TypeScript Crawlee & CheerioCrawler template

A template example built with Crawlee to scrape data from a website using Cheerio wrapped into CheerioCrawler.

Included features

Apify SDK - toolkit for building Actors
Crawlee - web scraping and browser automation library
Input schema - define and easily validate a schema for your Actor's input
Dataset - store structured data where each object stored has the same attributes
Cheerio - a fast, flexible & elegant library for parsing and manipulating HTML and XML

How it works

This code is a TypeScript script that uses Crawlee CheerioCralwer framework to crawl a website and extract the data from the crawled URLs with Cheerio. It then stores the website titles in a dataset.

The crawler starts with URLs provided from the input startUrls field defined by the input schema. Number of scraped pages is limited by maxPagesPerCrawl field from input schema.
The crawler uses requestHandler for each URL to extract the data from the page with the Cheerio library and to save the title and URL of each page to the dataset. It also logs out each result that is being saved.
