What you get

One row per article: url, finalUrl, title, siteName, publishedAt, lang, excerpt, wordCount, text, markdown.

Output sample

{
  "url": "https://example.com/post",
  "finalUrl": "https://example.com/post",
  "title": "What is web scraping?",
  "siteName": "Example",
  "publishedAt": "2026-01-15T09:00:00Z",
  "lang": "en",
  "excerpt": "A short introduction.",
  "wordCount": 1240,
  "text": "Web scraping is…",
  "markdown": "## What is web scraping?\n\nWeb scraping is…"
}

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
`urls`	array	—	Article pages to extract.
`includeMarkdown`	boolean	`true`	Also return the article as Markdown.
`minWords`	integer	`50`	Pages with less extracted text than this produce no row.

Good to know

Pages are fetched without a browser, so content rendered only by JavaScript may come back short. Such pages, and pages under minWords, produce no row and no result fee.
Author names are deliberately not returned.
This Actor does not bypass paywalls, logins or CAPTCHAs.

Pricing

Pay per result — $3.00 per 1,000 results (one extracted article = one result), plus Apify's standard per-run start event ($0.00005 per GB of memory, so a fraction of a cent per run). No subscription.
