## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Website Image & Media Crawler — Bulk Image & Asset Scraper 🖼️

**Extract every image, video and audio file from a website.** This **image scraper / media extractor** crawls an entire site and pulls out all media assets — together with **alt text, dimensions, the source page** and **file type**. Point it at one URL and it inventories the media across thousands of pages automatically. **No login, no headless browser.**

> Need to **scrape all images from a website**, build an **image dataset for AI**, run an **image SEO / alt-text audit**, or inventory media before a migration? This actor delivers the full list of asset URLs and metadata.

---

### ✨ Key features

- 🕷️ **Full-site crawl** — start from one URL and follow internal links across the whole domain.
- 🖼️ **Every media type** — `<img>`, `srcset`, `<picture>`, lazy-loaded `data-src`, CSS background images, `<video>` + posters, `<audio>`, plus `og:image`, `twitter:image` and favicons.
- 🔗 **Absolute, de-duplicated URLs** — clean asset URLs ready to download or analyze.
- 🏷️ **Rich metadata** — alt text, title, width/height, loading attribute and where each asset was found.
- ⚡ **Fast & cheap** — pure HTTP, no browser, high concurrency.

### 💡 Use cases

- **AI / ML training datasets** — collect large image sets with their alt-text captions for multimodal models.
- **Image SEO audits** — find images missing `alt` text at scale and improve accessibility & rankings.
- **Asset inventories & migrations** — list every media file on a site before a redesign or platform move.
- **E-commerce & competitor research** — pull product imagery across a whole catalog.
- **Bulk image download lists** — generate a clean URL list to fetch images in bulk.

### 📦 What you get

One row per media asset:

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `pageUrl` | The page the asset was found on |
| `mediaUrl` | Absolute URL of the asset |
| `mediaType` | `image`, `video`, `audio` or `icon` |
| `foundIn` | Source (`img`, `img-srcset`, `picture-source`, `meta`, `css-background`, `video`, …) |
| `fileExtension` | `jpg`, `png`, `webp`, `mp4`, `svg`, … |
| `alt` / `title` | Image alt and title text |
| `width` / `height` | Declared dimensions |
| `loading` | `lazy` / `eager` |
| `poster` | Video poster image |
| `crawledAt` | ISO 8601 timestamp |

#### Example output

```json
{
  "pageUrl": "https://shop.example.com/product/123",
  "mediaUrl": "https://shop.example.com/img/123-main.jpg",
  "mediaType": "image",
  "foundIn": "img",
  "fileExtension": "jpg",
  "alt": "Blue running shoe, side view",
  "width": "800",
  "height": "800",
  "crawledAt": "2026-05-25T14:15:28.001Z"
}
````

### 🚀 How to use it

1. Click **Try for free / Start**.
2. Paste one or more website URLs into **Start URLs**.
3. (Optional) Set **Max pages to crawl** — `0` for the whole site.
4. (Optional) Toggle which media to include: images, video, audio, CSS backgrounds.
5. Click **Save & Start**.
6. Export the asset list as **JSON, CSV, Excel or via API**.

### ⚙️ Input

| Option | Description | Default |
|--------|-------------|---------|
| `startUrls` | Websites to crawl | – (required) |
| `maxPagesToCrawl` | Max pages per run (`0` = whole site) | `1000` |
| `includeImages` | `<img>`, srcset, `<picture>`, og:image, favicons | `true` |
| `includeVideo` | `<video>` sources and posters | `true` |
| `includeAudio` | `<audio>` sources | `true` |
| `includeBackgroundImages` | CSS inline background images | `true` |
| `maxConcurrency` | Parallel requests | `10` |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://example.com" }],
  "maxPagesToCrawl": 2000,
  "includeImages": true
}
```

### 🔍 How it works

The crawler follows internal links within the same domain as your Start URLs. On each page it extracts media from `<img>` (including `srcset` and `data-src`), `<picture>`, inline CSS backgrounds, `<video>`/`<audio>` and their `<source>` children, plus `og:image`, `twitter:image` and favicons. All URLs are resolved to absolute and de-duplicated per page. Pure HTTP — fast and inexpensive.

### 🧰 Tips & best practices

- Set `maxPagesToCrawl` to `0` to inventory an entire catalog or media library.
- Filter by `mediaType` or `fileExtension` after the run to get exactly the assets you need.
- Use `imagesMissingAlt`-style filtering: rows where `alt` is empty are your image-SEO fixes.
- To download the files, feed the `mediaUrl` list into a bulk downloader.

### ❓ FAQ

**Does it download the image files?** No — it extracts asset **URLs and metadata**. You can download them from the `mediaUrl` list afterwards with any bulk downloader.

**Does it capture lazy-loaded images?** Yes — it reads `data-src`, `srcset` and `<picture>` sources in addition to plain `src`.

**Does it render JavaScript?** No — it parses server-rendered HTML for speed and low cost.

**How do I crawl the whole site?** Set `maxPagesToCrawl` to `0`.

**What formats can I export?** JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML and a full REST API.
