## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

- Retrieve article headlines and links.
- Extract publication and update dates.
- Collect summaries and author information when available.
- Extract categories and available content or image links.

### What Data Does This Actor Extract?

The actor collects available RSS feed fields, including:

Field availability depends on the information provided by the RSS feed. This actor collects feed listings and does not guarantee full article text.

### Working with Your Dataset

After the actor finishes running, open the Apify dataset to explore the collected news items.

You can:

- Export records as JSON, CSV, or Excel.
- Filter headlines by cryptocurrency, project, or topic.
- Sort articles by publication or update date.
- Review article links, summaries, and author information.
- Track news topics over time.
- Connect the dataset to dashboards, reporting tools, or alerting workflows.

### Use Cases

### FAQ

**Who can use this actor?**

Researchers, analysts, developers, marketers, and cryptocurrency enthusiasts who need structured Cointelegraph news listings.

**What export formats are supported?**

You can export the collected dataset in JSON, CSV, Excel, and other supported Apify dataset formats.

**Can I run the actor on a schedule?**

Yes. You can configure an Apify schedule to collect new feed items automatically at your preferred interval.

**How many articles can it collect per run?**

You can configure `maxItems` up to 1,000. The actor collects from the items available in the RSS response, so the actual number may be lower.

**Can I filter articles by a specific cryptocurrency?**

Yes. Set the `keyword` parameter to a term such as `Bitcoin`, `Ethereum`, or another topic to filter matching feed items.

**Does this actor extract complete articles?**

No. It collects information available in the RSS feed, such as headlines, summaries, dates, and media references. Full article content may not be included.

### Disclaimer

This Actor is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or otherwise officially associated with Cointelegraph. All data is collected from publicly available sources. Users are responsible for complying with applicable terms of use and laws when using the collected information.

### Is Web Scraping Legal?

Collecting information that is already public is generally legal. There is no single law that bans all forms of web scraping. The limits are the usual ones: do not break into accounts, do not take private or confidential data, and be careful with personal data and copyrighted works. A site's terms can also restrict how you access it. Facts such as a public name, price, or rating are not the same thing as republishing someone's article or photo.

This actor collects information from public pages. It does not log in and it does not bypass access controls.

For a longer explanation, see Apify's article [Is web scraping legal?](https://blog.apify.com/is-web-scraping-legal/).

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "feedUrls": [
    "https://cointelegraph.com/rss"
  ]
}' |
apify call real-estate-api/cointelegraph-rss-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,real-estate-api/cointelegraph-rss-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
