A small efficient actor that loads a web page, parses its HTML using Cheerio library and extracts the following meta-data from the <HEAD> tag, such as page title, description, author etc.
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 = {
"urls": [
"https://www.apify.com/",
"https://blog.apify.com"
],
"proxy": {
"useApifyProxy": true
}
};
(async () => {
// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("jancurn/extract-metadata").call(input);
// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
console.dir(item);
});
})();
