To run the code examples, you need to have an Apify account. Replace <YOUR_API_TOKEN> in the code with your API token. For a more detailed explanation, please read about running actors via the API in Apify Docs.
const { ApifyClient } = require('apify-client');
// Initialize the ApifyClient with API token
const client = new ApifyClient({
token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});
// Prepare actor input
const input = {
"searchKeywords": "Madonna",
"maxResults": 50,
"extendOutputFunction": async ({ data, item, page, request, customData }) => {
return item;
},
"extendScraperFunction": async ({ page, request, requestQueue, customData, Apify, extendOutputFunction }) => {
},
"customData": {},
"handlePageTimeoutSecs": 3600,
"proxyConfiguration": {
"useApifyProxy": true
}
};
(async () => {
// Run the actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("bernardo/youtube-scraper").call(input);
// Fetch and print actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
console.dir(item);
});
})();
