## 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.

# README

## Streem Article Scraper – Webhook Support

A fast and reliable tool for extracting **full-text content** and **metadata** from Streem article links. This scraper is designed to support media teams, analysts, and researchers who need consistent, structured article data—automatically delivered via webhook.

---

### 🚀 Features

- ✅ **Multi-URL Support** – Process one or many Streem article links in a single run
- ⚙️ **Concurrent Scraping** – Handle multiple articles in parallel for faster results
- 🔄 **Webhook Integration** – Automatically send results to your endpoint after completion
- 🧹 **Clean Content Output** – Removes excess HTML/CSS, returns plain, readable text
- 🔒 **Optional Webhook Auth** – Add a token to secure your webhook endpoint
- 📄 **Consistent Output** – Each result includes success/error status, article data, and input URL

---

### 🔧 How It Works

#### 1. Provide Input

You can supply either:

- `urls`: A list of Streem article links
- `url`: A single Streem article link

Additional options:

- `concurrency`: Number of articles to process at the same time (default: 3)
- `webhook_url`: (Optional) Where the data will be sent after scraping
- `webhook_method`: POST or PUT (default: POST)
- `webhook_token`: (Optional) Used as a bearer token to secure your webhook

---

#### 2. Processing

For each URL, the scraper will:

- Fetch the page
- Extract the clean article text and metadata
- Package the data into a consistent JSON result
- Flag errors while keeping the structure intact

---

#### 3. Delivery

When a `webhook_url` is provided, all results are sent automatically to your system—no manual downloading or polling required.

---

### 📥 Input Example

```json
{
  "urls": [
    "https://links.streem.com.au/dubbo-photo-news-20250702-XVg7X1h8q7U4Hnh7EbRnI8cEjRRve",
    "https://links.streem.com.au/the-kimberley-echo-20250702-2716altLN5CQHRh"
  ],
  "concurrency": 3,
  "webhook_url": "https://your-api.com/webhook/streem-articles",
  "webhook_token": "my-secret-token-123",
  "webhook_method": "POST"
}

# Actor input Schema

## `concurrency` (type: `integer`):

Number of URLs to process concurrently
## `webhook_url` (type: `string`):

URL to submit crawling results after completion (optional)
## `webhook_token` (type: `string`):

Bearer token for webhook authentication (optional but recommended if using webhook). It can be any custom string (e.g., 'my-secret-token-123').
## `webhook_method` (type: `string`):

HTTP method to use for webhook submission

# 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 = {};

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

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("devninja/streem-article-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

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