## 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

## Google About This Result Scraper

Scrapes source-backed metadata and search relationship factors from Google About This Result pages.

### What this Actor collects

The Actor converts Google's About This Result disclosures into one clean JSON record per inspected search result, including result identity, source and entity details, relationship factors, panel metadata, locale, and retrieval provenance when available.

- Uses the input limits and filters below to control the crawl.
- Stores source-backed fields defined by the 37-field dataset schema.
- Omits optional fields when the source does not expose a value instead of writing nulls or fabricated placeholders.

### Use cases

- Entity research
- Search-result verification
- Knowledge-graph enrichment

### Input

Provide input in JSON. Fields marked required must be supplied. The Default / example column shows a schema default when one exists; otherwise it shows a documented prefill or fixture value.

| Field | Type | Required | Default / example | Description |
| --- | --- | :---: | --- | --- |
| `query` | string | Yes | `"OpenAI"` | Search term to look up on Google |
| `maxItems` | integer | No | `10` | Maximum number of results to extract About This Result info for |
| `gl` | string | No | `"us"` | Country code for localized results (e.g., us, uk, in) |
| `hl` | string | No | `"en"` | Language code (e.g., en, es, fr) |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | No | `{"useApifyProxy":true,"apifyProxyGroups":["GOOGLE_SERP"]}` | Proxy used to load Google result pages. GOOGLE\_SERP is recommended. |
| `panelProxyConfiguration` | object | No | `{"useApifyProxy":true,"apifyProxyGroups":["RESIDENTIAL"]}` | Proxy used to fetch Google's embedded About This Result pages. Residential sessions are recommended. |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "query": "ai",
  "maxItems": 20,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "GOOGLE_SERP"
    ]
  },
  "gl": "us",
  "hl": "en",
  "panelProxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ]
  }
}
```

### Output

The default dataset contains one item per inspected Google result. The following are the most useful fields; entity, source, ownership, and relationship details appear only when Google includes them in the disclosure.

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `position` | integer | SERP Position |
| `title` | string | Result Title |
| `url` | string | Result URL |
| `sourceName` | string | Source Name |
| `sourceType` | string | Source Type |
| `sourceDescription` | string | Source Description |
| `resultLanguage` | string | Result Language |
| `relevantRegions` | array | Relevant Regions |
| `isAd` | boolean | Advertisement |
| `page` | integer | Search Page |
| `searchQuery` | string | Search Query |
| `scrapedAt` | string | Scraped At |
| `type` | string | Record Type |
| `snippet` | string | Search Snippet |
| `link` | string | Result Link |
| `query` | string | Query |
