The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

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 ## SEO Content Extraction SEO Content Extraction reads public web pages and returns clean structured data: title, meta description, headings, body text, and normalized links. It is built for lightweight SEO audits, content inventories, RAG inputs, and agent workflows that need page content without opening unsafe network access. The Actor is intentionally conservative. It does not log in, bypass access controls, execute page JavaScript, solve CAPTCHAs, or scrape private networks. ### What It Returns Each dataset item contains: - `url` and `finalUrl` - HTTP `statusCode` and `contentType` - `title` - meta `description` - `headings` (`h1`, `h2`, `h3`) - cleaned `text` - normalized outbound `links` ### Example Input ```json { "startUrls": ["https://example.com"], "maxPages": 3, "maxDepth": 1, "sameDomainOnly": true, "respectRobotsTxt": true, "includeLinks": true, "textMaxChars": 4000 } ```` ### Input Notes - `startUrls`: 1 to 10 public HTTP/HTTPS URLs. - `maxPages`: 1 to 25 pages per run. - `maxDepth`: 0 to 3 link-following depth. - `sameDomainOnly`: enabled by default. - `respectRobotsTxt`: enabled by default. - `includeHtml`: disabled by default. ### Good Uses - SEO page inventory - Title, meta description, and heading extraction - Lightweight content checks for public websites - RAG and agent data collection from public pages - Internal link discovery within a small site section ### Security And Privacy The Actor blocks: - localhost and private network targets - link-local and metadata IP targets - special-use hostnames such as `.local` and `.internal` - URLs with embedded credentials - shell/process/proxy override fields in input JSON - script-like input strings The Actor does not accept custom proxy settings, shell commands, environment variables, worker URLs, or worker tokens from callers. ### Limitations This is a public-page content extractor. It is not a browser automation Actor, does not render JavaScript-only content, and is not designed for login-only sites, CAPTCHA flows, anti-bot bypass, or high-volume harvesting. # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Public HTTP/HTTPS URLs to crawl. Localhost, private networks, and metadata IPs are blocked. ## `maxPages` (type: `integer`): Maximum pages to fetch across all start URLs. ## `maxDepth` (type: `integer`): Link-following depth. Use 0 to fetch only start URLs. ## `sameDomainOnly` (type: `boolean`): Only follow links on the same hostname as the page where they were found. ## `respectRobotsTxt` (type: `boolean`): Check robots.txt before fetching pages. ## `includeText` (type: `boolean`): Include cleaned page text in output. ## `includeLinks` (type: `boolean`): Include normalized links found on each page. ## `includeHtml` (type: `boolean`): Include truncated raw HTML. Disabled by default to keep datasets small. ## `textMaxChars` (type: `integer`): Maximum cleaned text characters per page. ## `requestTimeoutSecs` (type: `integer`): Timeout for each page request. ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrls": [ "https://example.com" ], "maxPages": 5, "maxDepth": 1, "sameDomainOnly": true, "respectRobotsTxt": true, "includeText": true, "includeLinks": true, "includeHtml": false, "textMaxChars": 5000, "requestTimeoutSecs": 20 } ``` # 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://example.com" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("scenic_telescope/safe-web-scraper").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 📖?
