Extract the page <title> and meta description from any list of URLs.
Useful for quick SEO checks, content audits, data enrichment, or research
where you need to know what a page's title/description tag says without
opening it yourself.
What it does
For each URL you provide, the actor:
- Fetches the page (10s timeout, standard browser user-agent).
- Parses the HTML and extracts:
<title>text<meta name="description">content (falls back toog:descriptionif a standard description tag isn't present)
- Pushes one result per URL to the dataset.
Input
{"urls": [{ "url": "https://apify.com" },{ "url": "https://example.com" }]}
urls is a list of URLs to fetch (required). At least one URL is needed.
Output
One dataset item per URL:
{"url": "https://apify.com","title": "Apify: Marketplace of ready-to-run tools for AI","meta_description": "Thousands of tools to automate your business...","error": null}
If a URL fails to load (timeout, DNS error, non-200 response, etc.), title
and meta_description are null and error contains the failure reason —
the run still succeeds so one bad URL doesn't block the rest of your batch.
Pricing
Pay-per-event:
- Actor Start — charged once per run
- Result — charged per URL processed
- URL Extracted — the primary usage charge, per URL successfully extracted
Notes
- Respects a 10-second timeout per URL so one slow site can't hang the run.
- Does not execute JavaScript — reads only the raw server-rendered HTML, so titles/descriptions injected client-side by JS won't be captured.
