## 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

## HWP / HWPX → PDF & Word Converter

Convert Korean **HWP** and **HWPX** documents to **PDF** or **Word (`.docx`)** — no Hancom Office, no manual steps. Powered by LibreOffice + H2Orestart, running in an isolated container.

HWP is a closed, Korea-specific document format used across Korean government and enterprise. This Actor lets people **and AI agents** turn HWP/HWPX files into portable PDF or editable Word with a single call.

### What it does

- **HWP (v5) / HWPX → PDF** — faithful text, tables, layout (read-ready)
- **HWP / HWPX → DOCX** — editable Word output
- Already-PDF input passes through untouched
- Accepts the file as **base64** or a **URL**

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `contentBase64` | string | Base64-encoded HWP/HWPX file. Provide this **or** `fileUrl`. |
| `fileUrl` | string | URL of an HWP/HWPX file to fetch and convert. |
| `target` | enum | `pdf` (default) or `docx`. |

Example:

```json
{ "fileUrl": "https://example.com/doc.hwp", "target": "pdf" }
```

### Output

A dataset item plus the converted file in the key-value store:

```json
{ "target": "pdf", "bytes": 292916, "outputKey": "output.pdf", "output_b64": "<base64>" }
```

- Download the file from the key-value store (`output.pdf` / `output.docx`), or
- Read `output_b64` directly from the dataset (handy for programmatic / agent use).

### Pricing

**Pay per event** — you are charged only on a **successful conversion** (event `conversion`). Failed inputs are not charged.

### Use cases

- Read/convert Korean government (나라장터, gov24) HWP attachments on machines without Hancom
- Pipe HWP documents into RAG / LLM pipelines as PDF or text
- Batch-convert HWP archives to PDF/Word

### Limitations

- Best for read/exchange fidelity: text, tables, structure, and images match closely; some font/page-number styling may differ slightly.
- Large files: keep inputs under ~30 MB.

# Actor input Schema

Output format: PDF or Word (docx).

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "target": "pdf"

# 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("minji_k/hwp-converter").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);
});

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("minji_k/hwp-converter").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():
