Documentation
Example Apify actor in Rust Minimal example for developing Apify actor in Rust programming language. The code is open source. The example: - Reads user provided URL from input - Does HTTP request to get HTML from this URL - Saves HTML into OUTPUT record in Key Value Store This actor works both on Apify platform and locally. ## Local usage For local usage, you need to: 1. Clone the repository 2. Install Rust 3. Create local storage with apify init or manually create folder path apify_storage/key_value_stores/default/ 4. Add INPUT.json file input inside this path that looks like this: json { "url": "https://apify.com" } 5. Build and run the solution with cargo run 6. You can find OUTPUT.html next to INPUT.json ## Current problems - Apify currently doesn't allow increasing memory for builds so they sometimes fails by running out of memory - Apify caches the Docker images on its servers. Rust is not yet used much there so a lot of runs have slow cold starts. ## Where next? If you want to see more complex scraping project in Rust, check Rust Scraper which is also open source
