## Pricing

from $6.50 / 1,000 endpoint testeds

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

## 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.

## API Rate Limit Docs Extractor

### Store Positioning

**Store title:** API Rate Limit Docs Extractor

**Short description:** Extract and normalize public API rate-limit documentation into structured rows covering quota windows, request limits, headers, retry behavior, burst limits, endpoint-specific limits, plan tiers, and evidence text.

**SEO title:** API Rate Limit Docs Extractor — API, schema, and developer QA

**SEO description:** Extract and normalize public API rate-limit documentation into structured rows covering quota windows, request limits, headers, retry behavior, burst limits, endpoint-specific limits, plan tiers, and evidence text. Use it to catch contract drift, schema mistakes, unsafe endpoint assumptions, and developer-tool quality issues before release.

### Pay-Per-Event Pricing

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing. Event prices include Apify platform usage; users are not expected to pay a separate platform-usage pass-through charge for the configured pricing model.

- Tier: A1 — API/developer QA
- Primary event: `endpoint-tested` at $0.00650 base
- Default max charge: $10.00
- Store discounts: FREE/BRONZE base, SILVER discounted, GOLD deepest approved discount

Event set:

- `actor-start`: base $0.00500, GOLD $0.00400. API Rate Limit Docs Extractor: charged when actor start is completed. The price includes Apify platform usage; no separate usage pass-through is intended.
- `endpoint-tested`: base $0.00650, GOLD $0.00520. API Rate Limit Docs Extractor: charged when endpoint tested is completed. The price includes Apify platform usage; no separate usage pass-through is intended.
- `contract-rule-checked`: base $0.00390, GOLD $0.00312. API Rate Limit Docs Extractor: charged when contract rule checked is completed. The price includes Apify platform usage; no separate usage pass-through is intended.
- `report-generated`: base $0.05000, GOLD $0.04000. API Rate Limit Docs Extractor: charged when report generated is completed. The price includes Apify platform usage; no separate usage pass-through is intended.

### Public Task Concepts

- Audit API Rate Limit Docs controls on a capped public sample
- Find high-priority API Rate Limit Docs issues before release
- Validate API Rate Limit Docs evidence from supplied pages
- Prioritize API Rate Limit Docs fixes with severity and proof
- Export API Rate Limit Docs QA rows for client review

Extract and normalize public API rate-limit documentation into structured rows covering quota windows, request limits, headers, retry behavior, burst limits, endpoint-specific limits, plan tiers, and evidence text. The actor emits bounded structured rows and buyer-ready reports from supplied or fetched public documentation.

### Inputs

- `startUrls`
- `htmlInputs`
- `markdownInputs`
- `rawTextInputs`
- `allowedDomains`
- `maxPages`
- `maxDepth`
- `rateLimitKeywords`
- `includeEndpointSpecificLimits`
- `includePlanTierLimits`
- `includeHeaderExtraction`
- `includeEvidence`
- `timeoutMs`

### Public source provenance

OpenWeather published limits: https://old.openweathermap.org/full-price; GitHub REST rate-limit documentation: https://docs.github.com/en/rest/using-the-rest-api/rate-limits-for-the-rest-api?apiVersion=2022-11-28. Inline text is a normalized statement of those public limits so exact runs remain small and parser-focused.

### Billing safety

The actor charges `actor-start` before analysis, charges the primary PPE event before each dataset row, and charges the report event before writing report artifacts. `maxChargeUsd` stops work or output gracefully before the configured cap is exceeded.

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Public pages to fetch and analyze. Keep first runs small and use allowed domains to constrain crawling.

## `htmlInputs` (type: `array`):

Optional supplied HTML pages to analyze without fetching live URLs. Use this for bounded saved-page analysis, saved pages, or controlled QA.

## `markdownInputs` (type: `array`):

Optional supplied Markdown documents to analyze without fetching URLs.

## `rawTextInputs` (type: `array`):

Optional supplied text snippets to analyze without fetching URLs.

## `allowedDomains` (type: `array`):

Optional domain allowlist that keeps fetched URLs constrained to approved hosts.

## `maxPages` (type: `number`):

Maximum pages to process in one run; keep defaults low for safe first runs.

## `maxDepth` (type: `number`):

Maximum depth to process in one run; keep defaults low for safe first runs.

## `rateLimitKeywords` (type: `array`):

Keywords used to identify relevant API Rate Limit Docs Extractor sections in supplied pages and documents.

## `includeEndpointSpecificLimits` (type: `boolean`):

Include endpoint specific limits in output rows or reports when available.

## `includePlanTierLimits` (type: `boolean`):

Include plan tier limits in output rows or reports when available.

## `includeHeaderExtraction` (type: `boolean`):

Include header extraction in output rows or reports when available.

## `includeEvidence` (type: `boolean`):

Include evidence in output rows or reports when available.

## `timeoutMs` (type: `number`):

Maximum time in milliseconds allowed for the API Rate Limit Docs Extractor operation before it is treated as timed out.

## `maxChargeUsd` (type: `number`):

Maximum estimated PPE charge allowed for the run before the actor stops gracefully.

# 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 '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("junipr/api-rate-limit-docs-extractor").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);
});

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call junipr/api-rate-limit-docs-extractor --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,junipr/api-rate-limit-docs-extractor"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
