## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Mojeek Search Scraper

Extract organic web search results from [Mojeek](https://www.mojeek.com) — an independent, privacy-focused search engine with its own built-from-scratch web index (not powered by Google, Bing, or any third party).

### Features

- **Organic results** — title, URL, snippet, domain, displayed URL
- **Pagination** — automatically follows pages (offset-based via `s` parameter) up to `maxItems`
- **Cross-page deduplication** — skips URLs already seen in previous pages
- **Knowledge panel** — extracts entity info boxes (Wikipedia-sourced) shown at the top of results
- **Site clusters** — captures "See more results from domain.com" cluster links
- **Topic tags** — extracts topic/category tags when present on results
- **Geo-targeting** — set `region` (country code) and `language` for localized results
- **Safe search** — configurable (0 = off, 1 = moderate, 2 = strict)
- **Proxy support** — works with Apify residential/datacenter proxies

### Input Parameters

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `query` | string | *(required)* | Search query |
| `maxItems` | integer | `50` | Maximum number of results to extract |
| `language` | string | `"en"` | Language code (e.g. `en`, `de`, `fr`, `es`) |
| `region` | string | `""` | Country/region code (e.g. `US`, `GB`, `IN`, `DE`) |
| `safeSearch` | integer | `0` | Safe search: `0` = off, `1` = moderate, `2` = strict |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | — | Apify proxy config (recommended: residential) |

#### Example INPUT.json

```json
{
    "query": "best electric cars 2025",
    "maxItems": 50,
    "language": "en",
    "region": "US",

#### Example Output

```json
{
    "position": 1,
    "title": "Top 10 Electric Vehicles for 2025",
    "link": "https://www.motortrend.com/features/best-electric-cars/",
    "displayedUrl": "motortrend.com › features › best-electric-cars",
    "snippet": "Our rankings for the best electric cars in 2025 based on range, performance and value...",
    "domain": "motortrend.com",
    "date": null,
    "siteCluster": { "text": "See more from motortrend.com", "url": "https://www.mojeek.com/search?q=site:motortrend.com" },
    "tags": null,
    "knowledgePanel": null,
    "searchQuery": "best electric cars 2025",
    "region": "US",
    "language": "en",
    "pageStart": 0,
    "scrapedAt": "2025-05-01T12:00:00.000Z"
}
```

### Pagination

Mojeek uses **offset-based pagination** via the `s` parameter:

- Page 1: `s=0` (or omitted)
- Page 2: `s=10`
- Page 3: `s=20`
- The scraper queues the next page automatically until `maxItems` is reached
- Duplicate URLs are tracked across pages to prevent pushing the same result twice

### Dataset Views

The dataset provides two views:

1. **Search Results Overview** — all key fields in a table (default)
2. **Results With Knowledge Panel** — focused view with knowledge panel and site cluster info

### Why Mojeek?

- **Truly independent index** — Mojeek crawls and indexes the web itself; no reliance on Google or Bing
- **Privacy-first** — no user tracking, no personalization, no filter bubble
- **Unbiased rankings** — results reflect genuine relevance, not ad spend or personalization
- **UK-based** — subject to UK GDPR, with strong data protection commitments
- **Alternative SERP data** — compare rankings across search engines for SEO analysis

### Use Cases

- **Multi-engine SEO analysis** — compare organic rankings on Mojeek vs Google, Bing, Brave
- **Research & journalism** — find sources without algorithmic curation bias
- **Market research** — understand what content Mojeek surfaces for your topics
- **Competitor monitoring** — track which competitors rank on an independent search engine
- **Knowledge graph research** — study what entities Mojeek includes in knowledge panels
