## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## 9GAG Scraper Actor

This is an Apify actor that scrapes 9GAG to extract video, image, and post details from the provided links.

### Input

The actor accepts the following input in JSON format:

- `links` (array): A list of 9GAG post URLs to scrape.
- `proxyConfiguration` (object): Configuration for Apify proxy.

Example input:

```json
{
  "links": [
    { "url": "https://9gag.com/gag/aND4YA4" }
  ],
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}
```

### Output

The actor pushes results to the default Apify Dataset. Each result object contains the scraped details:

- `title`: Post title
- `thumbnail`: Thumbnail image URL
- `medias`: Extracted media files (video or images) with quality and extension
- `type`: Type of post
- `source`: "ninegag"

# 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 '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "links": [
        {
            "url": "https://9gag.com/gag/aND4YA4"
        }
    ]
};
