## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

### Input Options

The actor supports three input formats. **Please use only one of the following formats per task:**

#### 1️⃣ Content Example

**Input:**

```json
{
  "content": "Artificial Intelligence"
}
```

**Output (truncated):**

```json
[
  {
    "chunk": "Artificial Intelligence",
    "resultCount": 10
  },
  {
    "rank": 1,
    "title": "What is Artificial Intelligence? | IBM",
    "url": "https://www.ibm.com/topics/artificial-intelligence",
    "description": "Artificial intelligence (AI) is technology that enables computers to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.",
    "chunk": "Artificial Intelligence",
    "country": "United States",
    "engine": "Google.com",
    "sourcesFound": 10,
    "success": true,
    "error": null
  }
]
```

#### 2️⃣ Queries Example

**Input:**

```json
{
  "queries": ["what is artificial intelligence?"]
}
```

**Output (truncated):**

```json
[
  {
    "chunk": "what is artificial intelligence?",
    "resultCount": 10
  },
  {
    "rank": 1,
    "title": "What is artificial intelligence? | IBM",
    "url": "https://www.ibm.com/topics/artificial-intelligence",
    "description": "Artificial intelligence (AI) is technology that enables computers to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.",
    "chunk": "what is artificial intelligence?",
    "country": "United States",
    "engine": "Google.com",
    "sourcesFound": 10,
    "success": true,
    "error": null
  }
]
```

#### 3️⃣ Texts Example

**Input:**

```json
{
  "texts": [
    "Artificial Intelligence is the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think and learn."
  ]
}
```

**Output (truncated):**

```json
[
  {
    "chunk": "Artificial Intelligence is the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to t...",
    "resultCount": 10
  },
  {
    "rank": 1,
    "title": "AI Explained - AI Leadership Council",
    "url": "https://aihub.uga.edu/ai-explained/",
    "description": "AI is technology that enables computers and machines to simulate human learning, comprehension, problem solving, decision making, creativity and autonomy.",
    "chunk": "Artificial Intelligence is the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to t...",

    "engine": "Google.com",
    "sourcesFound": 10,
    "success": true,
    "error": null
  }
]
```

**⚠️ Important:** Please use only one input format per task:

- Use `content` for a single piece of content that will be automatically chunked
- Use `queries` for an array of separate search queries
- Use `texts` for an array of longer texts that will be automatically chunked

Using multiple input formats in the same task will result in only one being processed, which may not be the one you intended.

#### Parameters:

- `maxResultsPerChunk`: Maximum results to return per chunk (0 for unlimited, default: 10, maximum: 100)
- `language`: Auto-detect language or select specific language for search results ('auto' for automatic detection)
- `country`: Select country for authentic regional search results ('auto' for auto-selection based on language)

#### Language and Country Selection:

- **Auto Detection**: When language is set to "Auto Detect", the system will automatically detect the language of your content and select an appropriate country for authentic regional results.
- **Manual Selection**: You can manually select both language and country from the dropdowns for specific regional targeting.
- **Smart Combination**: When language is manually selected and country is set to "Auto Select", the system will choose the most relevant country for your selected language.

#### Additional Features:

- **Intelligent Chunking**: Automatically processes content by splitting it into optimal chunks of 1-16 words for best search results
- **Chunk Ranking**: Results are ranked within each chunk for easy identification of most relevant sources
- **Multi-format Support**: Accepts single content, multiple queries, or multiple long texts in a single request
- **Flexible Results**: Control the number of results per chunk with maxResultsPerChunk parameter

### 📊 Output Format

The actor returns results in an organized JSON structure. Each response includes:

- **Chunk Information** – Every unique search chunk from the original text with the number of results found.
- **Ranked Results** – Each chunk returns ranked results (rank: 1, 2, 3…) with title, URL, and description.
- **Filtered Chunks** – Only chunks with 1–16 words are processed (longer ones are automatically filtered out).

### Usage

1. Add your search content using one of the input formats above
2. Set maxResultsPerChunk to control how many results per chunk (default: 10, minimum: 1)
3. Run the actor
4. Collect your organized search results from the dataset

This actor is perfect for when you need reliable, high-quality Google search results without managing the complex infrastructure required for web scraping. It's especially useful for processing long texts that need to be automatically chunked and searched. The intelligent chunking ensures optimal search queries (1-16 words) for the best results, allowing even single-word searches like "grammarly" to work effectively.
