## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## SEOmatic SEO Tools

Run a technical SEO audit on up to 10 pages, or get a complete, research-grounded SEO article written and quality-gated for you. Audits and articles are charged when they are delivered; an article also has a $0.50 start fee.

### What it does

**Technical SEO audit** (`product: "audit"`, 1 to 10 URLs per run)

Crawls your pages with SEOmatic's own crawler and reports the issues a single-page check cannot see:

- duplicate and missing titles and meta descriptions
- pages without exactly one H1
- thin content
- noindex pages and canonical tags pointing elsewhere
- dead pages, redirects and broken internal links (link targets are checked)
- slow pages

Give it pages from the same site to catch duplicates and broken links across them. Pages are crawled within a time budget; if it runs out, the result is marked partial and says how many pages were not crawled. If none of the pages can be crawled, the run fails and nothing is charged.

**AI-written SEO article** (`product: "article"`, one article per run)

One in-depth article on your topic: researched against what currently ranks for it (when search data is available), written, and checked by SEOmatic's quality gate. An article that does not pass is not delivered and its article event is not charged. Delivered as markdown and HTML with an AI-search score. Generation usually takes a few minutes; the actor waits and outputs the finished piece.

### Pricing

Pay per event, no subscription:

| Event                                           | When it is charged                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
| ----------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `audit-completed`                               | Once per run, when the audit report is delivered                                                                                                                                                                                        |
| `article-delivered`                             | Once per run, when the finished article is delivered                                                                                                                                                                                    |
| `article-started` (only if listed on this page) | A small fee when an article run starts. It covers the work already begun, so it is kept if you abort the run or the article is rejected; the article itself is billed only on delivery. If you abort, the unfinished article is stopped |

**You are only charged for delivered results.** If a run cannot finish (an invalid URL, pages that cannot be crawled, a failed or rejected article, a timeout), the audit or article event is not charged (the optional `article-started` fee, if listed, is kept). Before starting, the actor checks that your run's maximum cost covers what the run can charge, so it never does work it cannot bill, and a restarted run is never charged twice. If Apify's own per-run start fee is enabled for this actor, it applies to every run (a fraction of a cent).

### Input

```json
{
  "product": "audit",
  "urls": ["https://example.com", "https://example.com/pricing"]
}
```

```json
{
  "product": "article",
  "topic": "how to choose trail running shoes"
}
```

| Field     | For     | Rules                                 |
| --------- | ------- | ------------------------------------- |
| `product` | both    | `audit` (default) or `article`        |
| `urls`    | audit   | 1 to 10 unique `http` or `https` URLs |
| `topic`   | article | 3 to 200 characters                   |

### Output

Each run adds one item to the dataset (see the **Audits** and **Articles** views in the Output tab).

**Audit:** `status` (`done`, or `partial` when the time budget ran out), `urls`, `pages_crawled`, `pages_failed`, `issue_count`, and `issues` grouped by type: `deadPages`, `brokenInternalLinks`, `duplicateTitles`, `duplicateMetaDescriptions`, `missingMetaDescription`, `badH1`, `thinContent`, `noindexPages`, `canonicalMismatch`, `redirectedPages`, `slowPages`.

**Article:** `topic`, `title`, `word_count`, `ai_search_score`, `featured_image_url`, `markdown` and `html`. The article is also saved as `article.md` and `article.html` in the run's key-value store, ready to download.

### Limits

- Audits: 10 URLs per run; very large pages may make the crawl partial.
- Articles: one per run. Set the run timeout to 25 minutes or more: the actor refuses to start an article with less than 22 minutes of run time left, and gives up after 20 minutes of generation (or shortly before the run timeout) without charging the article event.
- Articles are written in English.

# Actor input Schema

## `product` (type: `string`):

## `urls` (type: `array`):

For the audit: 1 to 10 different full page URLs (http or https), ideally from the same site so duplicate titles and broken internal links are found across them.

## `topic` (type: `string`):

For the article: the keyword or topic to write about (3 to 200 characters), for example "how to choose trail running shoes". The article is researched against what currently ranks for it when search data is available.

## CLI example

apify call seomatic/seomatic-seo-tools --silent --output-dataset

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {

    }
}
```

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).
