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. 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 ## Ads-free Website Screenshotter Capture clean, full-page screenshots of any website — free of cookie consent banners, ads, and pop-ups. Get regional versions of pages by selecting the browser language and the country of the exit IP address. ### Features - **Clean screenshots** — the browser runs through a residential proxy network with ad-blocking, so cookie consent dialogs and advertising banners do not appear in the output - **Full-page capture** — scrolls the entire page before taking the screenshot so lazy-loaded images and content are fully rendered - **Regional targeting** — set a two-letter country code (`country`) to route traffic through a residential IP in that country, and set `acceptLanguage` to match the local language; together they produce authentic regional versions of any page - **Static thumbnail** — always generated alongside the full screenshot; a small PNG cropped from the top of the page - **Animated thumbnail** — optional animated GIF that scrolls through the entire page, giving a compact visual preview of the full content ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `url` | string | — | **Required.** URL of the page to screenshot | | `country` | string | `DE` | Two-letter country code for the proxy exit IP (e.g. `US`, `GB`, `FR`) | | `acceptLanguage` | string | `en-US,en;q=0.9` | Value of the `Accept-Language` header sent to the page | | `viewportWidth` | integer | `1920` | Browser viewport width in pixels (800–3000) | | `viewportHeight` | integer | `1080` | Browser viewport height in pixels (800–3000) | | `fullPage` | boolean | `true` | Capture the entire scrollable page; disable for viewport-only | | `thumbWidth` | integer | `256` | Thumbnail width in pixels (32–512). If only one dimension is given, the other is calculated from the viewport ratio | | `thumbHeight` | integer | `256` | Thumbnail height in pixels (32–512) | | `animatedThumbnail` | boolean | `false` | Generate an animated GIF thumbnail that scrolls through the full page | ### Output Each run produces one dataset record and three files in the key-value store: ```json { "url": "https://example.com", "screenshotUrl": "https://api.apify.com/...", "thumbnailUrl": "https://api.apify.com/...", "animatedThumbnailUrl": "https://api.apify.com/...", "capturedAt": "2024-01-15T12:00:00.000Z" } ```` | Key | Format | Description | |---|---|---| | `screenshot` | PNG | Full-page or viewport screenshot | | `thumbnail` | PNG | Static thumbnail cropped from the top of the page | | `thumbnail_animated` | GIF | Animated scrolling thumbnail (only when `animatedThumbnail` is enabled) | ### Regional screenshots example To get a German version of a page: ```json { "url": "https://example.com", "country": "DE", "acceptLanguage": "de-DE,de;q=0.9" } ``` To get a French version: ```json { "url": "https://example.com", "country": "FR", "acceptLanguage": "fr-FR,fr;q=0.9" } ``` ### Animated thumbnail When `animatedThumbnail` is enabled, the actor generates a looping GIF that scrolls vertically through the entire page. The animation pauses at the top, at each viewport-height interval, and at the bottom — making it easy to skim long pages at a glance. The GIF dimensions match the static thumbnail dimensions (`thumbWidth` × `thumbHeight`). # Actor input Schema ## `url` (type: `string`): Website URL to screenshot. ## `viewportWidth` (type: `integer`): Browser viewport width in pixels. ## `viewportHeight` (type: `integer`): Browser viewport height in pixels. ## `fullPage` (type: `boolean`): Capture the entire scrollable page. When disabled, only the visible viewport is captured. ## `acceptLanguage` (type: `string`): Value of the Accept-Language header sent to the browser. ## `animatedThumbnail` (type: `boolean`): Generate an animated GIF thumbnail that scrolls through the full page. ## `thumbWidth` (type: `integer`): Thumbnail width in pixels (32–512). ## `thumbHeight` (type: `integer`): Thumbnail height in pixels (32–512). ## `country` (type: `string`): Two-letter country code for the proxy (e.g. US, DE, FR). ## Actor input object example ```json { "url": "https://example.com", "viewportWidth": 1920, "viewportHeight": 1080, "fullPage": true, "acceptLanguage": "en-US,en;q=0.9", "animatedThumbnail": false, "thumbWidth": 256, "thumbHeight": 256, "country": "DE" } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "url": "https://example.com" }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("data_alchemist/ads-free-screenshotter").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
