## Pricing

from $0.47 / 1,000 page scanneds

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Web Page Asset Extractor

Extract all scripts, stylesheets, and external resources from any web page to understand exactly what gets loaded. Performance engineers use this to spot bloat, security teams use it to flag risky third-party includes, and archivists use it to inventory render-critical resources. Scan hundreds of pages in bulk with full cross-origin detection.

### Features

- **Script extraction** — finds every external `<script src="...">` and resolves it to an absolute URL
- **Stylesheet extraction** — captures all `<link rel="stylesheet">` references with full URL resolution
- **Cross-origin detection** — flags each asset as same-origin or cross-origin so you can spot third-party dependencies instantly
- **Deduplication** — automatically removes duplicate asset URLs within each page result
- **Bulk processing** — scan hundreds of URLs in a single run with configurable concurrency
- **Error resilience** — failed URLs still produce a result row with the error message, so no data goes missing
- **Pay-per-event billing** — you only pay for each page scanned, with automatic charge-limit enforcement

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `urls` | `array` | Yes | — | List of page URLs to scan for external assets. Each page is fetched and parsed for scripts and stylesheets. |
| `url` | `string` | No | — | Single URL to scan (for backwards compatibility). Use `urls` for bulk processing. |
| `timeoutSeconds` | `integer` | No | `15` | Maximum seconds to wait for each page response before timing out. |
| `concurrency` | `integer` | No | `10` | Number of pages to process in parallel. Increase for large batches, decrease if you hit rate limits. |

#### Input Example

```json
{
  "urls": [
    "https://crawlee.dev",
    "https://apify.com"
  ]
}
```

### Output

Each URL produces one dataset item listing all external scripts and stylesheets found on the page.

- `inputUrl` (`string`) — the URL you submitted
- `finalUrl` (`string`) — the URL after redirects
- `status` (`number`) — HTTP status code
- `cssCount` (`number`) — number of external stylesheets found
- `jsCount` (`number`) — number of external scripts found
- `stylesheets` (`array`) — list of stylesheet objects with `url` and `crossOrigin` fields
- `scripts` (`array`) — list of script objects with `url` and `crossOrigin` fields
- `error` (`string | null`) — error message if the URL could not be fetched
- `checkedAt` (`string`) — ISO 8601 timestamp of when the scan was performed

#### Output Example

```json
{
  "inputUrl": "https://crawlee.dev",
  "finalUrl": "https://crawlee.dev/",
  "status": 200,
  "cssCount": 2,
  "jsCount": 5,
  "stylesheets": [
    { "url": "https://crawlee.dev/assets/css/styles.css", "crossOrigin": false }
  ],
  "scripts": [
    { "url": "https://crawlee.dev/assets/js/main.js", "crossOrigin": false },
    { "url": "https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-XXXXX", "crossOrigin": true }
  ],
  "error": null,
  "checkedAt": "2025-01-15T10:30:00.000Z"
}
```

### Pricing

| Event | Cost |
|-------|------|
| Page Scanned | Pay-per-event (see actor pricing page) |

The actor stops automatically when the per-run charge limit is reached, so you never overspend.

### Use Cases

- **Performance auditing** — count external scripts and stylesheets to identify page-weight bloat
- **Security review** — flag cross-origin third-party scripts that could introduce supply-chain risk
- **Web archiving** — inventory every resource needed to fully render a page offline
- **Compliance checks** — detect unauthorized tracking scripts or ad-tech includes across your site
- **Competitor analysis** — see which CDNs, analytics tools, and widget vendors a competitor relies on

# Actor input Schema

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

List of page URLs to scan for external scripts and stylesheets. Each page is fetched and parsed for asset references.

## `url` (type: `string`):

Single URL to scan (for backwards compatibility). Use the URLs field above for bulk processing.

## `timeoutSeconds` (type: `integer`):

Maximum seconds to wait for each page response. Increase for slow or geographically distant sites.

## `concurrency` (type: `integer`):

Number of pages to process in parallel. Higher values speed up large batches but may trigger rate limits on some hosts.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "urls": [
    "https://crawlee.dev"
  ],
  "timeoutSeconds": 15,
  "concurrency": 10
}
```

});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {

        "https://crawlee.dev"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("andok/asset-extractor").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();

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{

apify call andok/asset-extractor --silent --output-dataset

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {

        }
    }
}
```

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).
