Web scraping code templates

Actor templates help you quickly set up your web scraping projects, saving you development time and giving you immediate access to all the features the Apify platform has to offer.

Apify Universal Scrapers

Universal Scrapers provide you with a solid boilerplate to build fully functioning scrapers directly on the Apify platform. Configure and run your web scrapers manually in a user interface or programmatically via an API.
