🔥 Features

Full HTML Capture – Downloads complete HTML source code from any URL, including JavaScript-rendered content.
Browser Automation – Uses Playwright for headless browser navigation to access fully loaded HTML pages.
Screenshot Generation – Captures page previews as PNG images for visual HTML analysis.
Dynamic Content Handling – Waits for page loads and JavaScript execution to ensure complete HTML extraction.
Secure Storage – Saves HTML files and screenshots in Apify's Key-Value Store for easy access.
Single URL Processing – Processes one URL per run for precise HTML results.
Error Handling – Robust logging for issues during HTML downloading.
Dataset Integration – Automatically uploads HTML metadata to your Apify dataset for easy export and analysis.

⚙️ How It Works

The Download HTML from URLs takes a target URL as input and uses Playwright to launch a headless browser, navigate to the URL, and wait for the page to fully load. It captures the full HTML source and takes a screenshot, then saves the HTML and image files to Apify's Key-Value Store while pushing metadata to the dataset. This approach ensures reliable, complete HTML extraction from any web page.

Key Processing Steps:

URL Validation – Parse and validate the provided URL
Browser Launch – Initialize headless Playwright browser
Page Navigation – Navigate to the target URL
Content Loading – Wait for full page load and JavaScript execution
HTML Capture – Extract complete HTML source code
Screenshot – Capture page preview as PNG image
Secure Storage – Save files to Key-Value Store
Data Export – Push metadata to dataset

Key benefits for HTML analysis:

Access full HTML source for web scraping and research.
Capture dynamic HTML content that requires JavaScript.
Build HTML archives for content preservation.
Analyze page structure and metadata.
Extract rendered HTML content accurately.
