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 ## Website URL to Metadata > **Looking for AI-powered metadata extraction?** Check out our pay-per-use actor with AI summary capabilities: [URL Summary Scraper with AI](https://apify.com/njoylab/ai-enhanced-website-metadata) This project is a web scraping tool designed to extract metadata from websites. The scraper can fetch metadata such as titles, descriptions, social media links, and more from a webpage. ### Features - Fetches metadata from a given URL. - Supports custom user-agent strings. - Respects `robots.txt` rules unless explicitly ignored. - Extracts social media links and contact information. - Extracts external links. ### Usage 1. **Prepare the input:** It should include at least the `url` field. ```json { "url": "https://example.com", "language": "en-US", "ignoreRobots": false, "ignoreExternalLinks": false, "ignoreInteralLinks": false } ``` 2. **Output:** ```json { "title": "Example Domain", "description": "This domain is for use in illustrative examples in documents.", "keywords": "example, domain, illustrative, examples, documents", "image": "https://example.com/image.png", "facebook": "https://facebook.com/example", "x": "https://twitter.com/example", "linkedin": "https://linkedin.com/company/example", "instagram": "https://instagram.com/example", "youtube": "https://youtube.com/example", "trustpilot": "https://trustpilot.com/review/example.com", "canonical": "https://example.com", "url_fetched": "https://example.com", "url": "https://example.com", "mail": "contact@example.com", "robotsAllow": true, "linksExternal": ["https://example.com/external1", "https://example.com/external2"], "linksInternal": ["https://example.com/about", "https://example.com/contacts"] } ``` ### Configuration - **User-Agent:** The scraper uses a random user-agent string for each request to mimic a real browser. - **Language:** You can specify the `Accept-Language` header in the input payload. - **Robots.txt:** By default, the scraper respects `robots.txt` rules. Set `ignoreRobots` to `true` in the input payload to bypass this. - **External Links:** By default, the scraper extracts external links. Set `ignoreExternalLinks` to `true` in the input payload to bypass this. - **Internal Links:** By default, the scraper extracts internal links. Set `ignoreInternalLinks` to `true` in the input payload to bypass this. # Actor input Schema ## `url` (type: `string`): The URL of website you want to get the data from. ## `language` (type: `string`): Accept-Language header value ## `ignoreRobots` (type: `boolean`): Ignore the robots.txt file and scrape the page anyway ## `ignoreExternalLinks` (type: `boolean`): Don't return external links ## `ignoreInteralLinks` (type: `boolean`): Don't return internal links ## Actor input object example ```json { "url": "https://www.apify.com", "language": "en, en-US;q=0.9, en-GB;q=0.8", "ignoreRobots": false, "ignoreExternalLinks": false, "ignoreInteralLinks": false } ``` # 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 = { "url": "https://www.apify.com", "language": "en, en-US;q=0.9, en-GB;q=0.8" }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("njoylab/url-summary-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 '{ "url": "https://www.apify.com", "language": "en, en-US;q=0.9, en-GB;q=0.8" }' | apify call njoylab/url-summary-scraper --silent --output-dataset ``` ## MCP server setup ```json { "mcpServers": { "apify": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,njoylab/url-summary-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/IragtmKgCBFxUjCf2/builds/pCO4hujcS70C7SLGm/openapi.json
