## 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

## Snapify

**Snapify** is a simple tool that allows you to capture screenshots and generate PDFs of websites. You can provide a list of URLs, and Snapify will process each one to create visual representations in your desired format.

### How to Use

To use Snapify, you need to provide the following inputs:

- **List of URLs:**  Enter one or more website URLs that you want to capture. Snapify will process each URL in the list.
- **Output Type:** Choose the type of output you want to generate. You can select from:
  - **PNG:**  High-quality image format, good for screenshots.
  - **JPEG:**  Compressed image format, smaller file size, suitable for web use.
  - **PDF:**  Portable Document Format, ideal for creating documents from web pages.
- **Image Format (if Output Type is PNG or JPEG):**  If you choose PNG or JPEG as the output type, you can further select the image format for the screenshot:
  - **PNG**
  - **JPEG**
- **Wait Until:**  This option determines when Snapify considers the webpage fully loaded before taking a screenshot or generating a PDF. You can choose from:
  - **load:**  Wait for the page load event.
  - **domcontentloaded:** Wait for the initial HTML document to be loaded and parsed.
  - **networkidle0:** Wait until network connections are idle (no new network requests) for at least 500 ms.
  - **networkidle2:** Wait until network connections are idle for at least 500 ms (only 2 or fewer network requests).
- **Delay Before Processing:**  Specify a delay in milliseconds before Snapify takes the screenshot or PDF. This can be useful for websites with animations or content that loads after a delay.
- **Device:**  Select the type of device to emulate when capturing the website. This affects the viewport width and how the website is rendered:
  - **Desktop**
  - **Tablet**
  - **Mobile**

### Example

Let's say you want to take a PNG screenshot of `https://example.com` as a desktop view. You would configure Snapify with:

- **List of URLs:** `https://example.com`
- **Output Type:** `PNG`
- **Format:** `PNG` (default)
- **Wait Until:** `load` (default)
- **Delay Before Processing:** `0` (default)
- **Device:** `Desktop` (default)

Snapify will then generate a PNG screenshot of `https://example.com` as it appears on a desktop and save it for you.

This tool is useful for quickly capturing website visuals for documentation, archiving, or analysis.

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Enter one or more URLs to process.

## `outputType` (type: `string`):

Choose the output type.

## `format` (type: `string`):

## Actor input object example

```json

    {
      "url": "https://www.example.com",
      "method": "GET"
    }
  ],

  "format": "PNG",
  "waitUntil": "load",
  "delayBeforeScreenshot": 0,
  "device": "Desktop"
}
```

# 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("replymaster/snapify").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);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# 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("replymaster/snapify").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():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call replymaster/snapify --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

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

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).
