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.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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). # README ## Scrappa Google Search Scrape Google Search results at scale. Extract organic results, knowledge panels, related searches, People Also Ask, local results, and more. Supports geo-targeting, language settings, and pagination. ### Features - **Organic Results** - Title, URL, snippet, and position for each result - **Knowledge Graph** - Rich information panels for entities - **People Also Ask** - Related questions and answers - **Related Searches** - Suggested search queries - **Local Results** - Business listings with maps data - **Inline Content** - Videos, images, and other embedded results - **Geo-targeting** - Search from any location worldwide - **Language Support** - Interface and results in any language - **Pagination** - Retrieve multiple pages of results ### Input | Field | Type | Required | Description | |-------|------|----------|-------------| | `query` | string | Yes | Search query | | `location` | string | No | Location for geo-targeted results (e.g., "New York, NY") | | `gl` | string | No | Country code (e.g., "us", "uk", "de") | | `hl` | string | No | Language code (e.g., "en", "de", "es") | | `google_domain` | string | No | Google domain to query (e.g., "google.com", "google.de") | | `start` | integer | No | Pagination offset (0, 10, 20...) | | `amount` | integer | No | Number of results (1-100, default: 10) | | `safe` | string | No | Safe Search setting (`off` or `active`) | | `tbs` | string | No | Time filter (qdr:h, qdr:d, qdr:w, qdr:m, qdr:y) | | `tbm` | string | No | Search type (nws, vid, isch, shop) | ### Output #### Dataset (Organic Results) Each organic result is saved to the dataset: ```json { "position": 1, "title": "Example Title", "link": "https://example.com/page", "displayed_link": "example.com › page", "snippet": "Description text from the search result...", "source": "example.com" } ```` #### Key-Value Store (Full Response) The complete response is saved to the `OUTPUT` key, including: ```json { "search_information": { "query_displayed": "your search query", "total_results": 1000000 }, "organic_results": [...], "related_searches": [ { "query": "related query", "link": "https://..." } ], "related_questions": [...], "knowledge_graph": {...}, "local_results": {...}, "inline_videos": [...], "inline_images": [...] } ``` ### Example ```json { "query": "best pizza in chicago", "location": "Chicago, IL, USA", "gl": "us", "hl": "en", "amount": 20 } ``` ### Pricing $0.30 per 1,000 results. No additional API keys required. ### Support For issues or questions, contact us through Apify. # Actor input Schema ## `query` (type: `string`): The search term or phrase to look up on Google ## `location` (type: `string`): Geographic location for localized results (e.g., 'New York, NY, USA', 'London, UK') ## `gl` (type: `string`): Two-letter country code for Google's country service (e.g., 'us', 'uk', 'de', 'fr') ## `hl` (type: `string`): Two-letter language code for the interface (e.g., 'en', 'de', 'es', 'fr') ## `google_domain` (type: `string`): Google domain to query (e.g., 'google.com', 'google.de', 'google.co.uk') ## `start` (type: `integer`): Result offset for pagination. Use 0 for first page, 10 for second, 20 for third, etc. ## `amount` (type: `integer`): How many results to return per request (1-100) ## `safe` (type: `string`): Filter explicit content from results ## `tbs` (type: `string`): Filter results by time. Examples: 'qdr:h' (past hour), 'qdr:d' (past day), 'qdr:w' (past week), 'qdr:m' (past month), 'qdr:y' (past year) ## `tbm` (type: `string`): Type of Google search to perform ## Actor input object example ```json { "query": "best restaurants in new york", "start": 0, "amount": 10, "safe": "off", "tbm": "" } ``` # 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": "best restaurants in new york" }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("thescrappa/scrappa-google-search").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 📖?
