you will:

  1. Build the Actor
  2. Run the Actor

Pull the Actor for local development

If you would like to develop locally, you can pull the existing Actor from Apify console using Apify CLI:

  1. Install apify-cli

    Using Homebrew

    brew install apify-cli

    Using NPM

    npm -g install apify-cli
  2. Pull the Actor by its unique <ActorId>, which is one of the following:

    • unique name of the Actor to pull (e.g. "apify/hello-world")
    • or ID of the Actor to pull (e.g. "E2jjCZBezvAZnX8Rb")

    You can find both by clicking on the Actor title at the top of the page, which will open a modal containing both Actor unique name and Actor ID.

    This command will copy the Actor into the current directory on your local machine.

    apify pull <ActorId>
