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.

This scraper delivers structured, organic SERP (Search Engine Results Page) data directly to your Apify dataset without the headaches of IP bans. ### 🔥 Key Features - **Deep Pagination:** Scrape up to 11 pages deep for any given keyword to monitor extended rankings. - **Regional Localization:** Pass a country code (e.g., `US`, `GB`, `IN`) to see exactly how search results look to users in a specific region. - **Recency Filtering:** Filter your searches to only see news, blogs, and pages indexed in the past hour, 24 hours, week, month, or year. - **Clean Output:** Every result comes with its exact SERP rank position, the page title, the descriptive snippet, and a direct URL. ### 💡 Top Use Cases - **SEO Monitoring & Rank Tracking:** Track where your domains—and your competitors' domains—rank for high-value keywords over time. - **Brand Sentiment Analysis:** Search for your company name combined with a "past 24 hours" filter to instantly catch PR issues, news mentions, or blog reviews. - **Lead Generation:** Search for niche directories, local businesses, or B2B prospects and extract their URLs in bulk. - **Market Research:** Understand who dominates the top 10 positions for commercial search terms. ### 🗂️ Output Example Our universal mapping engine formats complex Google JSON into a clean, readable table. Here is an example of what the data looks like when you export it: ````json [ { "author": "reactjs.org", "content": "[React – A JavaScript library for building user interfaces]\nReact makes it painless to create interactive UIs. Design simple views for each state...", "metrics": "Position: 1", "url": "[https://reactjs.org/](https://reactjs.org/)", "media": "" }, { "author": "en.wikipedia.org", "content": "[React (software) - Wikipedia]\nReact is a free and open-source front-end JavaScript library for building user interfaces...", "metrics": "Position: 2", "url": "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/React_(software](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/React_(software))", "media": "" } ] # Actor input Schema ## `query` (type: `string`): The exact keyword or search string you are looking for (e.g., 'Reactjs tutorial'). ## `region` (type: `string`): Optional: ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code to localize results (e.g., 'US', 'GB', 'IN'). Defaults to global. ## `date_posted` (type: `string`): Optional: Filter results by recency. ## `page` (type: `integer`): The SERP page number to fetch (1-11). ## Actor input object example ```json { "query": "Reactjs tutorial", "region": "US", "date_posted": "any", "page": 1 } ```` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): The extracted Google Search results stored in the default dataset. # 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 '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "query": "Reactjs tutorial" }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("signalqub/google-search-scraper-live-serp-rank-tracker").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); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?

Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer ` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations). ## OpenAPI specification Download the OpenAPI definition: https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/oBWRYSII6DwGDzvSa/builds/c2tTOYjVEfViOG3IP/openapi.json
