## 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

## llms.txt Generator — Make Any Website AI-Readable (llms.txt + llms-full.txt)

Generate **`llms.txt`** and **`llms-full.txt`** for any website — the emerging standard that tells AI models (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini) what your site is about and how to reference it. Think **robots.txt, but for LLMs**.

Point this Actor at a URL. It crawls the site, extracts titles, descriptions, and clean main content, and produces two downloadable files ready to drop at your domain root.

### Why llms.txt matters in 2026

- **RAG is the default architecture** for AI apps — `llms.txt` files are pre-structured, information-dense input made for retrieval pipelines.
- **Google added `llms.txt` to Chrome Lighthouse's "Agentic Browsing" audit** (May 2026) as an AI-readiness check.
- AI search visibility (GEO/AEO) increasingly depends on giving models a clean, structured map of your content.

### What this Actor does

- Crawls a website (same-domain links, up to your `maxPages` limit).
- Extracts `title`, meta `description`, and clean main content (`<article>`/`<main>` aware, strips nav/footer/scripts).
- Builds **`llms.txt`** — a concise, linked index of your pages.
- Builds **`llms-full.txt`** — the full text of every page for complete LLM/RAG ingestion.
- Pushes a per-page dataset (URL, title, description) you can export as JSON/CSV.

### Built for developers & scale (not just one page)

Unlike one-off web UI tools, this Actor is **API-callable, batch-friendly, and pipeline-ready**:
- Generate `llms.txt` for **hundreds of client sites** programmatically.
- Wire it into a **content/RAG pipeline** (n8n, cron, CI) via the Apify API.
- Pay only for pages processed.

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `websiteUrl` | string | — | Site to crawl (required). |
| `maxPages` | integer | 50 | Max pages processed (controls cost/runtime). |
| `includeFullText` | boolean | true | Also generate `llms-full.txt`. |
| `maxContentCharsPerPage` | integer | 12000 | Truncate very long pages in the full file. |

### Output

- **Key-value store**: `llms.txt` and `llms-full.txt` (download from the run's Storage tab).
- **Dataset**: one record per page (`url`, `title`, `description`, `contentChars`).

### Example

```json
{
  "websiteUrl": "https://example.com",
  "maxPages": 100,
  "includeFullText": true
}
````

Then place the resulting `llms.txt` at `https://example.com/llms.txt` (root, like `robots.txt`).

### Use cases

- **AI SEO / GEO**: make your site discoverable and quotable by AI assistants.
- **RAG ingestion**: turn any docs/marketing site into clean, chunk-ready text.
- **Agencies**: batch-generate `llms.txt` for every client site.
- **AI agents**: give agents a structured, low-noise view of a domain.

***

*Tip: run on your documentation or marketing site first, review `llms.txt`, then publish it at your domain root.*

# Actor input Schema

## `websiteUrl` (type: `string`):

The site to make AI-readable. The crawler starts here and follows same-domain links.

## `maxPages` (type: `integer`):

Upper limit on pages processed. Controls cost and runtime.

## `includeFullText` (type: `boolean`):

Generate the full-content file (all page text) in addition to the concise llms.txt index.

## `maxContentCharsPerPage` (type: `integer`):

Truncate very long pages in llms-full.txt to keep the output manageable.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "websiteUrl": "https://example.com",
  "maxPages": 50,
  "includeFullText": true,
  "maxContentCharsPerPage": 12000
}
```

# 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 = {
    "websiteUrl": "https://docs.apify.com"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("nacred_corner/llms-txt-generator").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) => {
