This repository contains a node script designed to crawl the Massa blockchain network and count the number of running nodes. The Massa blockchain is a decentralized and community-driven blockchain that relies on a network of nodes to operate effectively. This crawler helps in providing insights into the network's health by counting the number of active nodes.
Before you begin, ensure that you have Node.js and npm installed on your machine. You can download them from https://nodejs.org/.
