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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Website URL to Metadata > **Looking for AI-powered metadata extraction?** Check out our pay-per-use actor with AI summary capabilities: [URL Summary Scraper with AI](https://apify.com/njoylab/ai-enhanced-website-metadata) This project is a web scraping tool designed to extract metadata from websites. The scraper can fetch metadata such as titles, descriptions, social media links, and more from a webpage. ### Features - Fetches metadata from a given URL. - Supports custom user-agent strings. - Respects `robots.txt` rules unless explicitly ignored. - Extracts social media links and contact information. - Extracts external links. ### Usage 1. **Prepare the input:** It should include at least the `url` field. ```json { "url": "https://example.com", "language": "en-US", "ignoreRobots": false, "ignoreExternalLinks": false, "ignoreInteralLinks": false } ```` 2. **Output:** ```json { "title": "Example Domain", "description": "This domain is for use in illustrative examples in documents.", "keywords": "example, domain, illustrative, examples, documents", "image": "https://example.com/image.png", "facebook": "https://facebook.com/example", "x": "https://twitter.com/example", "linkedin": "https://linkedin.com/company/example", "instagram": "https://instagram.com/example", "youtube": "https://youtube.com/example", "trustpilot": "https://trustpilot.com/review/example.com", "canonical": "https://example.com", "url_fetched": "https://example.com", "url": "https://example.com", "mail": "contact@example.com", "robotsAllow": true, "linksExternal": ["https://example.com/external1", "https://example.com/external2"], "linksInternal": ["https://example.com/about", "https://example.com/contacts"] } ``` ### Configuration - **User-Agent:** The scraper uses a random user-agent string for each request to mimic a real browser. - **Language:** You can specify the `Accept-Language` header in the input payload. - **Robots.txt:** By default, the scraper respects `robots.txt` rules. Set `ignoreRobots` to `true` in the input payload to bypass this. - **External Links:** By default, the scraper extracts external links. Set `ignoreExternalLinks` to `true` in the input payload to bypass this. - **Internal Links:** By default, the scraper extracts internal links. Set `ignoreInternalLinks` to `true` in the input payload to bypass this. # Actor input Schema ## `url` (type: `string`): The URL of website you want to get the data from. ## `language` (type: `string`): Accept-Language header value ## `ignoreRobots` (type: `boolean`): Ignore the robots.txt file and scrape the page anyway ## `ignoreExternalLinks` (type: `boolean`): Don't return external links ## `ignoreInteralLinks` (type: `boolean`): Don't return internal links ## Actor input object example ```json { "url": "https://www.apify.com", "language": "en, en-US;q=0.9, en-GB;q=0.8", "ignoreRobots": false, "ignoreExternalLinks": false, "ignoreInteralLinks": false } ``` # 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 '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "url": "https://www.apify.com", "language": "en, en-US;q=0.9, en-GB;q=0.8" }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("njoylab/url-summary-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); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
