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 ## Similarweb Quick Scraper ![scraper-icon](https://i.imgur.com/rTtX5M0.png) A quick scraper for [similarweb.com](https://www.similarweb.com).

Run each Actor separately and combine its exported data in your own workflow. Each Actor has its own input, output and pricing. # Actor input Schema ## `websites` (type: `array`): Similarweb websites to scrape. Enter domains. ## `token` (type: `string`): Optional token for priority queue. ## Actor input object example ```json { "websites": [ "apple.com", "microsoft.com", "google.com", "twitter.com", "samsung.com", "hp.com", "dell.com", "mi.com", "lg.com", "sony.com" ] } ``` # 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 '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "websites": [ "apple.com", "microsoft.com", "google.com", "twitter.com", "samsung.com", "hp.com", "dell.com", "mi.com", "lg.com", "sony.com" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("mscraper/similarweb-quick-scraper").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); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?

Go to → https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs/quick-start ``` ## CLI example ```bash echo '{ "websites": [ "apple.com", "microsoft.com", "google.com", "twitter.com", "samsung.com", "hp.com", "dell.com", "mi.com", "lg.com", "sony.com" ] }' | apify call mscraper/similarweb-quick-scraper --silent --output-dataset ``` ## MCP server setup ```json { "mcpServers": { "apify": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,mscraper/similarweb-quick-scraper" } } } ``` 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 ` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations). ## OpenAPI specification Download the OpenAPI definition: https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/ctzd4Jx2UCTZZf6rR/builds/03JXsfl8hD9z41OAI/openapi.json
