Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## RSS Feed Scraper & Monitor — Any RSS/Atom Feed to JSON, CSV, Excel Transforme **n'importe quel flux RSS 2.0 ou Atom** en dataset propre et structuré, prêt à exporter en JSON, CSV ou Excel — avec filtrage par mots-clés et déduplication automatique entre plusieurs flux. Idéal pour : veille concurrentielle, monitoring de contenu, agrégation multi-sources, alimentation de workflows Make / Zapier / n8n. **Exemple de résultat :** ```json { "title": "New AI chip announced by major manufacturer", "link": "https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-12345678", "publishedAt": "2026-07-09T08:15:00.000Z", "author": "Jane Smith", "description": "The new chip promises twice the performance...", "imageUrl": "https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/1024/branded_news/1234/production/_image.jpg", "feedUrl": "https://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/technology/rss.xml", "feedTitle": "BBC News - Technology", "scrapedAt": "2026-07-09T10:30:00.000Z" } ```` ### Comment l'utiliser 1. Collez une ou plusieurs URLs de flux RSS/Atom dans **URLs de flux** 2. (Optionnel) Ajoutez des **mots-clés** pour ne garder que les articles pertinents 3. Cliquez sur **Start** — les résultats apparaissent dans l'onglet *Dataset* Astuce : planifiez un run quotidien (onglet *Schedule*) pour une veille automatique. ### Combien ça coûte ? Tarification à l'usage, sans abonnement : | Événement | Prix | |---|---| | Démarrage du run | 0,005 $ | | Par article extrait | 0,0002 $ | **Exemple concret : 1 000 articles ≈ 0,21 $.** Vous pouvez fixer une limite de dépense par run dans les options — l'Actor s'arrête proprement dès qu'elle est atteinte. ### Champs retournés | Champ | Type | Toujours présent ? | |---|---|---| | `title` | texte | Oui | | `link` | lien | Oui | | `publishedAt` | date ISO | Non (`null` si absent du flux) | | `author` | texte | Non (`null` si absent du flux) | | `description` | texte | Non (`null` si absent du flux) | | `imageUrl` | lien | Non (`null` si absent du flux) | | `feedUrl` | lien | Oui | | `feedTitle` | texte | Non (`null` si absent du flux) | | `scrapedAt` | date ISO | Oui | ### Limitations (en toute transparence) - Ne parse que les formats standards RSS 2.0 et Atom (couvre la quasi-totalité des flux existants) - Ne récupère pas le contenu complet des articles derrière les liens — uniquement ce que le flux expose - Ne contourne pas les flux nécessitant une authentification ### FAQ **Le run se termine avec 0 résultat, pourquoi ?** Vérifiez que l'URL est bien celle d'un flux RSS/Atom (elle se termine souvent par `/feed`, `/rss` ou `.xml`) et que vos mots-clés ne filtrent pas tous les articles. L'Actor échoue volontairement plutôt que de retourner un dataset vide. **Puis-je surveiller plusieurs flux en un seul run ?** Oui, ajoutez autant d'URLs que vous voulez. Les doublons entre flux sont automatiquement supprimés (par lien). **Puis-je l'utiliser via API ?** Oui, chaque Actor Apify est appelable par API et via MCP. Voir l'onglet *API* de cette page. **Les données sont-elles à jour ?** Chaque run extrait le contenu du flux en temps réel au moment de l'exécution. **Est-ce légal ?** Les flux RSS sont publiés par les sites précisément pour être consommés par des outils. L'Actor n'extrait que des données publiquement accessibles. Vous restez responsable de l'usage que vous faites des données. # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Un ou plusieurs flux RSS 2.0 ou Atom à parser. Exemple : le flux d'un blog, d'un média, d'un concurrent. ## `keywords` (type: `array`): Si renseigné, seuls les articles dont le titre ou la description contient au moins un de ces mots-clés sont retournés (insensible à la casse). Laissez vide pour tout retourner. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): L'Actor s'arrête (et arrête de facturer) une fois ce nombre atteint. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Configuration proxy. Le proxy Apify par défaut convient dans la plupart des cas. ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrls": [ "https://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/technology/rss.xml" ], "keywords": [], "maxResults": 100, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ``` # 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 = { "startUrls": [ "https://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/technology/rss.xml" ], "keywords": [], "maxResults": 100, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("q_services/rss-feed-monitor").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 📖?
