## 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 Metadata & Tech Profiler — Bulk URL Inspector

Profile a whole list of URLs in one run. For each URL you get **one JSON row**
with reachability, on-page metadata, server & security headers, and lightweight
tech hints. HTTP-based — fast, no headless browser, no proxies to configure.

Great for **SEO audits**, **lead enrichment**, **competitor/tech research**, and
**security-header posture checks** across many sites at once.

### What you get per URL

| Group | Fields |
|---|---|
| **Reachability** | `final_url` (after redirects), `status`, `ok`, `content_type` |
| **Metadata** | `title`, `description`, `canonical`, Open Graph (`og:title/description/image/site_name`) |
| **Server** | `server`, `powered_by` headers |
| **Security headers** | HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy + present/missing **grade** |
| **Tech hints** | Cloudflare, nginx, Apache, PHP, Express, Next.js, Nuxt, Shopify, WordPress, Vercel … |

### Input

```json
{ "urls": ["example.com", "https://github.com/about"], "timeoutSecs": 15 }
```

Bare domains are upgraded to `https://`. Leave `urls` empty to run the built-in sample.

### Output (one item per URL)

```json
{
  "url": "https://github.com/",
  "final_url": "https://github.com/",
  "status": 200,
  "title": "GitHub · Build and ship software...",
  "description": "...",
  "og": { "title": "GitHub", "image": "https://.../" },
  "server": "GitHub.com",
  "security_headers": { "present": ["strict-transport-security", "content-security-policy"], "missing": ["permissions-policy"], "grade": "5/6" },
  "tech": ["Cloudflare"],
  "queried_at": "2026-05-31T00:00:00.000Z"
}
```

Export as JSON/CSV/Excel or pull via the Apify API.

### Use cases

- **SEO audit at scale** — title/description/canonical/OG coverage across a site list.
- **Lead enrichment** — tech stack + server signals for a list of company URLs.
- **Security posture** — which sites are missing HSTS/CSP/etc., graded.
- **Competitor research** — what a set of sites run, in one table.

### Pricing

Pay per result: **$0.01 per URL profiled**. No rental, no subscription.

### Notes

HTTP-only (fetch + lightweight parsing), so there's no browser to break and it
stays low-maintenance. Pairs with
[Domain Intelligence](https://apify.com/weiseer/domain-intel-scraper) (DNS/WHOIS/SSL)
for a full domain + website profile.

# Actor input Schema

## `urls` (type: `array`):

List of URLs or domains to profile. Bare domains are upgraded to https://. e.g. example.com or https://example.com/page

## `timeoutSecs` (type: `integer`):

Max seconds to wait for each URL before recording a timeout.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "urls": [
    "example.com",
    "github.com"
  ],
  "timeoutSecs": 15
}
```

# 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 = {
    "urls": [
        "example.com",
        "github.com"
    ]
};

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

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "urls": [
        "example.com",
        "github.com",
    ] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("weiseer/website-metadata-tech-profiler").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "urls": [
    "example.com",
    "github.com"
  ]
}' |
apify call weiseer/website-metadata-tech-profiler --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,weiseer/website-metadata-tech-profiler"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
