Python Crawlee with BeautifulSoup template A template for web scraping data from websites starting from provided URLs using Python. The starting URLs are passed through the Actor's input schema, defined by the input schema. The template uses Crawlee for Python for efficient web crawling, handling each request through a user-defined handler that uses Beautiful Soup to extract data from the page. Enqueued URLs are managed in the request queue, and the extracted data is saved in a dataset for easy access. ## Included features - Apify SDK - a toolkit for building Apify Actors in Python. - Crawlee for Python - a web scraping and browser automation library. - Input schema - define and validate a schema for your Actor's input. - Request queue - manage the URLs you want to scrape in a queue. - Dataset - store and access structured data extracted from web pages. - Beautiful Soup - a library for pulling data out of HTML and XML files. ## Resources - Video introduction to Python SDK - Webinar introducing to Crawlee for Python - Apify Python SDK documentation - Crawlee for Python documentation - Python tutorials in Academy - Integration with Make, GitHub, Zapier, Google Drive, and other apps - Video guide on getting scraped data using Apify API - A short guide on how to build web scrapers using code templates: web scraper template ## Getting started For complete information see this article.
