## Pricing

from $1.65 / 1,000 page analyseds

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

## Website SEO & Metadata Extractor - Tags, OG & Issues

> **Disclaimer:** This Actor is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the owners of any website, service or document it processes. All trademarks mentioned are the property of their respective owners. Any site or brand names are referenced only to describe the content this Actor processes.

Point it at a list of URLs and get a full SEO and metadata record for each page: the title and meta
description (with lengths), canonical, robots/indexability, language, CMS/generator, **OpenGraph** and
**Twitter card** tags, **JSON-LD structured data**, heading counts and `h1` text, internal/external/
nofollow link counts, image alt coverage, hreflang alternates, feeds, server hints - plus a scored
list of **actionable SEO issues**. Pure HTTP + parsing, no browser, cents per page.

### What you get per URL

| Group | Fields |
|---|---|
| Core | `title` `titleLength` `metaDescription` `descriptionLength` `canonical` `robotsMeta` `isIndexable` `lang` `generator` `charset` `viewport` |
| Social | `ogTitle` `ogDescription` `ogImage` `ogType` `ogSiteName` · `twitterCard` `twitterTitle` `twitterImage` |
| Structure | `h1` `h1Count` `h2Count` `h3Count` · `jsonLdTypes` `structuredData` |
| Links & media | `internalLinks` `externalLinks` `nofollowLinks` `imageCount` `imagesMissingAlt` `wordCount` |
| Tech & i18n | `server` `xPoweredBy` `contentType` `pageSizeBytes` `favicon` `feeds` `hreflang` |
| Verdict | `seoScore` (0-100) · `seoIssues` (e.g. *title over 60 chars*, *no canonical*, *page is noindex*, *20/40 images missing alt*) |

### Input

```json
{
  "urls": ["https://apify.com", "example.com/pricing"],
  "includeStructuredData": true,
  "includeLinks": true
}
```

- **URLs** - one per line; a bare domain gets `https://`. Leave empty for a small free sample.
- **Import URLs from a file** - paste a list, or link a public `.txt`/`.csv`, a Google Sheet/Drive
  link, or an Apify key-value-store record.
- **Output fields** - tick only the columns you need for a lean export.

### Notes

- Reads the server-rendered HTML, so it captures everything in the page source (which is what search
  engines and social crawlers read). It does not run client-side JavaScript.
- A URL that returns an error or non-HTML content is reported with `status: "failed"` and the reason,
  and is **not charged**.

### How much does it cost?

This Actor uses Apify's **pay-per-event** pricing: you are charged only for the results it delivers, with no monthly rental and no start fee. The events it can charge are:

- **Page analysed** - One URL fetched and analysed for SEO + metadata: title, meta, OpenGraph, Twitter cards, JSON-LD, headings, links, hreflang, feeds and a scored issue list. Only successful analyses are charged.

The current price of each event is shown on the **Pricing** tab of this page. Set a maximum total charge on the run if you want a hard cap on spend, and use the input limits to control how much the Actor fetches.

### Use with AI assistants (MCP)

Available through the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp) - an agent
can audit a set of pages, pull OpenGraph/JSON-LD for a link preview or knowledge graph, or feed the
issue list into an SEO workflow.

### Agent-ready: autonomous payments (x402 & Skyfire)

This actor is **agent-ready** - AI agents can discover it, run it, and **pay for it autonomously**, with no Apify account and no human in the loop. It uses [pay-per-event](https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/publishing/monetize/pay-per-event) pricing and [limited permissions](https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/development/permissions), so it qualifies for Apify's agentic-payment standards:

- **[x402](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/x402)** - an open, HTTP-native payment protocol. Agents pay per run in USDC on the Base network directly through the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp) - no account, no API key.
- **[Skyfire](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/skyfire)** - agent-to-service payments for fully autonomous AI-agent workflows.

Building an AI agent, MCP tool, or autonomous data pipeline? This scraper is ready to plug in and pay as it goes.

### Automate & schedule

Run this Actor on autopilot and pull results into your own stack:

- **[Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2)** - start runs, fetch datasets and manage schedules over REST.
- **[apify-client for JavaScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/)** and **[apify-client for Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/)** - official SDKs.
- **[Schedules](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules)** - run it hourly, daily or weekly and keep your dataset current.
- **[Webhooks](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/webhooks)** - trigger downstream actions (CRM import, Slack alert, email sequence) the moment a run finishes.

```js
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'MY_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('scrapesage/website-seo-extractor').call({
    "urls": [
        "https://apify.com"
    ],
    "includeStructuredData": true
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(`Got ${items.length} records`);
```

### Integrate with any app

Connect the dataset to thousands of apps - no code required:

- **[Make](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/make)** - multi-step automation scenarios.
- **[Zapier](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/zapier)** - push new records straight into your CRM or spreadsheet.
- **[Slack](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/slack)** - get notified when a scheduled run finds something new.
- **[Google Drive / Sheets](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/drive)** - auto-export every run to a spreadsheet.
- **[Airbyte](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/airbyte)** - pipe results into your data warehouse.
- **[GitHub](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/github)** - trigger runs from commits or releases.

### FAQ

**How is this Actor billed?** Pay-per-event: you pay only for the results it delivers, with no monthly rental and no start fee. The per-event price is shown on the Pricing tab.

**Can I schedule it and get results automatically?** Yes - create a [Schedule](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules) and add a [webhook](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/webhooks) or an integration (Google Sheets, Slack, Make, Zapier) to push each run's dataset wherever you need it.

**Which export formats are available?** Every run's dataset can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, Excel (XLSX), XML, HTML or RSS from the Apify Console or the API.

**Can I run it from code or an AI agent?** Yes - through the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) and client libraries, or from Claude, ChatGPT and other assistants via the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp).

# Actor input Schema

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

Website URLs to analyse, one per line. A bare domain (<code>example.com</code>) is accepted and gets <code>https://</code>. Duplicates are collapsed. <b>Leave empty and the run returns a small free sample.</b>

## `urlsFromFile` (type: `string`):

Bulk-load URLs. Either <b>paste the whole list</b> (one per line), or give <b>a single link</b> to a public <code>.txt</code>/<code>.csv</code>, a Google Sheet/Drive share link, or an Apify key-value-store record. Blank lines, <code>#</code> comments, quotes and extra CSV columns all parse. A file that cannot be read says so and charges nothing.

## `includeStructuredData` (type: `boolean`):

Extract the page's JSON-LD blocks and their @types (Organization, Product, Article, BreadcrumbList, ...). Turn off for a leaner record.

## `includeHeadings` (type: `boolean`):

Include the actual <code>h1</code> text (and h1/h2/h3 counts). Counts are always included; this adds the text.

## `includeLinks` (type: `boolean`):

Count internal, external and nofollow links on the page.

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

How many URLs to fetch in parallel.

## `outputFields` (type: `array`):

Pick the fields you want and every record is trimmed to exactly those - handy for lean CSV/Sheets exports. Open the dropdown and tick, or type to filter (<code>title</code>, <code>og</code>, <code>issues</code>).

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of URLs to analyse in one run (after de-duplication).

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Optional. Most sites serve their HTML to a plain request, so no proxy is needed by default. Enable a proxy only if a site blocks the fetch.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "urls": [
    "https://apify.com"
  ],
  "urlsFromFile": "",
  "includeStructuredData": true,
  "includeHeadings": true,
  "includeLinks": true,
  "concurrency": 10,
  "maxItems": 100
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `results` (type: `string`):

Each scraped record - pages with their SEO tags and metadata - as a JSON item in the default dataset.

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,scrapesage/website-seo-extractor"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
