Web Scraping API by InstantAPI.ai

Overview

Unbeatably simple web scraping.

Easily capture data from any website with a single API. Forget xPath, manual updates, and broken scrapers—our web scraping API handles it all.

The concept is simple. Imagine your target web page had an API. What would the method name be, and what data outputs would it have, to satisfy your web scraping requirements?

Usage

To use this actor, you need to provide the following inputs:

• url: The URL of the web page you want to scrape.
• method: The API method name you imagined.
• output: The imagined data output of the API's response.
• proxy_country: The country code for using a premium web proxy (if needed).

Example Input

1{
2    "url": "https://apify.com/pricing",
3    "method": "getApifyPricingPlans",
4    "output": "{\"plans\":[{\"name\":\"\",\"monthly_price\":\"\",\"prepaid_usage\":\"\",\"compute_units\":\"\",\"actor_ram\":\"\",\"max_concurrent_users\":\"\",\"rented_actors\":\"\"}]}"
5}

Example Output

The output will be structured according to the output parameter you specify. For example:

1[
2    {
3        "plans": [
4            {
