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 ## URL to Console Logs Capture browser console messages, JavaScript page errors, and failed network requests from any web page URL. This Actor opens each URL in a temporary Playwright browser, waits for the page to load, and stores structured diagnostics in the default dataset. ### What It Captures - Console messages such as `log`, `info`, `warning`, `error`, and `debug` - JavaScript page errors emitted by the browser - Failed network requests, when enabled - Source location details when the browser provides them - The original URL, final URL after redirects, event type, level, message text, and timestamp ### Input Provide one or more URLs in `startUrls`. You can also control how long the browser waits, which page load state is used, whether console messages are included, whether network errors are included, and whether proxy settings should be used. Example input: ```json { "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://apify.com" }], "maxItems": 100, "waitUntil": "load", "waitForMillis": 3000, "includeNetworkErrors": true, "includeConsoleMessages": true, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ```` ### Output Each captured event is saved as one dataset item: ```json { "url": "https://example.com", "finalUrl": "https://www.example.com/", "type": "console", "level": "error", "text": "Example console error", "message": null, "location": { "url": "https://www.example.com/app.js", "line": 10, "column": 15 }, "timestamp": "2026-06-09T18:00:00.000Z" } ``` ### Use Cases - Audit pages for JavaScript errors - Collect browser console output during QA checks - Detect broken assets and failed client-side requests - Compare diagnostics across batches of URLs ### Notes `maxItems` limits saved records per input URL. Increase `waitForMillis` for pages that emit delayed client-side errors after initial load. # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Web page URLs to open in a temporary browser and inspect for console logs and errors. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of log or error records to save for each start URL. ## `waitUntil` (type: `string`): Navigation lifecycle event to wait for before the extra wait time starts. ## `waitForMillis` (type: `integer`): Additional time to wait after navigation so delayed console messages and errors can be captured. ## `includeNetworkErrors` (type: `boolean`): Capture failed page requests as dataset records. ## `includeConsoleMessages` (type: `boolean`): Capture browser console messages such as log, warning, error, and debug. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings for browser navigation. Enable Apify Proxy if target pages are geo-restricted or rate-limited. ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://apify.com" } ], "maxItems": 100, "waitUntil": "load", "waitForMillis": 3000, "includeNetworkErrors": true, "includeConsoleMessages": true, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `overview` (type: `string`): No description # 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": [ { "url": "https://apify.com" } ], "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("rainminer/url-console-logs-inspector").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 📖?
