## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

Rapid Multi-Site Content Extractor
This high-speed Actor is built to capture key information from numerous websites at once. It’s perfect for users seeking fast, accurate insights into web content, layout, and core components.

If you’re working with a single webpage, try my other specialized tool — Fast URL Content Crawler.

For websites that are harder to crawl or return incomplete results, you can rely on the Deep Website Content Crawler for deeper and more comprehensive extraction.

Key Features

Batch URL Handling: Automatically normalizes URLs (including www prefixes and international domains) for smooth bulk crawling.

Parallel Crawling Engine: Boosts performance by processing multiple sites simultaneously.

Intelligent Text Processing: Uses cleaning and deduplication logic to ensure clean, high-quality data output.

Use Cases

Ideal for:

Competitor analysis

Content collection and aggregation

Website architecture review

This Actor provides a fast snapshot of multiple websites, saving significant time compared to manual or traditional crawling methods.

Note

Always make sure to follow all applicable laws, data policies, and website terms of service when using this Actor.

# Actor input Schema

## `url` (type: `string`):

The URL of website you want to get the data from.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "url": "https://www.apify.com"
}
```

# 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 = {
    "url": "https://www.apify.com"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("timelody/website-content-crawler-fast").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);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "url": "https://www.apify.com" }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("timelody/website-content-crawler-fast").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "url": "https://www.apify.com"
}' |
apify call timelody/website-content-crawler-fast --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,timelody/website-content-crawler-fast"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
