The scraper searches Wikipedia for a given term, extracts the titles and URLs of search results, and retrieves the last modification date from each page.

You can access the Wikipedia-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    "search_term": "Stiftung Schweiz",
12    "language": "EN Wikipedia"
13};
14
15// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
16const run = await client.actor("pluzgi/wikipedia-scraper").call(input);
17
18// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
19console.log('Results from dataset');
20console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
21const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
22items.forEach((item) => {
23    console.dir(item);
24});
