This Actor searches Presearch News and publishes normalized public article records.

Input

  • query (required): news-search keywords.
  • maxItems: maximum records to publish, from 1 to 500.
  • safeSearch: enables Presearch's explicit-content filter; enabled by default.
  • maxRequestRetries: bounded navigation retries, from 0 to 5 (default 2).
  • proxyConfiguration: Apify Proxy or custom proxy configuration.

Dataset records

Records include a stable ID, the query, stable position, title, publisher and publisher URL/domain when available, description, ISO-8601 publication time plus the original source time, article URL, thumbnail/image URLs, author, category, tags, favicon, breaking/sponsored/ad flags, and scrape timestamp. Optional values are omitted when the site does not provide them. Article URLs are validated and deduplicated.

The Actor attaches its response listener before navigation, validates status and content type, maps only known public fields from the structured /results response, and uses rendered-card extraction as a bounded fallback. A block page, malformed payload, or empty result set fails the request rather than creating placeholder records.

Local validation

npm test
apify validate-schema
apify run --purge

Presearch currently applies Cloudflare access controls. Use an authorized Residential proxy for cloud validation where available. Challenge and error responses fail closed and are never stored as articles.
