## 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`).

## Ubersuggest Scraper

Extract keyword and domain SEO metrics from neilpatel.com

### What it does

Ubersuggest Scraper is a data-collection tool for the seo tools and marketing category. The inputs let you set the scope and preferences for a run, while the results provide organized records that are easier to review and use.

### Input

Provide the values that define the scope and preferences for the run. Review each option before starting so the resulting dataset matches the information you want to analyze or reuse.

| Name | Type | Description | Default |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| country | string | Country code | "us" |
| language | string | Language code | "en" |
| maxItems | integer | Maximum number of items to return | 100 |
| mode | string | Scrape mode: keyword or domain | "keyword" |
| proxyConfiguration | object | Proxy settings for the scraper | {"useApifyProxy":true,"apifyProxyGroups":\["RESIDENTIAL"]} |
| queries | array | Array of keywords or domains to scrape | — |
| startUrls | array | Direct neilpatel.com/ubersuggest URLs | — |

### Output

A successful run produces a dataset of structured items collected according to your inputs. You can review the records, use them in analysis, or pass them to another part of your workflow. The exact fields depend on the source data and the options selected for the run.

### Usage

1. Open the actor page.
2. Fill in the input values and review the configuration.
3. Run the actor and wait for the collection to finish.
4. Download the results from the dataset and use the records in your preferred workflow.

### Pricing

Pricing is pay-per-event, so you pay only for results.

### Usage statistics

This Actor creates a small, content-free summary at the end of each run. It is used only to monitor reliability and improve this Actor. A copy is saved as `USAGE_STATS` in your own Apify key-value store, so you can see the exact record created for your run.

Set `disableUsageStats` to `true` in the input to opt out. Nothing is sent then; your `USAGE_STATS` record only says that statistics were disabled.

Only these fields are recorded:

- schema version, Actor name and build number;
- UTC start and finish hour (not a precise timestamp);
- run duration, number of results and time to the first result, each as a coarse range;
- whether the result was empty, the end status, and an error type from a fixed list;
- memory setting and counts of charged events;
- names of the input fields you set, never their values;
- the selected option for input fields that offer a fixed list of choices (for example a sort order).

We do not collect input text, search terms, URLs, domains, usernames, email addresses, names, proxy credentials, tokens, scraped records, output items, raw error messages, stack traces, or hashes of any of those values. Records are kept for no longer than 13 months, used only as aggregated operational statistics, and never sold or shared.

#### Additional fields (Phase 2)

This Actor also records your Apify user ID, whether Apify marks the account as paying, the size range of list inputs, the selected country when the input offers a fixed list of countries, and one category from a fixed Actor taxonomy. We use these fields only for aggregate reliability, repeat-use and cross-Actor analysis; reports suppress any cell with fewer than five distinct users.

The same `disableUsageStats: true` input flag turns these fields off too. The user ID is removed after 13 months; we do not export, sell, share, or attempt to re-identify this data.

#### Run-outcome signals (v2)

To learn whether a run did what it was asked to do, the record also holds a few more coarse ranges and yes/no flags. None of them contains content:

- the result limit you asked for (a range, when the input has one) and what share of it was delivered;
- results delivered per input item you listed (a range);
- output quality as ranges: how fully the result fields were filled, the share of rows that look like errors, the share of duplicate rows, and how many different fields appeared. These are counted in memory while results are saved; no result content is kept;
- how the run was started (console, API, schedule, webhook, another Actor);
- how it ended: stopped by you, timed out, reached the requested limit, stopped by the charge limit, and how many times the platform moved the run;
- if this Actor reports it: how many items to process worked or failed (ranges) and one failure reason from a fixed list;
- a short code made from the names of the input fields you set, never their values.

#### Repeat-run fingerprint (v2)

When your Apify user ID is recorded (see above), the record also holds an 8-character one-way code made from your input (proxy settings left out) and this Actor's name. It only lets us see that the same account ran the same input again soon after an unsatisfying run; we never see the input itself. It is stored only in the database, never published, and reports use it in aggregate with the same five-user minimum. It is the one exception to the statement above that no hashes are collected, and `disableUsageStats: true` turns it off.

# 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 = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("bovi/ubersuggest-scraper").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);
});

# 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 = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("bovi/ubersuggest-scraper").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():

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call bovi/ubersuggest-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

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

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).
