# Generate an llms.txt file for a docs site

**Use case:** 

Crawls a sample documentation site up to the page limit, respecting robots.txt, and writes an llms.txt file in the format of the llms.txt proposal, ready to place at the site root. Turn on llms-full.txt to add the main text of every page as Markdown. Swap in your own site.

## Input

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://docs.apify.com/"
    }
  ],
  "maxPages": 50,
  "useSitemap": true,
  "includeFullText": false,
  "timeoutSecs": 20
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "startUrl": {
    "label": "Site",
    "format": "link"
  },
  "ok": {
    "label": "OK",
    "format": "boolean"
  },
  "pageCount": {
    "label": "Pages listed",
    "format": "number"
  },
  "sections": {
    "label": "Sections",
    "format": "object"
  },
  "llmsTxtUrl": {
    "label": "llms.txt",
    "format": "link"
  },
  "llmsFullTxtUrl": {
    "label": "llms-full.txt",
    "format": "link"
  },
  "error": {
    "label": "Error",
    "format": "text"
  }
}
```

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [llms.txt Generator: crawl a site, write llms.txt and full text](https://apify.com/examsens.ai/llms-txt-generator.md) with a specific input configuration.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

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 full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/examsens.ai/llms-txt-generator.md

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`).
