## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. 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.

ZeroHedge News Scraper pulls posts straight from [ZeroHedge](https://www.zerohedge.com), the financial and geopolitical commentary site, and returns them as clean, structured records. Run it on demand or on an Apify schedule to build a market-news feed, track specific categories, or keep a research archive current.

### 🎯 What this Actor does

Traders and analysts use it to watch market and geopolitical commentary without refreshing a browser tab all day. News pipeline developers use it as a reliable structured source instead of parsing raw HTML themselves. Researchers use it to build a searchable archive of ZeroHedge's coverage on a topic or category over time. Every field is genuine: if a value isn't published, it's left out rather than filled with a placeholder.

### ❓ FAQ

#### Does this include the full article, or just a headline and summary?

The full article. Every result carries the complete text, plus title, author, category, and publish date.

#### Can I use this to track only specific topics?

Yes. Filter by category, add a keyword, or combine both to narrow results to what you care about.

#### Can I run this on a schedule and only get new articles?

Yes. Turn on incremental monitor mode and set up an Apify schedule. Each run only returns articles that are new or changed since the last one.

#### Do I need my own ZeroHedge account or API key?

No. This Actor works without any login or API key.

# Actor input Schema

## `categories` (type: `array`):

Only include articles from these categories. Leave empty for all categories.

## `keyword` (type: `string`):

Only include articles whose title or body contains this text (case-insensitive).

## `publishedAfter` (type: `string`):

Only include articles published after this date. Leave empty for no limit.

## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Fetch each article's page for extra fields (premium flag, author photo, summary, embedded video ID). Slower and makes one extra request per article - off by default since the feed already includes the full article body.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of articles to return. The feed carries roughly the 25 latest articles sitewide.

## `onlyNewOrChanged` (type: `boolean`):

Only push articles that are new or have changed since the last run with the same state name. Useful for scheduled runs that should only report fresh news.

## `stateName` (type: `string`):

Name for this run's incremental state, used only when 'Incremental monitor mode' is on. Use different names to track separate watchlists independently.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Datacenter proxy (the default) is enough - ZeroHedge has no bot wall on its RSS feed or article pages.

  "categories": [],

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
