## 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

The actor performs a crawl of web pages from a provided list of naked domain names using headless Chrome.
For each web page visited, the crawler extracts and saves the following information:

- Page data:
  - Page title
  - List of all links
  - [JSON+LD](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON-LD) linked data
- Social handles
  - Emails
  - Phone numbers
  - Facebook profiles
  - LinkedIn profiles
  - Twitter profiles
  - Instagram profiles
- Screenshot (if `saveScreenshot` setting is `true`). The screenshots are stored in JPEG format to save disk space.
  Note that taking screenshots is quite resource intensive and will slow your crawler down.
- HTML content (if `saveHtml` setting is `true`)
- Text body of the page (if `saveText` setting is `true`)
- HTTP response headers
- Information about SSL/TLS certificate

For each domain (e.g. `example.com`) from the input, the actor tries to load the following pages:

- `http://example.com`
- `https://example.com` (only if `crawlHttpsVersion` setting is `true`)
- `http://www.example.com` (only if `crawlWwwSubdomain` setting is `true`)
- `https://www.example.com` (only if both `crawlHttpsVersion` and `crawlWwwSubdomain` settings are `true`)

Additionally, if the `crawlLinkCount` setting is greater than zero, for each domain
the crawler tries to open `crawlLinkCount` pages linked from the main page and analyze them too.
The crawler prefers the links that contains the `/contact` text, to increase the chance it will find
more emails, phone numbers and other social handles.

The results of the crawler are stored into a dataset. For each web page crawled
there is one record. The optional screenshots and HTML snapshots of web pages are stored
into separate records into the key-value store.

For example, for the web page `https://example.com` the resulting record in the dataset will look as follows (in JSON format):

```
{
  "domain": "example.com",
  "url": "http://example.com/",
  "response": {
    "url": "http://example.com/",
    "status": 200,
    "remoteAddress": {
      "ip": "93.184.216.34",
      "port": 80
    },
    "headers": {
      "content-encoding": "gzip",
      "cache-control": "max-age=604800",
      "content-type": "text/html; charset=UTF-8",

    },

  },

    "title": "Example Domain",
    "linkUrls": [
      "http://www.iana.org/domains/example"
    ],
    "linkedDataObjects": []
  },
  "social": {
    "emails": [],
    "phones": [],
    "phonesUncertain": [],
    "linkedIns": [],
    "twitters": [],
    "instagrams": [],
    "facebooks": []
  },
  "screenshot": {
    "url": "https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/%3Cactor_run_id%3E/records/screenshot-example.com-00.jpg",
    "length": 18572
  },
  "html": {
    "url": "https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/%3Cactor_run_id%3E/records/content-example.com-00.html",
    "length": 1262
  },
  "text": " EXAMPLE DOMAIN\nThis domain is established to be used for illustrative examples in documents.\nYou may use this domain in examples without prior coordination or asking for\npermission.\n\nMore information..."
}
```

If the web page cannot be loaded for any reason, the record contains the information about the error:

```
{
  "domain": "non-existent-domain.net",
  "url": "http://non-existent-domain.net/",
  "errorMessage": "Error: net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED at http://non-existent-domain.net\n    at navigate (/Users/jan/Projects/actor-analyze-domains/node_modules/puppeteer/lib/FrameManager.js:103:37)\n    at <anonymous>\n    at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:189:7)\n  -- ASYNC --\n    at Frame.<anonymous> (/Users/jan/Projects/actor-analyse-domains/node_modules/puppeteer/lib/helper.js:144:27)\n    at Page.goto (/Users/jan/Projects/actor-analyse-domains/node_modules/puppeteer/lib/Page.js:587:49)\n    at Page.<anonymous> (/Users/jan/Projects/actor-analyse-domains/node_modules/puppeteer/lib/helper.js:145:23)\n    at PuppeteerCrawler.gotoFunction (/Users/jan/Projects/actor-analyse-domains/node_modules/apify/build/puppeteer_crawler.js:30:53)\n    at PuppeteerCrawler._handleRequestFunction (/Users/jan/Projects/actor-analyse-domains/node_modules/apify/build/puppeteer_crawler.js:322:48)\n    at <anonymous>\n    at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:189:7)"

# Actor input Schema

## `domains` (type: `string`):

List of domains to crawl. The domains must be naked, i.e. specified without a protocol and sub-domains (e.g. <code>example.com</code>).

## `domainsFileUrl` (type: `string`):

URL of a text file that contains the list of domains to crawl. The domains must be naked, i.e. specified without a protocol and sub-domains (e.g. <code>example.com</code>).<br><br>This field is useful if you have a large number of domains.

## `domainsFileOffset` (type: `integer`):

Indicates how many domains from the file should be skipped in the beginning. This is useful if you only want to crawl a portion of the domains.

## `domainsFileCount` (type: `integer`):

Indicates how many domains from the file should be crawled, starting from the offset. This is useful if you only want to crawl a portion of the domains. Leave empty to crawl all domains.

## `useChrome` (type: `boolean`):

If checked, the actor uses Chrome instead of Puppeteer's Chromium for the crawling. This might help to prevent blocking of some pages.

## `useApifyProxy` (type: `boolean`):

If checked, the actor uses Apify Proxy to access the target pages. This might help to prevent blocking of some pages.

## `maxRequestRetries` (type: `integer`):

Indicates how many times shall the crawler retry to load a page on error.

## `crawlLinkCount` (type: `integer`):

Indicates how many links from the main page going to the same domain shall also be crawled.

## `crawlHttpsVersion` (type: `boolean`):

If checked, the actor attempts to crawl HTTPs version of the website (e.g. <code>https://example.com</code> for domain <code>example.com</code>).

## `crawlWwwSubdomain` (type: `boolean`):

If checked, the actor attempts to crawl <code>www.</code> sub-domain of the website (e.g. <code>http://www.example.com</code> for domain <code>example.com</code>).

## `saveScreenshot` (type: `boolean`):

If checked, the actor stores screenshots of all loaded pages into the key-value store.

## `saveHtml` (type: `boolean`):

If checked, the actor stores HTML content of all loaded pages into the key-value store.

## `saveText` (type: `boolean`):

If checked, the actor stores text content of all loaded pages into the dataset results.

## `considerChildFrames` (type: `boolean`):

If checked, the actor searches for social handles even in the content of the first-level child frames. The 'page.text' also contains the combined text of the main frame and direct child frames.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "domains": "example.com\\niana.org\\napify.com",
  "maxRequestRetries": 2,
  "crawlLinkCount": 5
}' |
apify call jancurn/analyze-domains --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,jancurn/analyze-domains"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
