## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Website Tech Stack & SEO Snapshot

Analyze websites for visible technology, analytics/marketing tags, SEO metadata, and simple lead-qualification gaps.

### What it does

- Fetches one or more websites.
- Extracts title, meta description, H1, canonical URL, and Open Graph coverage.
- Detects visible technology signals such as WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, Next.js, React, HubSpot, Cloudflare, Vercel, Netlify, and common analytics tags.
- Flags basic SEO issues.
- Produces a simple `leadScore` and `leadReasons` array for agency prospecting.

### Best for

- Website audit lead lists.
- Agency prospect qualification.
- Enriching business URLs with tech/SEO signals.
- Finding sites with missing analytics, missing metadata, or obvious modernization opportunities.

### Input example

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://apify.com" },
    { "url": "https://example.com" }
  ],
  "timeoutMs": 15000,
  "maxUrls": 25,
  "includeHtmlSignals": true
}
```

### Output example

```json
{
  "url": "https://example.com",
  "finalUrl": "https://example.com/",
  "status": 200,
  "title": "Example Domain",
  "metaDescription": "",
  "h1": "Example Domain",
  "canonicalUrl": "https://example.com/",
  "technologies": ["Cloudflare"],
  "analytics": [],
  "seoIssues": ["Missing meta description", "Missing Open Graph image"],
  "leadScore": 40,
  "leadReasons": ["Missing meta description", "No common analytics/marketing tag detected"],
  "checkedAt": "2026-07-04T00:00:00.000Z"
}
```

### Notes

- This Actor detects visible front-end/header signals only. It is not a full Wappalyzer replacement.
- Detection is heuristic and best used for triage, enrichment, and prospecting.
- Keep batches small at first, inspect output, then scale up.

# 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 = {
    "startUrls": [
        {
            "url": "https://apify.com"
        }
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("knotted_tussock/website-tech-seo-snapshot").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);
});

run_input = { "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://apify.com" }] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("knotted_tussock/website-tech-seo-snapshot").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():
    print(item)
