This actor scrapes data from a list of provided URLs using regular expressions for precise and customizable pattern matching. It can handle both static and dynamic web pages and supports depth-based crawling to explore links and extract data from multiple levels of the web.
You can access the RegExp 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.
1import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';
2
3// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
4// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
5const client = new ApifyClient({
6 token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
7});
8
9// Prepare Actor input
10const input = {
11 "startUrls": [
12 {
13 "url": "https://apify.com"
14 }
15 ],
16 "patterns": "(?<=href=[\"'])([^\"']+)",
17 "crawlerType": "Crawlee + Cheerio"
18};
19
20// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
21const run = await client.actor("ib4ngz/regexp-scraper").call(input);
22
23// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
24console.log('Results from dataset');
25console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
26const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
27items.forEach((item) => {
28 console.dir(item);
29});
