Documentation
PlaywrightCrawler template This template is a production-ready boilerplate for developing an Actor with PlaywrightCrawler. Use this to bootstrap your projects using the most up-to-date code. > We decided to split Apify SDK into two libraries, Crawlee and Apify SDK v3. Crawlee will retain all the crawling and scraping-related tools and will always strive to be the best web scraping library for its community. At the same time, Apify SDK will continue to exist, but keep only the Apify-specific features related to building actors on the Apify platform. Read the upgrading guide to learn about the changes. > ## Resources If you're looking for examples or want to learn more visit: - Crawlee + Apify Platform guide - Documentation and examples - Node.js tutorials in Academy - Scraping single-page applications with Playwright - How to scale Puppeteer and Playwright - Integration with Zapier, Make, GitHub, Google Drive and other apps - Video guide on getting data using Apify API - A short guide on how to create Actors using code templates: web scraper template ## Getting started For complete information see this article.
