# Human-Like Website Pageview Traffic Simulator

Use this skill to fetch Human-Like Website Pageview data with the Apify Actor `vexaloom-labs/human-like-website-pageview-traffic-simulator` and work with the returned rows.

## Before running

1. Check that `APIFY_TOKEN` is set in the environment. Never print it or write it to a file.
2. Build `input.json` from the user's request using the fields below. Keep limits small for a first run.
3. Confirm the search terms or URLs with the user if the request is ambiguous.

## Input fields

| Field | Type | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `targetUrls` | array | Public pages you own or are authorized to test. Legacy startUrls is accepted when this is empty. |
| `pageviews` | integer | Total page loads to attempt, including followed pages. 1-1000. |
| `pagesPerVisit` | integer | Maximum pages in one visit (1-10), subject to the total pageview budget; above 1 attempts same-site link clicks when clicks are enabled. |
| `visitStyle` | one of `human`, `quick` | Human adds dwell, mouse and scroll behaviour. Quick loads the page and leaves without scrolling or clicks. |
| `dwellSeconds` | integer | Target seconds on each page for human visits, varied slightly. Internal clicks may extend the measured time. Ignored by quick style. |
| `referrerMode` | one of `direct`, `search`, `social`, `custom` | Referrer shown to the site: direct, search engine, social network, or a custom URL. |
| `scroll` | boolean | Scroll each page during human visits. Scroll depth is omitted when scrolling is off or no range is measurable; a very short page with a tiny overflow can report 100. |
| `clickInternalLinks` | boolean | Attempt one visible same-site link per page during human visits. Ads, forms and external links are never clicked. |
| `deviceMix` | one of `desktop`, `mobile`, `tablet`, `mixed` | Device profile for each visit. Mobile and tablet use Android Chromium emulation. |
| `visitCountry` | string | Optional. Route visits through a residential proxy in this country for geo QA. Adds proxy usage. |
| `blockAds` | boolean | Block known ad domains. Analytics requests still load so tag firing can be measured. |
| `blockImages` | boolean | Skip images, fonts and media for faster, cheaper visits. Analytics still loads. |

Example `input.json` (the Actor's published prefill):

```json
{
  "targetUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://example.com"
    }
  ],
  "pageviews": 1,
  "pagesPerVisit": 1,
  "visitStyle": "quick",
  "dwellSeconds": 1,
  "referrerMode": "direct",
  "scroll": false,
  "clickInternalLinks": false,
  "deviceMix": "desktop",
  "visitCountry": "none",
  "blockAds": false,
  "blockImages": false
}
```

## Run

```bash
curl -sS -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/vexaloom-labs~human-like-website-pageview-traffic-simulator/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d @input.json > results.json
```

The call waits for the run to finish and returns the dataset items as a JSON array. If the run needs more than 300 seconds the API answers with HTTP 408; then start the run with `POST /v2/acts/vexaloom-labs~human-like-website-pageview-traffic-simulator/runs`, poll `GET /v2/actor-runs/{runId}` until `SUCCEEDED`, and read `GET /v2/datasets/{defaultDatasetId}/items`.

## Output

Each item is one record. Published fields include: `url`, `finalUrl`, `status`, `statusCode`, `pageTitle`, `loadTimeMs`, `timeOnPageSec`, `scrollDepthPercent`, `linksFound`, `linksFollowed`, `device`, `referrer`, `analyticsTags`, `errorCode`, `timestamp`.

Summarise what was found, cite the record URLs when present, and say how many items came back. Do not invent values for empty fields.
