## Pricing

Pay per usage

This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper 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

#### Traffic Booster - The fast way to test and look professional! 🚀

![Traffic Booster](images/banner_image.png)

Welcome to the Apify Traffic booster! The place to quickly generate traffic for your content and websites! 🌐

### What does Website Traffic Booster do? 🚀

Traffic booster helps you generate traffic for your website! It's the easiest way to test your Google Analytics or boost your numbers. Appear more professional with larger view numbers in minutes. For testing Google Analytics variables like retention time can be set up in the input page. 📊

### Why use Website Traffic Booster? 🤔

This Website Traffic Generator is useful for:

- Testing Google Analytics tracking 🧪
- Increasing page view numbers for a more professional appearance 📈
- Simulate international traffic with built-in residential proxies 🌍
- Increase specific video views 🎥

### How to use Website Traffic Generator 🛠️

To use Website Traffic Generator, follow these steps:

1. Input a list of URLs and specify the number of visits and visit duration per URL. 📝
2. Set variables like number of visits and retention time however you prefer! ⚙️
3. Run the actor. 🎬
4. Monitor the traffic being generated for your website. 📊

### Pricing 💰

Website Traffic Generator is available on the Apify Free plan, which provides $5 free usage credits per month. This allows you to generate a certain number of visits for free 🆓. For larger traffic generation needs, consider upgrading to an Apify subscription plan. 💳

To save on resource costs be sure to do a larger amount of visits in one run, instead of doing multiple runs. The startup is one of the more resource-intensive parts of the run. 💡

### Results 📄

The actor produces data in JSON format, including the list of URLs, locations 📍, number of visits per URL, and wait times between visits ⌛.

### Legal Considerations ⚖️

When using Website Traffic Generator, be mindful of legal regulations regarding web scraping and data privacy 🔒. Ensure that you have a legitimate reason for generating traffic to avoid any legal issues 🚫.

## CLI example

echo '{}' |
apify call bluebird/traffic-generator --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

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

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).
