This lightweight actor loads (NOT JUST PINGS) the provided URLs inside the actor. Perfect to read and process a URLs content and/or status, create your own cronjob, or check on the health of a url. GET, POST and other methods are possible. There's also an option to save the returned content.
You can access the Simple URL Loader / Virtual Cronjob 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.
