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 ## 🌐 Google Search SERP Crawler **One Actor, unlimited keywords.** Scrape Google Search results fast and reliable. Provide a list of keywords, and the Actor returns organic search results – including title, URL, snippet, date, and position – for each keyword. Ideal for SEO monitoring, keyword research, and content analysis. ### ✨ Features - **Batch keyword processing** – Send up to 100 keywords in a single run; the Actor processes them all in one API call. - **Full search parameters** – Each result includes the exact `searchParameters` returned by (`q`, `gl`, `hl`, `tbs`, etc.). - **Customisable** – Set country (`gl`), language (`hl`), time filter (`tbs`), and limit how many results per keyword. - **Pay‑per‑use** – You are charged only for the keywords you actually search. No hidden costs. - **Structured output** – Results are stored as a clean dataset, ready for download or further processing. ### πŸ“₯ Input The Actor accepts a JSON input with the following fields: | Field | Type | Required | Default | Description | |-------|------|----------|---------|-------------| | `keywords` | string | βœ… | – | One or more search keywords, **one per line**. | | `gl` | string | ❌ | `"hk"` | Country code for search results (e.g., `us`, `gb`, `de`). | | `hl` | string | ❌ | `"zh-tw"` | Language code (e.g., `en`, `fr`, `ja`). | | `maxPagesPerKeyword` | integer | ❌ | `1` | Number of **pages** of results per keyword (each page = 10 results). | #### Example input ```json { "keywords": "apple inc\ntesla inc\nopenai", "gl": "us", "hl": "en", "maxPagesPerKeyword": 2 } ```` ### πŸ“€ Output The Actor stores **one dataset item per keyword**. Each item contains: ```json { "query": "apple inc", "searchParameters": { "q": "apple inc", "gl": "us", "hl": "en", "type": "search", "page": 1, "engine": "google" }, "organic_results": [ { "title": "Apple Inc. (AAPL) Stock Price", "link": "https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AAPL/", "snippet": "Find the latest Apple Inc. (AAPL) stock quote...", "date": "2 days ago", "position": 1 }, … ] } ``` You can view the results in the **Output** tab of your run, or download them in JSON, CSV, Excel, and other formats. ### πŸ’° Pricing This Actor uses the **pay‑per‑event** billing model.\ You are charged a fixed price **for each keyword you search**.\ The price is defined in the Actor’s settings (default: 0.01 USD per keyword).\ There are no additional costs for data transfer or storage. #### Using the API You can also call the Actor programmatically: ```bash curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/YOUR_ACTOR_ID/runs" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "keywords": "apple inc\ntesla inc", "gl": "us", "hl": "en" }' ``` ### πŸ“Š Example use cases - **SEO monitoring** – Track your website’s ranking for a list of keywords. - **Competitor analysis** – See which domains appear for your target keywords. - **Content research** – Gather snippets and dates to understand what content is performing. - **Market intelligence** – Monitor news and trends across different regions and languages. ### 🀝 Support If you encounter any issues or have questions, please open an issue. # Actor input Schema ## `keywords` (type: `string`): Enter one search query per line. Each query will be searched separately. ## `gl` (type: `string`): Country code in lower case for search results (e.g., us, jp). ## `hl` (type: `string`): Language code for search results. If the result is not working, try with lower case (e.g. pt-br). ## `maxPagesPerKeyword` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of search result pages to extract per keyword. ## Actor input object example ```json { "keywords": "tesla inc\ngoogle inc", "gl": "us", "hl": "en", "maxPagesPerKeyword": 1 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): The dataset containing search result items. # 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 = { "keywords": `tesla inc google inc`, "gl": "us", "hl": "en" }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("radiant_martian/google-search-serp-crawler").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`πŸ’Ύ 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); }); // πŸ“š Want to learn more πŸ“–?
