## 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

## Google Autocomplete Scraper — Pay Per Result

Google Autocomplete suggestions for any seed keyword, with query, suggestion text and ranking position.

**Use cases:** SEO keyword research, content ideation, People-also-search analysis, brand monitoring.

### What you get

Each dataset item is one structured JSON record with a stable schema:

`query, suggestion, position, scrapedAt`

### Pricing

| Event | Price |
|---|---|
| Result delivered | **$0.50 per 1,000 suggestions** |
| Actor start | $0.00005 per GB-start |

Empty result sets are **not charged** — you only pay for delivered items.

### Limitations (honest)

Suggestions reflect Google’s public autocomplete endpoint at scrape time and vary by language setting. No search-volume numbers are included — pair with your SEO tool of choice.

### How to use

1. Set your search input (see the example input tab).
2. Run the Actor — results stream into the dataset as they are found.
3. Export as JSON, CSV, or Excel, or fetch via the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2).

# 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 = {
    "queries": [
        "how to",
        "best apify"
    ],
    "maxItems": 10,
    "language": ""
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("smorgi_apps/google-autocomplete-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) => {

## CLI example

```bash

    "best apify"
  ],
  "maxItems": 10,

```

## MCP server setup

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