This Actor is unavailable because the developer has decided to deprecate it. Would you like to try a similar Actor instead?

PhantomJS is 6 to 10 times faster than puppeteer per Compute Unit. Sends an email when the task is complete. The input screen has been improved. Note: PhantomJS is no longer being developed and might be detected and blocked by websites.
You can access the Phantom.js Scraper programmatically from your own JavaScript 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.

4// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
