## What's an Apify Actor?
Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.
In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md):
```bash
npm install apify-client
```
In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md):
```bash
pip install apify-client
```
In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):
````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash
In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md).
If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.
For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).

# Actor input Schema
## `endpoint` (type: `string`):
Select the Website Insights API endpoint to query.
## `startUrls` (type: `array`):
One or more URLs or domains to get insights for. You can paste a list of domains/URLs, upload a text file, or link a Google Sheet.
## `website` (type: `string`):
π Important Note:
Data returned for "www.example.com" and "example.com" are identical, as they represent the same root domain.
Subdomain data (e.g., blog.example.com) differs from root domain data (example.com), as they are treated as separate entities.
While the API can parse full URLs into subdomain.root.domain/page format, for optimal accuracy, you can directly provide the specific domain or a complete URL.
**Example:**
β `https://www.reddit.com/random-url/`
β `example.com`
β `subdomain.domain.com`
For best results, please use a valid website URL or domain name.

```json
{
"endpoint": "all-insights",
"startUrls": [
{
"url": "https://www.reddit.com/random-url/"

# 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 = {
"startUrls": [
{
"url": "https://www.reddit.com/random-url/"
},
{
"url": "https://ycombinator.com"
},
{
"url": "https://blog.hubspot.com"
},
{
"url": "https://invalid-domain-example.xyz"
}
]
};
// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("thedataloom/website-traffic-seo-insights-api").call(input);
// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`πΎ 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);
});
