They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. - **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use). - **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`. - **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`. - **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`. - **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## 🤖 Newscrusher.ai AI News Scraper

### What Data Can You Get? **Newscrusher.ai AI News Scraper** scrapes a powerful AI news aggregator website called newscrusher.ai. The website contains a live news feed of all AI News articles from almost all newspaper websites you can imagine, updated 24/7. Example newspapers whose articles are included in Newscrusher.ai include Wall Street Journal, Tech Crunch, Quartz, Futurism, The Verge, OpenAI, The New Stack, Towards Data Science, Geeky Gadgets, AWS ML Blog, and more. For each article, you get the following data: 1. `id` — A unique Newscrusher.ai identifier for the article. 2. `headline` — The headline of the article. 3. `subHeadline` — The sub headline of the article. 4. `publishedAt` — The date and time the article was published on the original newspaper website, in UTC timezone and ISO format. 5. `publisherDomain` — The domain of the website of the publisher newspaper. 6. `newspaper` — The name of the publisher newspaper. 7. `articleUrl` — The URL for the article on the original newspaper website. 8. `priorityScore` — An importance score provided by Newscrusher.ai to indicate how important each article is. 9. `articleTags` — A list of tags for the article (will be `null` if article summaries are disabled in the Actor input). 10. `articleSummary` — An AI-generated summary for the article's content (will be `null` if article summaries are disabled in the Actor input). 11. `readTime` — The estimated time it would take the average reader to read the full article (will be `null` if article summaries are disabled in the Actor input). 12. `scrapedAt` — The date and time the article was scraped from Newscrusher.ai, in UTC timezone and ISO format. 13. `keyTakeaways` — An AI-generated list of 5 key takeaways to know from the article (will be `null` if article summaries are disabled in the Actor input). ##### Example Actor Output ```json { "id": "5c7a0cfb", "headline": "AIR raises $50M to help companies vet the skills and add-ons AI agents use", "subHeadline": "AIR's platform can discover agents running at a company, continuously vets any skills and add-ons they use, and blocks any unwanted behaviour.", "publishedAt": "2026-09-01T15:45:51+00:00", "publisherDomain": "techcrunch.com", "newspaper": "Techcrunch", "articleUrl": "https://techcrunch.com/2026/09/01/air-raises-50m-to-help-companies-vet-the-skills-and-add-ons-ai-agents-use/", "priorityScore": 70, "articleTags": [ "Agents", "Enterprise Adoption" ], "articleSummary": "AIR secured $50 million in funding to expand its platform for discovering, monitoring, and controlling AI agents within enterprise environments. The solution identifies agents running across company systems, continuously evaluates their capabilities and integrations, and prevents unauthorized or risky behaviors from executing.

The platform addresses growing concerns about AI agent proliferation in enterprises, where multiple agents may operate independently without centralized oversight. By providing visibility and control mechanisms, AIR enables organizations to maintain security, compliance, and governance standards as AI agents become more prevalent in business operations.", "readTime": "2 mins", "scrapedAt": "2026-09-01T17:09:28.876572+00:00", "keyTakeaways": [ "AIR secured $50 million in funding to expand its AI agent management platform.", "The platform discovers all AI agents operating within company infrastructure and systems.", "It continuously vets agent capabilities, add-ons, and integrations to identify potential risks.", "The system blocks unwanted behaviors and prevents unauthorized agent actions from executing.", "The solution addresses enterprise concerns about AI agent proliferation and the need for centralized oversight and control." ] } ``` **For more information on the Actor's output, check the output schema.** *DISCLAIMER: The developer of this Actor is not affiliated in anyway whatsoever with the Newscrusher.ai website.* ### Actor Input Options 1. **Maximum News Articles** (`maxResults`) — The maximum number of articles to scrape in each Actor run. 2. **Sort** (`sort`) — Specifies how to sort the articles feed (`hot`, `latest`, `top-news`, or `top-research`). 3. **Time Span** (`timeSpan`) — The time span in which to look for articles. Options are `today`, `yesterday`, and `this-week`. If your `sort` is set to `hot`, only a `timeSpan` of `today` is supported. If you choose any other option in this case, it will be automatically considered `today`. If your `sort` is set to `latest`, the `this-week` time span is not supported and will be considered `today`. These limitations are NOT the Actor's fault. That's just how the website behaves. 4. **Include Summaries** (`includeSummaries`) — Whether to include the article summaries in the Actor's output. Articles with their summaries included cost slightly higher than articles without summaries. This option is set to `true` by default. Be sure to disable it if you don't need summaries. 5. **Tags Section** — This is a section for the tags to be enabled. Each tag is an option with the tag's name and can be set to `true` or `false` for enabling and disabling, respectively. You can enable multiple tags. **For more information on the Actor's input options, check the input schema.** ### How to Use the Actor?
