article-extracted: $0.002 per article with readable text ($2 per 1,000 articles).- Failed, paywalled and empty pages are not charged.
- Set a max cost per run in the run options and the run stops cleanly when it hits it.
- Normal Apify platform usage applies.
Limits and honest notes
- Pages are fetched without a browser. Hard paywalls and JavaScript-only sites return an
errorrow and are not charged. - Text is extracted heuristically; very unusual layouts may include a stray caption or miss a sidebar quote.
- Dates and authors are as the publisher declares them.
- No other Apify actor is called: everything is collected in-house over plain HTTP.
Run it from code
Same input as the Console sample:
It also works from Zapier, Make, n8n and Apify schedules.
