This Apify actor analyzes a web page on a specific URL. It extracts HTML and javascript variables from main response and HTML/JSON data from XHR requests. Then it analyses loaded data:
- It performs analysis of initial HTML (html loaded directly from response):
- Looks for Schema.org data and if it finds anything, it saves it to output as
schemaOrgDatavariable. - Looks for JSON-LD link tags and parses found JSON, if it finds anything it outputs it as
jsonLDDatavariable. - Looks for
metaandtitletags and outputs found content asmetadatavariable.
- Loads all XHR requests -> discards request that do no contain HTML or JSON -> parses HTML and JSON into objects
- When all XHR requests are finished it loads HTML from the rendered page (it might have changed thanks to JS manipulation) and does work from step 1 again because javascript might have changed the HTML of the website.
- Loads all window variables and discards common global variables (console, innerHeight, navigator, ...), cleans the output (removes all functions and circular paths) and outputs it as
allWindowPropertiesvariable.
When analysis is finished it checks INPUT parameters if there are any strings to search for and if there are. Then it attempts to find the strings in all found content.
The actor ends when all output is parsed and searched. If connection to URL fails or if any part of the actor crashes, the actor ends with error in output and log.
Input to actor is provided from INPUT file. If the actor is run through Apify, then INPUT comes from key value store. If you want to start the actor localy, then call
npm run start-local
and provide input as a file in directory kv-store-dev.
INPUT
{
// url to website, that is supposed to be analyzed
"url": "http://example.com",
// array of strings too look for on the website, if empty, search is skipped during analysis
"searchFor": ["About us"]
}During the actor run, it saves output into OUTPUT file, which is saved in key value store if the actor is run through Apify, or in kv-store-dev folder if the actor is run localy.
