Pricing

This actor supports Pay-Per-Event (PPE) pricing on the Apify marketplace. You are charged per successfully analyzed website. The actor automatically stops processing when your budget limit is reached, so you never overspend.

Free tier usage is also supported — the actor works the same way without PPE, storing all results in the dataset.

FAQ

Q: How many URLs can I process at once? A: The default limit is 1,000 URLs per run, but you can increase maxRequestsPerCrawl for larger batches.

Q: What if a website blocks the request? A: The actor uses realistic browser headers and automatic retries. Most websites respond successfully.

Q: Does it work with Single Page Applications (SPAs)? A: Yes! The actor detects SPA frameworks (React, Vue, Angular, Next.js) through HTML markers, script references, and meta tags present in the initial response.

Q: How accurate is the detection? A: Detection uses multiple signature patterns per technology to minimize false positives. Accuracy is typically 90%+ for major platforms.

Q: How is PPE pricing calculated? A: Each website analyzed (success or error) counts as one metadata-extracted event. You set your budget limit, and the actor stops when it's reached.
