Sample output

Real output from a live run of this Actor (https://apify.com):

{
  "url": "https://apify.com",
  "finalUrl": "https://apify.com/",
  "status": 200,
  "title": "Apify: The largest marketplace of trusted tools for AI",
  "description": "Thousands of tools to automate your business. Get real-time web data, track competitors, generate leads, and integrate your apps and AI agents.",
  "canonical": "https://apify.com/",
  "lang": "en",
  "og": {
    "title": "Apify: The largest marketplace of trusted tools for AI",
    "type": "website",
    "site_name": "Apify",
    "image": "https://apify.com/og-image?title=Thousands+of+tools%0Afor+your+AI"
  },
  "twitter": {
    "card": "summary_large_image",
    "creator": "@apify"
  },
  "jsonLdTypes": ["Organization", "WebSite", "SoftwareApplication"],
  "favicon": "https://apify.com/favicon.ico?favicon.2653ilt32bing.ico?dpl=ff1ad5e33f",
  "error": null
}

A URL that 404s or isn't HTML still comes back as one item, with whatever was actually recoverable and an error explaining what wasn't:

{ "url": "https://example.com/this-page-does-not-exist-404", "finalUrl": "https://example.com/this-page-does-not-exist-404",
  "status": 404, "title": "Example Domain", "lang": "en", "favicon": "https://example.com/favicon.ico", "error": "HTTP 404" }

{ "url": "https://www.apify.com/favicon.ico", "finalUrl": "https://apify.com/favicon.ico", "status": 200,
  "title": null, "og": {}, "twitter": {}, "jsonLdTypes": [], "favicon": null,
  "error": "Not HTML (content-type: image/x-icon)" }

Download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, or query it over the API.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Notes
`urls`	string[]	`["https://example.com", "https://apify.com"]`*	Web page URLs to extract metadata from.
`maxConcurrency`	integer	`10`	How many URLs to fetch in parallel (1–50).

* The default only applies when urls is left empty — this is what a zero-config run uses, so it always returns real metadata in a few seconds.

Pricing

Pay per event, no subscription:

Event	Price	When
Actor start	$0.001	Once per run
URL processed	$0.001	Once per URL attempted — including 404s, timeouts, and non-HTML responses, since fetching them still consumes platform resources (primary event)

Worked examples:

10 URLs: $0.001 + 10 × $0.001 = $0.011.
1,000 URLs: $0.001 + 1,000 × $0.001 = $1.001.
The default sample run (example.com, apify.com — 2 items): $0.001 + 2 × $0.001 = $0.003.
Free plan: this Actor is HTTP-only, 256–512 MB, and a 1,000-URL run finishes in well under a minute — the $5/month free platform usage covers a large volume of occasional runs on top of the event price.

The minimum spend guard (minimalMaxTotalChargeUsd) is $0.05 — small enough for an agent to call this tool with a tiny budget.

Output fields

Field	Description
`url`	Requested URL.
`finalUrl`	URL after redirects (`null` if the request failed outright).
`status`	HTTP status code (`0` = request never got a response).
`title`	`<title>`.
`description`	`<meta name="description">`.
`canonical`	`<link rel="canonical">`, resolved to an absolute URL.
`lang`	`<html lang="...">`.
`og`	Open Graph tags (`og:*`), keyed by the part after `og:`.
`twitter`	Twitter Card tags (`twitter:*`), keyed by the part after `twitter:`.
`jsonLdTypes`	`@type` value(s) from every `application/ld+json` block on the page.
`favicon`	Absolute favicon URL. Falls back to `/favicon.ico` when the page declares none (or an empty `data:` icon, which some sites use on purpose) — this is a best-effort guess, not verified to exist.
`error`	Set when the URL couldn't be fetched, returned a non-2xx status, or wasn't HTML. The item (and its charge) still exists — resources were spent either way — but most fields will be `null`.

Limitations & notes

HTTP-only: pages that require JavaScript to render their metadata (rare — OpenGraph/Twitter Card/JSON-LD are meant to be readable from the raw HTML) won't get the client-rendered fields.
Non-HTML responses (images, PDFs, etc.) are detected from the Content-Type header and skipped before parsing; you still get a dataset item with status and an error, and it is still charged.
Public page metadata only — no login, no personal data.
Not affiliated with Google, Meta, Twitter/X, or any site this Actor is pointed at; OpenGraph, Twitter Card, and JSON-LD are open, documented HTML conventions, not proprietary APIs.
