## 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.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.

## SEO Article Rewrite with Before/After Score

Rewrite an existing article using website context and return the improved markdown with before/after content readiness scores.

Built from practical SEO work in e-commerce, where organic search is a serious acquisition channel and weak content needs a clear fix plan before it is rewritten. This Actor is for customer-owned drafts and articles that need better structure, metadata, search-intent coverage, FAQs, and internal-link opportunities.

This Actor calls the Uygar Content API at `/api/v1/rewrite-article-seo`. It analyzes the original article, builds a fix plan, rewrites the article with that brief, then scores the rewritten version.

It does not publish or save the article to the owner site. The output is a rewritten article package for review.
When `companyWebsite`, `articleDestinationUrl`, or `referenceUrls` are provided, the backend fetches a small amount of public page context with SSRF-protected requests before writing the rewrite brief.

### Use cases

- Managed SEO Article Rewrite for existing customer articles.
- Before/after proof for a paid content audit.
- Updating weak drafts before a human editor publishes them.
- E-commerce, SaaS, local service, and consulting content that needs website context instead of a generic rewrite.

### Input

- `source`: public article URL, article text, or markdown to rewrite.
- `targetKeyword`: primary keyword or search topic.
- `companyWebsite`: customer website for business context.
- `articleDestinationUrl`: where the article is or will be published.
- `referenceUrls`: customer pages or existing articles, one URL per line.
- `instructions`: optional human rewrite instructions.
- `title` and `metaDescription`: optional original metadata overrides.

`source` and `targetKeyword` are required.

Advanced/private inputs:

- `apiKey`: optional customer-scoped Uygar Content API key override. Leave it blank on public Store runs.

### Output

Each successful run returns:

- before content readiness score
- after content readiness score
- score delta
- before/after readiness labels
- before/after metadata and search-intent status
- rewritten title
- rewritten meta description
- rewritten markdown content
- rewritten SEO keywords, FAQ count, and internal-link count
- before and after top problems
- remaining coverage gaps, heading recommendations, and fix plan for editorial review
- full before and after audits

Do not call this a Google ranking score. Use content readiness score or SEO draft score. The goal is to improve article quality and show the before/after work clearly.

# Actor input Schema

## `apiKey` (type: `string`):

Optional advanced override. Leave blank on public Store runs; the Actor owner should configure UYGAR_CONTENT_API_KEY as a secret environment variable.
## `source` (type: `string`):

Paste a public article URL, article text, or markdown to rewrite.
## `targetKeyword` (type: `string`):

Primary keyword or search topic the rewrite should satisfy.
## `instructions` (type: `string`):

Optional human instructions for the rewrite. The system still uses the SEO fix plan as the main brief.
## `title` (type: `string`):

Optional title to use when scoring the original article.
## `metaDescription` (type: `string`):

Optional meta description to use when scoring the original article.
## `companyWebsite` (type: `string`):

Customer website for business context and internal-link opportunities.
## `articleDestinationUrl` (type: `string`):

Where the article is or will be published, or the page/category it should support.
## `referenceUrls` (type: `string`):

Optional customer pages or existing articles, one URL per line. Used for rewrite context and internal-link suggestions.
## `maxLength` (type: `integer`):

Max original article characters to analyze before rewriting. Capped by the API.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "source": "# SEO article service\n\nPaste the current article here, or replace this with a public article URL.",
  "targetKeyword": "SEO article service",
  "maxLength": 80000
}
````

# Actor output Schema

## `results` (type: `string`):

Default dataset items containing the request ID, rewritten article, and before/after content readiness scores.

# 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 = {
    "source": `# SEO article service

Paste the current article here, or replace this with a public article URL.`,
    "targetKeyword": "SEO article service"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("uduzgun/rewrite-article-for-seo").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);
});
