## 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

## URL List to Markdown Bundle for LLMs

Paste a list of URLs (or a sitemap URL) and get clean Markdown for each page, plus one combined `llms-full.txt` file ready for RAG pipelines and LLM context windows.

### What it does

- Fetches each page directly over HTTP (no browser, so JavaScript-rendered content is not executed).
- Strips scripts, navigation, footers and other boilerplate, then converts headings, lists, links, tables, code blocks and images to Markdown.
- Pushes one dataset item per page.
- Saves all pages concatenated into `llms-full.txt` in the run's key-value store.
- Identifies itself with a clear User-Agent and respects robots.txt by default.

### Input

- `urls`: list of page URLs.
- `sitemapUrl`: optional sitemap (index files supported, two levels deep).
- `maxPages`: 1-1000 (default 50).
- `mainContentOnly`: prefer `<main>`/`<article>` (default true).
- `respectRobotsTxt`: default true.
- `delaySeconds`: pause between requests (default 1).

### Output example

```json
{
  "url": "https://example.com/",
  "finalUrl": "https://example.com/",
  "title": "Example Domain",
  "markdown": "# Example Domain\n\nThis domain is for use in illustrative examples...",
  "wordCount": 28
}
```

### Pricing

$0.005 per result (one dataset item per converted page). Skipped or failed pages are not charged.

### Limits

- Static HTML only; pages that require JavaScript to render content may come back empty.
- Pages over 5 MB, non-HTML content and pages blocked by robots.txt are skipped.
- Up to 1000 pages per run. Only fetch content you are allowed to use, and follow each site's terms.

# 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 = {
    "urls": [
        "https://example.com/"
    ],
    "maxPages": 50,
    "mainContentOnly": true,
    "respectRobotsTxt": true,
    "delaySeconds": 1
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("mellora/url-list-to-markdown-bundle").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);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
    "urls": ["https://example.com/"],
    "maxPages": 50,
    "mainContentOnly": True,
    "respectRobotsTxt": True,
    "delaySeconds": 1,
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("mellora/url-list-to-markdown-bundle").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "urls": [
    "https://example.com/"
  ],
  "maxPages": 50,
  "mainContentOnly": true,
  "respectRobotsTxt": true,
  "delaySeconds": 1
}' |
apify call mellora/url-list-to-markdown-bundle --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,mellora/url-list-to-markdown-bundle"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
