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 * * *

Scope & Compliance

• Public content only. This actor requests pages the same way an ordinary anonymous visitor's browser does. It uses no login, no subscriber credentials, no cookies from a paid account, and does not attempt to obtain content the publisher withholds from anonymous visitors.
• Subscriber-only material is not retrieved. Where the publisher serves only a headline, summary or intro to anonymous visitors, that is what the actor returns — and it flags the result so your pipeline can tell the difference.
• No security control is defeated. The actor sends ordinary HTTPS requests with a browser-accurate TLS fingerprint so it does not need a browser engine. It solves no CAPTCHAs and forges no authentication.
• Copyright stays with the publisher. Output is intended for research, monitoring, archiving and analysis. You are responsible for using it in line with the publisher's Terms of Service, copyright law and any applicable data-protection rules — republishing article text is generally not permitted.
• Rate limits are respected. Requests are paced and retried politely; the actor is not designed for denial-of-service-scale traffic.
