## 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`).

### ❻ FAQ

#### What data can you get from the MOZ Scraper?

The MOZ Scraper can extract a wide range of SEO data from MOZ, including domain authority scores, spam & trust scores, backlink metrics, ranking keyword distributions, top competitors, and historical authority trends.

#### How do input multiple URLs for bulk analysis?

You can input multiple URLs by providing an array of strings in the `urls` parameter. For example: `["example.com", "anotherdomain.com"]`. The scraper will process each URL and return structured data for all of them in a single run.

#### How long does a run take?

The duration of a run depends on the number of URLs being processed and the search types selected. Generally, a single URL with both search types can take around 15-60 seconds. Bulk runs with multiple URLs may take longer, especially if historical data is included.

### ❼ While the scraper is running

During the run, the actor will output log messages letting you know what is going on at any point. Each message always contains specific information about the process including which url / page the actor is working on.

If you provide invalid inputs to the actor, it will immediately stop with a failure state and output log messages explaining what is wrong. If you are unsure what went wrong feel free to open up an issue in the issue tab.
