Example Process Crawl Results

So you've run a web crawler and have a pile of results—now what? This actor is your go-to for kicking off the post-processing work. It's a simple, open-source utility that iterates through every item from a crawler run and counts them, giving you that essential first look at your data's scale. To use it, you just add its URL to the finish webhook in your crawler's settings; it triggers automatically when the main job is done, so you don't have to babysit the process. Think of it as a starter template. The real value is using this code as a foundation. Maybe you need to filter for specific data points, transform formats, or push results to a database. Instead of building from scratch, you clone this actor and modify its logic. It handles the boilerplate of connecting to your crawler's dataset, letting you focus on writing the custom logic that matters for your project. I've used it to quickly validate crawl sizes before building more complex pipelines, and it saves a ton of time. It’s a pragmatic first step in turning raw crawled data into something actionable.
