## 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.

### Why Use This Actor?

- **Financial news monitoring** - track CNBC markets and economy coverage programmatically.

This actor uses **only HTTP requests** - no browser, no Selenium, no Playwright. Articles are extracted in seconds with RAM usage well under 256 MB.

### Input

```json
{
  "url": "https://www.cnbc.com/2026/04/13/example-article.html",
  "urls": [
    "https://www.cnbc.com/2026/04/13/article-one.html",
    "https://www.cnbc.com/2026/04/13/article-two.html"

  "source": "CNBC",

### Fetch Latest News

Set `mode` to `"latest"` to fetch the newest article URLs and titles from CNBC instead of extracting a single article.

**Input:**

```json
{
  "mode": "latest",
  "limit": 10
}
```

**Output** - array of objects:

```json
[
  {
    "url": "https://www.cnbc.com/2026/04/20/us-iran-war-middle-east-conflict-peace-deal-strait-hormuz-shipping-ceasefire-tensions.html",
    "title": "'Resumption of hostilities': seized ship, vessel attacks push U.S.-Iran ceasefire toward brink",
    "published_date": "Mon, 20 Apr 2026 08:05:03 GMT",
    "source": "CNBC"
  }
  //...
]
```

### Cron Schedule: Auto-Fetch Newest Articles

Combine `mode: "latest"` and `mode: "article"` to keep a fresh feed running on autopilot:

1. **Schedule** a recurring run of this Actor with `{"mode": "latest", "limit": 20}` via Apify Schedules (UI ▸ Schedules ▸ Create new). A cron expression like `*/30 * * * *` runs it every 30 minutes.
2. **Webhook** the dataset of the latest run into another Actor run with `mode: "article"` and the new URLs as input — Apify integrations let you chain runs via the "Actor finished" webhook without any glue code.
3. The article-mode run extracts the full body, image, authors, and metadata for each URL and appends to your master dataset.

Common cron expressions:

| Frequency | Cron |
|---|---|
| Every 15 minutes | `*/15 * * * *` |
| Hourly | `0 * * * *` |
| Every 6 hours | `0 */6 * * *` |
| Daily at 06:00 UTC | `0 6 * * *` |
