Scrape Lobste.rs posts and users based on any search criteria. Retrieve all the comments, domains, tags, titles, number of upvotes, and published dates. Use this extremely fast actor to retrieve all the information right away. Easy use and no limits!
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 = {
