Empty JavaScript template Start a new web scraping project quickly and easily in JavaScript (Node.js) with our empty project template. It provides a basic structure for building an Actor with Apify SDK and allows you to easily add your own functionality. ## Included features - Apify SDK - toolkit for building Actors - Crawlee - web scraping and browser automation library ## How it works This template is useful when you're already familiar with the Apify SDK and Crawlee and want to start with a clean slate. It does not include puppeteer or playwright so install them manually and update the Dockerfile if you need them. ## Resources - Node.js tutorials in Academy - Video guide on getting data using Apify API - Integration with Make, GitHub, Zapier, Google Drive, and other apps - A short guide on how to create Actors using code templates: web scraper template ## Getting started For complete information see this article. In short, you will: 1. Build the Actor 2. Run the Actor ## Pull the Actor for local development If you would like to develop locally, you can pull the existing Actor from Apify console using Apify CLI: 1. Install apify-cli Using Homebrew bash brew install apify-cli Using NPM bash npm -g install apify-cli 2. Pull the Actor by its unique <ActorId>, which is one of the following: - unique name of the Actor to pull (e.g. "apify/hello-world") - or ID of the Actor to pull (e.g. "E2jjCZBezvAZnX8Rb") You can find both by clicking on the Actor title at the top of the page, which will open a modal containing both Actor unique name and Actor ID. This command will copy the Actor into the current directory on your local machine. bash apify pull <ActorId> ## Documentation reference To learn more about Apify and Actors, take a look at the following resources: - Apify SDK for JavaScript documentation - Apify SDK for Python documentation - Apify Platform documentation - Join our developer community on Discord
