How to use Web Scraper from Apify to scrape any website

Apify's Web Scraper is a generic easy-to-use actor for crawling arbitrary web pages and extracting structured data from them using a few lines of JavaScript code. The actor loads web pages in the Chromium browser and renders dynamic content. Web Scraper can either be configured and run manually in a user interface or programmatically using the API. The extracted data is stored in a dataset, from where it can be exported to various formats, such as JSON, XML, or CSV.

Hi, I used " .textContent " in the web console but the output is "Undefined". However, when I used ".text()", it worked. Why is it different from the video?

Hi! How to scrape data from a forum and internal messages on a website that requires a previous login?

You mentioned scraping recursion (scraping the content of linked URLs of a homepage) here and that it would be covered in a future video. Is the video out yet? I couldn't find anything on your YouTube channel.

hi there how are you? I wanted to ask you and maybe you can make a video of that, a technique to attract new customers,

I have not been able to do it in a massive way, but manually and it takes time,

the technique is to search with some script or something like that, I don't know anything about programming, look for websites that don't have the whatsapp button and offer them the code to create a future relationship for local seo work.

How can I do that with multiple URLs? And multiple APIs ...

Hey Apify, how can I scrap for Link <a>?

How is this easier to the developer than him setting up their own scrapper with cheerio or puppeteer? I honestly don't see a benefit here cause we still coding and investigating elements ourselves.

This looks too hard for a beginner who doesn't know jquery.
