## 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.

# README

## WordPress Sites List — Websites Using WordPress

Get a bulk list of website URLs running WordPress. Returns clean, deduplicated site addresses — a few hundred or well over a million in a single run, with no per-site limits.

***

### WordPress Sites List Features

- Returns site URLs in one field. No parsing, no cleanup, no nested objects to flatten.
- Delivers a million rows in a single run — the count is the only dial, and it goes as high as you need.
- Deduplicated at the source, so you never pay twice for the same site.
- Canonical addresses only — scheme plus host, no tracking parameters, no deep links into a single page.
- Runs the same whether you ask for 500 or 500,000. Speed does not degrade with volume.
- Takes one input: how many you want. You supply a number; you get URLs.

***

### Who Uses a List of Websites Using WordPress?

- **Agencies and freelancers** — build a prospect list of sites on a platform you already know how to service.
- **Plugin and theme vendors** — size your addressable market with real numbers instead of the 43%-of-the-web stat everyone quotes at each other.
- **Security researchers** — assemble a population for vulnerability surveys, disclosure programs, or CMS-specific scanning at scale.
- **Market researchers** — measure CMS share across TLDs, sectors, or regions from an actual sample rather than a survey.
- **Lead-generation teams** — feed the URLs into your own enrichment stack to attach contacts, tech stacks, or firmographics.
- **Data engineers** — seed a crawl, a training set, or a benchmark with a large, uniform population of live sites.

***

### How WordPress Sites List Works

1. Set how many URLs you want.
2. Run it. Results arrive as a flat dataset with one field per row.
3. Export as JSON, CSV, or Excel, or pull them straight from the API.

There is no step four. You are not asked to supply domains, seed a crawl, or wait for pages to be visited one at a time.

***

### Input

```json
{
    "maxItems": 1000
}
```

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `maxItems` | integer | `1000` | How many WordPress site URLs to return. Minimum 1. |

Want a large pull? Set `maxItems` to a million. The run behaves identically, it just returns more.

```json
{
    "maxItems": 1000000
}
```

***

### WordPress Sites List Output Fields

```json
{
    "url": "https://smittenkitchen.com"
}
```

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `url` | string | Canonical site URL — scheme and host, no path. |

One field, on purpose. The ask was website links, so that is what the row is. If you need contact details or technology breakdowns attached to these URLs, that is a different tool and we are happy to point you at one.

### 🔍 FAQ

#### How do I get a list of websites using WordPress?

WordPress Sites List returns them directly. Set `maxItems` to the number you want and run it — there is no input list to prepare and no domains to supply.

#### How much does WordPress Sites List cost to run?

$0.50 per 1,000 URLs, plus a $0.10 start fee. A million rows is $500 at list price, less on higher Apify subscription tiers.

#### Can I get contact details or emails with these URLs?

No. WordPress Sites List returns the site URL and nothing else. It pairs well with a contact-extraction actor if you want to enrich the list afterwards, which is the usual workflow.

#### How accurate is the WordPress detection?

Sites are matched on multiple independent WordPress signals, and a site is only included when the evidence belongs to that site rather than to something it merely links to. The common shortcut — searching a page for the string `wp-content` — misclassifies roughly one site in twenty, because plenty of non-WordPress pages hotlink images from WordPress ones.

#### What format is the output?

WordPress Sites List writes a flat dataset with one field per row, so it exports cleanly to JSON, CSV, or Excel, or comes straight off the Apify API. A million-row export is a single file, not a thousand paged requests.

#### Can I filter by TLD or country?

Not yet. The current output is the URL list. If you need filtering, say so and it moves up the queue.

### Why Use WordPress Sites List?

- **It answers the reverse question** — every other technology tool takes a domain and tells you its stack. This one takes a technology and gives you the domains.
- **Built for volume** — a million rows is a normal run here, not an edge case you have to page through a thousand requests at a time.
- **Clean by construction** — one canonical URL per row, deduplicated, with the false positives that plague substring matching already removed.

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,jungle_synthesizer/wordpress-sites-list-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
