## Pricing

from $7.00 / 1,000 dataset items

This Actor is paid per event and usage. You are charged both the fixed price for specific events and for Apify platform usage.

## What's an Apify Actor?

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/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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

## API Docs Endpoint Extractor

Extract clean endpoint rows from API docs, snippets, OpenAPI-style text, and integration pages.

This actor is built for buyers who do not want a noisy scrape. It turns simple public text, snippets, or URLs into a compact dataset with only the fields that matter for the workflow. It is intentionally limited to clean, useful rows instead of dumping page text, actor names, internal scores, or duplicate metadata.

### What it is best for

- Fast marketplace-ready research runs
- Lead qualification and enrichment workflows
- Competitive intelligence and monitoring
- CSV exports for sales, marketing, product, and operations teams
- AI-agent workflows that need predictable fields

### Input

The input is intentionally simple:

- `items` - paste snippets, page text, job posts, review text, announcements, or public URLs.
- `maxResults` - choose how many rows to save, from 1 to 20.

You do not need selectors, CSS rules, browser settings, login cookies, or complicated configuration.

### Output

Each saved dataset item contains only these useful fields:

- `apiName` - ApiName extracted or inferred from the supplied text.
- `method` - Method extracted or inferred from the supplied text.
- `endpoint` - Endpoint extracted or inferred from the supplied text.
- `authType` - AuthType extracted or inferred from the supplied text.
- `parameters` - Parameters extracted or inferred from the supplied text.
- `rateLimit` - RateLimit extracted or inferred from the supplied text.
- `docsUrl` - DocsUrl extracted or inferred from the supplied text.

### Example input

```json
{
    "items": [
        "Stripe API: GET /v1/customers requires Bearer token auth. Parameters include limit, email, starting_after. Rate limit: 100 requests per second.",
        "GitHub REST API endpoint POST /repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues supports token authentication and JSON body fields title, body, assignees.",
        "SendGrid endpoint PATCH /v3/marketing/contacts accepts API key auth and contact list identifiers."
    ],
    "maxResults": 3
}
````

### Example output

```json
{
    "apiName": "Stripe API",
    "method": "GET",
    "endpoint": "/v1/customers",
    "authType": "Bearer token",
    "parameters": "limit, email, starting_after",
    "rateLimit": "100 requests per second",
    "docsUrl": "manual input"
}
```

### Why this actor is useful

Many scrapers return too much raw data. This actor is shaped for a buyer who wants a ready-to-use spreadsheet: one row per useful signal, clean columns, and no unnecessary filler fields. That makes it easier to plug into Google Sheets, Airtable, CRMs, lead scoring tools, research reports, and AI workflows.

### Recommended pricing

Best model: **Pay per event / per dataset item**.

Recommended event: `apify-default-dataset-item`

Suggested price: **$0.0035 per endpoint result**.

This is predictable for users because every paid event maps to one visible dataset row.

### Limitations

- The actor works best with public pages or pasted text.
- It does not bypass logins, paywalls, CAPTCHA, or private data restrictions.
- Fields are extracted from visible text and may need human review for high-stakes decisions.
- For very large monitoring jobs, split inputs into batches to keep results easy to inspect.

# Actor input Schema

## `items` (type: `array`):

Paste simple page text, job posts, review snippets, announcements, or URLs. Each item can produce one clean result.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum rows to save. Keep 3 for a quick sample or 20 for a larger test.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "items": [
    "Stripe API: GET /v1/customers requires Bearer token auth. Parameters include limit, email, starting_after. Rate limit: 100 requests per second.",
    "GitHub REST API endpoint POST /repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues supports token authentication and JSON body fields title, body, assignees.",
    "SendGrid endpoint PATCH /v3/marketing/contacts accepts API key auth and contact list identifiers."
  ],
  "maxResults": 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 '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("seeb/api-docs-endpoint-extractor").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);
});
