## 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.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## Website Metadata Extractor Pro

Extract **comprehensive website metadata** from any URL in bulk. Get title, description, Open Graph tags, Twitter Cards, JSON-LD structured data, favicon, canonical URL, robots directives, sitemap links, language, and charset — ideal for SEO audits, link previews, and content pipelines.

**Pricing:** $0.003 per result (dataset item).

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `urls` | `string[]` | Yes | — | URLs to extract metadata from |
| `includeTwitterCards` | `boolean` | No | `true` | Include Twitter Card meta tags |
| `maxRequestsPerMinute` | `integer` | No | `60` | Rate limit for HTTP requests |
| `maxRequestRetries` | `integer` | No | `3` | Retries per failed request |
| `requestHandlerTimeoutSecs` | `integer` | No | `30` | Per-request timeout in seconds |
| `proxyConfiguration` | `object` | No | — | Optional Apify Proxy settings |

### Output (per URL)

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `url` | Input URL (resolved after redirects) |
| `title` | Page title (`og:title` or `<title>`) |
| `description` | Page description (`og:description` or meta description) |
| `openGraph` | Object with all `og:*` meta properties |
| `twitterCards` | Object with all `twitter:*` meta properties |
| `jsonLd` | Array of parsed JSON-LD structured data objects |
| `favicon` | Favicon URL (resolved to absolute) |
| `canonical` | Canonical link URL |
| `robots` | Robots meta tag content |
| `sitemap` | Sitemap link URL from `<link rel="sitemap">` |
| `language` | Page language from `<html lang>` |
| `charset` | Document charset |
| `error` | Error message if extraction failed (`null` on success) |

### How it works

1. Fetches each URL with **Crawlee CheerioCrawler** (retries, rate limiting, optional proxy)
2. Parses HTML with **Cheerio**
3. Extracts Open Graph, Twitter Card, JSON-LD, canonical, favicon, robots, sitemap, language, and charset
4. Resolves relative URLs to absolute against the page URL
5. Pushes one dataset item per URL with graceful per-URL error handling

### Run locally

```bash
npm install
apify run
````

Example input (`storage/key_value_stores/default/INPUT.json`):

```json
{
    "urls": ["https://apify.com", "https://github.com"],
    "includeTwitterCards": true,
    "maxRequestsPerMinute": 60,
    "maxRequestRetries": 3,
    "requestHandlerTimeoutSecs": 30
}
```

See `examples/input.json` and `examples/output-sample.json` for more examples.

### Deploy to Apify

```bash
apify login
apify push
```

Configure pay-per-event pricing with `apify-default-dataset-item` at **$0.003** per result in the Apify Console monetization settings.

# Actor input Schema

## `urls` (type: `array`):

List of URLs to extract website metadata from.

## `includeTwitterCards` (type: `boolean`):

Whether to extract Twitter Card meta tags (twitter:card, twitter:image, etc.).

## `maxRequestsPerMinute` (type: `integer`):

Rate limit for HTTP requests. Lower values reduce load on target servers.

## `maxRequestRetries` (type: `integer`):

Number of times to retry a failed request before marking it as failed.

## `requestHandlerTimeoutSecs` (type: `integer`):

Maximum time in seconds to wait for each URL request.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Optional proxy settings. Use Apify Proxy to reduce blocking on large batches.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "urls": [
    "https://apify.com",
    "https://github.com"
  ],
  "includeTwitterCards": true,
  "maxRequestsPerMinute": 60,
  "maxRequestRetries": 3,
  "requestHandlerTimeoutSecs": 30,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `results` (type: `string`):

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

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "urls": [
        "https://apify.com",
        "https://github.com"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("mighty_monk/website-metadata-extractor-pro").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);
