Data Fields

Output fields depend on your extracting script. Common patterns include:

Example Request

 "startUrls": "https://example.com",
 "pageFunction": 1,
 "proxyConfiguration": {
 "useApifyProxy": true
 }
}

Example Response

{
 "url": "https://example.com",
 "title": "Example Domain",
 "text": "This domain is for use in illustrative examples...",
 "links": ["https://www.iana.org/domains/reserved"]
}

Limits and Tips

• JavaScript-heavy pages require a browser-based data extractor (browser automation or browser automation). For static HTML, jsdom is faster.
• Processing time depends on page load speed and script complexity — typically 10–60 seconds per page.
• Results are cached for up to 15 minutes. Re-running the same URL may return cached data.
• Respect robots.txt and the target site's terms of service when extracting.
