Fast Scraper is a blazingly fast web scraper powered by Rust on the backend. It allows you to scrape static HTML pages extremely quickly while using only <128 MB of memory. With this scraper, you can maximize the efficiency of your credits on Apify.

You can access the Fast 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.

3// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
4// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
