Retrieve all the information right away from Instructables. Get all the project and user detailed information without any limits or restrictions. Titles, descriptions, images, comments, steps, and detailed instructions about the projects are ready in a structural way. Easy usage, super fast!
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.
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';
// Initialize the ApifyClient with API token
const client = new ApifyClient({
token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});
// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
