## 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`).

# Actor input Schema

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

Domains or website URLs, one per line, e.g. github.com or https://www.make.com/en (the domain is used). AhrefsTop page URLs also work: https://ahrefs.com/websites/github.com, or a list such as https://ahrefstop.com/websites/united-states/finance. AhrefsTop covers registrable domains only (docs.github.com is not in its index).

## `includeTopWebsites` (type: `boolean`):

Also scrape the AhrefsTop ranking of the most visited websites (by organic search traffic) for the country and category below.

## `topWebsitesCountry` (type: `string`):

worldwide, or a country name, AhrefsTop slug or two-letter code, e.g. United States, united-states or us. Several, comma-separated: us, gb, de. Checked against AhrefsTop's own country list on every run.

## `topWebsitesCategory` (type: `string`):

all, or a category name or slug, e.g. Finance, computers-and-electronics, Shopping. Several, comma-separated. Checked against AhrefsTop's own category list on every run.

## `topWebsitesMode` (type: `string`):

ranking = websites ordered by Ahrefs rank; trending = the 10 biggest risers and 10 biggest fallers of the month; both = both.

## `topWebsitesLimit` (type: `integer`):

Ranking rows per country/category list. The worldwide all-categories list follows AhrefsTop's next-page link up to rank 1,000 (10 pages of 100); every country or category list has one page of 100.

## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Open the AhrefsTop page of every top-website row and add its Domain Rating, exact traffic and value, history, countries, keywords and competitors (one more request per row).

## `includeTraffic` (type: `boolean`):

Organic search traffic, traffic value (USD) and organic keyword count. Output switch only: AhrefsTop sends every section on one page.

## `includeHistory` (type: `boolean`):

Monthly organic traffic + traffic value history since 2015 and monthly linking-websites history (exact numbers).

## `includeCountries` (type: `boolean`):

The 5 countries that send the most organic traffic, with exact visits, last month's visits and share.

## `includeKeywords` (type: `boolean`):

The domain's top 5 organic keywords (volume, traffic, position and their changes) in the country AhrefsTop shows them for.

## `includeCompetitors` (type: `boolean`):

Top 5 organic competitors (traffic, pages) and the 5 similarly ranked websites.

## `includeBacklinks` (type: `boolean`):

Ahrefs Domain Rating (DR) and linking websites (referring domains) with the month-over-month change.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many rows in total (domains + top-website rows).

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

Residential proxy is the default. AhrefsTop answered direct requests without a challenge in our tests; any country works.

# 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": [
        "github.com",
        "make.com"
    ],
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true,
        "apifyProxyGroups": [
            "RESIDENTIAL"
        ]
    }
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("neuro-scraper/ahrefs-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);
});

## 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": [
        "github.com",
        "make.com",
    ],
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": True,
        "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
    },
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("neuro-scraper/ahrefs-scraper").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():

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "urls": [
    "github.com",
    "make.com"
  ],
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ]
  }
}' |
apify call neuro-scraper/ahrefs-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,neuro-scraper/ahrefs-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 <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
