Website Content Extractor

Run the next report

Turn extracted public pages into capped Site QA report/export runs:

• Run a content QA report when you need title, metadata, thin-content, and page-quality issues grouped into a reviewable report.
• Run an indexability and AI crawler readiness report when you need robots, sitemap, canonical, noindex, schema, and AI crawler access checks.

These follow-on actors use user-supplied public URLs only. They do not provide ranking guarantees, legal advice, or automated messaging workflows.

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.

Store Quickstart

Start with 5 to 20 URLs from one domain, review extracted markdown quality, then expand to sitemap or scheduled checks.

Recommended first run:

  "urls": [
    "https://example.com/docs"
  ],
  "outputFormat": "markdown",
  "limit": 10,
  "delivery": "dataset",
  "dryRun": false
}

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.

Related report Actors

Use these follow-on Actors when you want a capped, decision-ready report instead of more raw rows. They use public or user-provided inputs, respect maxChargeUsd, and do not promise rankings, revenue, conversion lifts, or sales outcomes.

• SaaS Pricing Page Monitor - turn public pricing pages into competitor pricing decision reports.
• Ad Landing Page Offer Intelligence - turn public landing pages into CRO offer and proof checklists.

Related paid report workflows

If this Actor gave you raw rows or source context, these follow-on report Actors are designed for a small capped paid run. They help make a decision, not just collect more data.

• Website Lighthouse & WCAG Regression Report - audit performance, accessibility, SEO, and regression signals with a capped report run.
• SaaS Pricing Page Monitor & Competitor Price Change Alerts - decide whether a public competitor pricing page changed in a way that affects packaging or sales messaging. Entry $3 / pricing_snapshot_report; premium $15 / competitor_pricing_report.
• Ad Landing Page Offer Intelligence & CRO Gap Report - decide which public landing-page offer gaps to fix before increasing ad spend. Entry $3 / landing_offer_report; premium $15 / cro_gap_report_pack.

Keep maxChargeUsd equal to the selected tier. Internal links are traffic aids only; real proof requires accounted paid usage.
