Website Content Extractor

After this run

Turn this Actor's output into a capped paid report with SaaS Pricing Page Monitor & Competitor Price Change Alerts. Use it when SaaS founders, product marketers, and pricing teams need to decide whether a public competitor pricing page changed in a way that affects packaging or sales messaging.

• First report: $3 / pricing_snapshot_report; set maxChargeUsd to $3.
• Deeper report: $15 / competitor_pricing_report; use only when the first result needs competitor or action-depth.
• This is an internal Apify flow aid. It is not revenue proof until accounted paid usage appears.

Next report-style Actors

If you already have data from this Actor, these follow-on Actors turn public or user-provided inputs into decision-ready reports. They are optional, capped by maxChargeUsd, and do not make business outcome claims.

• Website RAG Readiness Audit Report - decide whether extracted public pages are clean enough for RAG before embedding.
• SaaS Pricing Page Monitor - turn public pricing pages into competitor pricing action reports.
• Ad Landing Page Offer Intelligence - turn landing pages into CRO offer and proof checklists.

AI builders, content ops, SEO teams, and documentation teams use this actor to turn Public website pages supplied by the user into a clean dataset for Site QA & Content Intelligence Pack. Provide focused source inputs, keep the first run small, and expand only after the output shape is useful. Each emitted row includes source context, timestamps, and fields designed for monitoring, QA, research, or workflow handoff.

Pricing and no-change runs

$0.001 actor start and $0.009 per useful content row. Failed/no-content rows should stay out of the default dataset.

The default dataset is the billable surface. Dry runs, validation-only runs, missing-key warnings, and unchanged recurring polls should not write payable default-dataset rows.

Compliance guardrails

• Fetch public pages supplied by the user.
• Respect site policies, rate limits, and robots guidance where applicable.
• Use output for content operations, QA, and RAG workflows.
• Do not use provider emblems or wording that implies approval by an upstream data provider.
