## Pricing

from $4.95 / 1,000 completed visits

This Actor is paid per event and usage. You are charged both the fixed price for specific events and for Apify platform usage.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

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 examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

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`).

# README

## Organic Visit Simulator 𝕏

Simulates steady, organic web traffic triggered by viral posts on X (Twitter), mimicking natural engagement patterns recognized by search engines. Designed to follow up the [Web Traffic Spike Simulator X](https://apify.com/m3web/web-traffic-spike-simulator-x), this Actor helps extend visibility with realistic post-spike activity.

***

### Why Use This Actor?

After a viral burst, search engines monitor ongoing engagement to determine relevance and ranking longevity. Organic Visit Simulator X creates believable, human-like visit patterns that:

- Sustain SEO momentum after a traffic spike
- Reinforce credibility and visibility for your content

### Key Features

- 🔁 **Flexible scheduling**: Use with [Organic Visit Scheduler X](https://apify.com/m3web/organic-visit-scheduler-x)  — to automatically schedule daily visits at random times
- 👨🏻‍💻 **Human-Like Visit Behavior to Boost Engagement**: Each visit lasts 30–90 seconds and mimics real user actions: scrolling (mostly downward), hovering, touch simulation, and — when time allows — clicking through to another page on the same site. These behaviors are designed to increase engagement and signal relevance to search engines.
- 🌍 **Geo-targeting support**: Customize visitor origin to match your audience
- 📱 **Device & Browser Diversity by Country**: Every visit simulates a different device type, screen resolution, OS, and browser — based on real-world market share data from [StatCounter](https://gs.statcounter.com/) for each selected country.
- 🎯 **Ideal for Marketing Campaigns** Especially useful for marketers launching new landing pages, product pages, or websites that are invisible to search engines due to lack of traffic.
- 🌍 **Country-Based Simulation with Proxies**: Choose from 30 countries to simulate localized traffic using residential proxies. If your target country isn’t available, use the "Worldwide" option.

***

### 🛠 Input Overview

These input fields are designed for **manual runs** of the Actor — perfect for testing your setup, verifying visit behavior, or triggering one-off simulations. If you prefer to run the Actor manually each day, this section gives you full control over targeting, country selection, and visit logic.

However, for **automated daily scheduling**, we recommend using the companion Actor:\
👉 [**Organic Visit Scheduler X**](https://apify.com/m3web/organic-visit-scheduler-x) — no coding, no cost.\
It uses the same input structure and lets you predefine visit windows, timezone, and total schedules. Once configured, it will automatically trigger Organic Visit Simulator X at randomized times across multiple days — ideal for simulating natural traffic patterns without manual effort.

***

#### 💰 Cost-Saving Option

- **Block images & videos**\
  Enable this to prevent images and video files from loading on the pages the Actor visits. Since this Actor charges you for the actual platform usage it consumes, blocking media can meaningfully reduce your cost per run on media-heavy sites — without changing how the simulated visit behaves (scrolling, mouse movement, and follow-up clicks all work the same either way).

#### 🌍 Basic Fields

- **1.1 Start URLs** – Pages you want to simulate visits to
- **1.2 Country** – Choose `"Worldwide"` or a specific country

#### 🌐 Multi-Country Support (Optional)

Add up to 5 sets of URLs and countries to simulate geo-diverse traffic.\
Example:

- 2.1 Start URLs  +  2.2 Country  →  Germany
- 3.1 Start URLs  +  3.2 Country  →  Japan

#### ⚙️ Advanced Option

- **6. Randomly select only one URL from the same domain**\
  If you include multiple pages from the same site (e.g. `https://example.com/page1`, `https://example.com/page2`, `https://example.com/page3`), the Actor will randomly pick just one. This avoids unnatural behavior like multiple users landing on different pages of the same site **at the same time**.

***

### 📈 Simulate UTM Campaigns from X (Twitter)

You can simulate traffic from a Twitter campaign by adding UTM parameters to your URLs.

Use this free tool: [UTM Generator for Twitter](https://www.simpleanalytics.com/utm-builder/twitter)

#### Example

Original URL:

```
https://yourwebsite.com/product-page
```

UTM version:

```
https://yourwebsite.com/product-page?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=summer_sale
```

Paste the UTM-tagged URL into the Actor’s input. Visits will appear in your analytics as part of the `"summer_sale"` campaign from Twitter.

### 📊 SEO Impact

Search engines reward consistent engagement. By simulating organic visits that follow a viral event, this Actor helps reinforce your content’s authority, relevance, and visibility in search results.

# Actor input Schema

## `interceptMedia` (type: `boolean`):

When enabled, the Actor blocks images and video files from loading on visited pages. This reduces proxy bandwidth usage and can lower platform costs, especially on media-heavy sites. Since this Actor passes platform usage costs through to you, turning this on is an easy way to cut your run cost with no effect on the simulated scrolling, mouse movement, or click-through behavior.

## `startUrl` (type: `array`):

List of URLs to simulate steady, organic web traffic.

## `countryCode` (type: `string`):

Select the country for simulation.

## `startUrl2` (type: `array`):

List of URLs to simulate steady, organic web traffic.

## `countryCode2` (type: `string`):

Select the country for simulation.

## `startUrl3` (type: `array`):

List of URLs to simulate steady, organic web traffic.

## `countryCode3` (type: `string`):

Select the country for simulation.

## `startUrl4` (type: `array`):

List of URLs to simulate steady, organic web traffic.

## `countryCode4` (type: `string`):

Select the country for simulation.

## `startUrl5` (type: `array`):

List of URLs to simulate steady, organic web traffic.

## `countryCode5` (type: `string`):

Select the country for simulation.

## `deduplicateDomains` (type: `boolean`):

If enabled, the Actor will randomly pick one URL per domain.

    {
      "url": "https://apify.com/m3web/organic-visit-simulator-x"
    }
  ],

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,m3web/organic-visit-simulator-x"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
