## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## 🕷️ PAOE Web Scraper — Universal Page Extractor

> Extract structured data from any webpage with one API call. Powered by Playwright + Chromium — handles JavaScript-rendered pages, SPAs, and dynamic content.

### ✨ What it does

Give it a URL, get back clean structured JSON:

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `url` | Final URL after redirects |
| `title` | Page title |
| `text` | Main text content (up to 50,000 chars, scripts/styles stripped) |
| `text_length` | Character count |
| `links` | All links with anchor text (deduplicated) |
| `link_count` | Number of links found |
| `meta` | All meta tags (name, property, og:, twitter:) |
| `headings` | All headings (h1-h6) with text |
| `elements` | Interactive elements (buttons, inputs, forms) |

### 🔧 Input

```json
{
  "url": "https://example.com",
  "extractLinks": true,
  "extractText": true,
  "extractMeta": true,
  "maxLinks": 100
}
```

| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `url` | string | (required) | URL to scrape |
| `extractLinks` | boolean | true | Extract all links |
| `extractText` | boolean | true | Extract text content |
| `extractMeta` | boolean | true | Extract meta tags |
| `maxLinks` | integer | 100 | Max links to extract |

### 📦 Output

Returns one dataset item with all extracted data as JSON.

### 🚀 Use cases

- **Content extraction** for RAG/LLM pipelines
- **SEO auditing** — meta tags, headings, link structure
- **Competitor analysis** — scrape and compare page content
- **Lead generation** — extract links and contact info
- **Data for AI agents** — give your agent real web data
- **Web monitoring** — track page changes over time

### 💻 Example

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/paoe~paoe-web-scraper/runs?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url": "https://news.ycombinator.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 '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("paoe/paoe-web-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 = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("paoe/paoe-web-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():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call paoe/paoe-web-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,paoe/paoe-web-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).
