## 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

## Yep Search Scraper

Scrapes organic web results from Yep and returns each result's rank, title, link, displayed URL, domain, snippet, page, and search context.

### What this Actor collects

The Actor creates one dataset item per organic Yep result, preserving rank and page information for search visibility analysis.

- Uses the input limits and filters below to control the crawl.
- Stores source-backed fields defined by the 12-field dataset schema.
- Optional display URL, domain, and snippet fields are populated only when Yep exposes them.

### Use cases

- Search and competitor research
- Ranking and visibility monitoring
- Dataset and workflow enrichment

### Input

Provide input in JSON. Fields marked required must be supplied; source-specific alternatives and constraints are described in the field text.

| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | :---: | --- | --- |
| `query` | string | Yes | — | The search query to look up on Yep. |
| `maxItems` | integer | No | `50` | Maximum number of search results to scrape. |
| `safeSearch` | string | No | `"off"` | Safety filter: `off`, `moderate`, or `strict`. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | No | — | Proxy settings for the scraper. |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "query": "artificial intelligence",
  "maxItems": 50,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  },
  "safeSearch": "off"
}
```

### Output

The default dataset contains one item per organic search result. `displayUrl`, `domain`, and `snippet` are included when Yep supplies them.

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `position` | integer | Position |
| `title` | string | Title |
| `link` | string | Link |
| `displayUrl` | string | Displayed URL |
| `domain` | string | Domain |
| `snippet` | string | Snippet |
| `page` | integer | Page |
| `searchQuery` | string | Search Query |
| `scrapedAt` | string | Scraped At |
| `type` | string | Type |
| `resultType` | string | Result Type |
| `searchUrl` | string | Search URL |

<details>
<summary>All 12 declared dataset fields</summary>

`position`, `title`, `link`, `displayUrl`, `domain`, `snippet`, `type`, `resultType`, `page`, `searchQuery`
`searchUrl`, `scrapedAt`

</details>

#### Example dataset item

No static output record is embedded because the current local storage has no trustworthy item. Run the Actor with the example input to create source-backed output; the Actor does not fabricate a sample record.

# 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 = {
    "query": "artificial intelligence",
    "maxItems": 50,
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true
    }
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("searchapi/yep-search-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);
});

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,searchapi/yep-search-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).
