List of URLs that will be loaded by the crawler on start. For a POST request, append [POST] to the URL, e.g. http://www.example.com/[POST]
Specifies URLs of pages to crawl. Put regular expressions in [ ] brackets, e.g. http://www.example.com/[.*]
CSS selector used to find links to other web pages. Leave empty to ignore all links.
For example: a[href]
JavaScript function that is executed on every crawled page, use it to extract data. Note that only ES5.1 syntax is supported.
JavaScript function called whenever the crawler finds a link or form leading to a new web page. Note that only ES5.1 syntax is supported
Indicates that the URL fragment identifier (i.e. http://example.com/page#this-guy-here) should be considered when matching a URL against a Pseudo-URL or when checking whether a page has already been visited. Typically, URL fragments are used as internal page anchors and therefore they should be ignored because they don't represent separate pages. However, many AJAX-based website nowadays use URL fragment to represent page parameters; in such cases, this option should be enabled.
Indicates whether the crawler should load HTML images, both those included using the <img> tag as well as those included in CSS styles. Disable this feature after you have fine-tuned your crawler in order to increase crawling performance and reduce your bandwidth costs.
Indicates whether the crawler should load CSS stylesheet files. Disable this feature after you have fine-tuned your crawler in order to increase crawling performance and reduce your bandwidth costs.
Indicates that the jQuery library should be injected into each page before Page function is invoked. Note that the jQuery object will not be registered into global namespace in order to avoid conflicts with libraries used by the web page. It can only be accessed through context.jQuery.
Indicates that the Underscore.js library should be injected into each page before Page function is invoked. Note that the Underscore object will not be registered into global namespace in order to avoid conflicts with libraries used by the web page. It can only be accessed through context.underscoreJs.
Indicates that the crawler should ignore robots.txt, <meta name='robots'> tags and X-Robots-Tag HTTP headers. Use this feature at your own risk!
Indicates that child frames included using FRAME or IFRAME tags will not be loaded by the crawler. This might improve crawling performance. As a side-effect, JavaScript redirects issued by the page before it was completely loaded will not be performed, which might be useful in certain situations.
If enabled, the log will also contain DEBUG messages. Note that this setting will dramatically slow down the crawler as well as your web browser and increase the log size.
If checked, the virtual browser will allow cross-domain XHRs and untrusted SSL certificates, so that your crawler can access content from any domain. Only activate this feature if you know what you're doing!
If checked, the crawler automatically rotates the User-Agent HTTP header for each new IP address, from a pre-defined list. This settings overwrites User-Agent set in Custom HTTP headers.
Maximum number of pages that the crawler will open. The crawl will stop when this limit is reached. Always set this value in order to prevent infinite loops in misconfigured crawlers. Note that in cases of parallel crawling, the actual number of pages visited might be slightly higher than this value.
Maximum number of pages the crawler can output to JSON. The crawl will stop when this limit is reached. This value is useful when you only need a limited number of results.
Defines how many links away from the start URLs the crawler will descend. This value is a safeguard against infinite crawling depths on misconfigured crawlers. Note that pages added using enqueuePage() in Page function are not subject to the maximum depth constraint.
This field has been deprecated and its value is ignored. To set the execution timeout, use the actor run timeout option instead.
Timeout for network resources loaded by the crawler, in milliseconds.
Timeout for web page load, in milliseconds. If the web page does not load in this time frame, it is considered to have failed and will be retried, similarly as with other page load errors.
Timeout for the asynchronous part of the Page function, in milliseconds. Note that this value is only applied if your page function runs code in the background, i.e. when it invokes context.willFinishLater(). The page function itself always runs to completion regardless of the timeout.
Defines the maximum client height in pixels to which the browser window is scrolled in order to fetch dynamic AJAX-based content from the web server. By default, the crawler doesn't scroll and uses a fixed browser window size. Note that you might need to enable Download HTML images to make infinite scroll work, because otherwise the crawler wouldn't know that some resources are still being loaded and will stop infinite scrolling prematurely.
This option forces the crawler to ensure a minimum time interval between opening two web pages, in order to prevent it from overloading the target server. The actual minimum time is a random value drawn from a Gaussian distribution with a mean specified by your setting (in milliseconds) and a standard deviation corresponding to 25% of the mean. The minimum value is 1000 milliseconds, the crawler never issues requests in shorter intervals than 1000 milliseconds.
Maximum number of pages that a single crawling process will open before it is restarted with a new proxy server setting. This option can help avoid the blocking of the crawler by the target server and also ensures that the crawling processes don't grow too large, as they are killed periodically.
The maximum number of parallel processes that will perform the crawl. The actual number might be lower if the actor runs without enough memory. Note that each parallel process uses a different proxy (if enabled).
The maximum number of times the crawler will retry to open a web page on load error. Note that on page function errors, the pages are not retried.
Custom HTTP headers set by the crawler to all requests. It is an array of objects, where each object has the key and value properties.
Specifies the type of proxy servers that will be used by the crawler in order to hide its origin.
Specifies the type of proxy servers that will be used by the crawler.
This is a legacy option only kept for backwards compatibility, use proxyConfiguration instead!
Specifies Apify Proxy groups to be used when proxyType is SELECTED_PROXY_GROUPS.
This is a legacy option only kept for backwards compatibility - use proxyConfiguration instead!
[]Specifies Apify Proxy groups to be used when proxyType is CUSTOM. Each proxy should be specified in the scheme://user:password@host:port format, multiple proxies should be separated by a space or new line.
This is a legacy option only kept for backwards compatibility - use proxyConfiguration instead!
A custom JSON object that is passed to Page function and intercept request function as context.customData. This setting is mainly useful if you're invoking the crawler using the API, so that you can pass some arbitrary parameters to your code.
An HTTP endpoint that receives a POST request right after the run of this actor finishes. The POST payload is a JSON object with the following properties: actorId, runId, taskId, datasetId and data
