Example actor built in Rust programming language. Downloads HTML from any page. Works on Apify platform and locally.
Example Apify actor in Rust
Minimal example for developing Apify actor in Rust programming language. The code is open source.
The example:
- Reads user provided URL from input
- Does HTTP request to get HTML from this URL
- Saves HTML into OUTPUT record in Key Value Store
This actor works both on Apify platform and locally.
Local usage
For local usage, you need to:
- Clone the repository
- Install Rust
- Create local storage with
apify initor manually create folder pathapify_storage/key_value_stores/default/ - Add
INPUT.jsonfile input inside this path that looks like this:
1{ 2 "url": "https://apify.com" 3}
- Build and run the solution with
cargo run - You can find
OUTPUT.htmlnext toINPUT.json
Current problems
- Apify currently doesn't allow increasing memory for builds so they sometimes fails by running out of memory
- Apify caches the Docker images on its servers. Rust is not yet used much there so a lot of runs have slow cold starts.
