What you can do with this data
Agentic RAG
Give Claude, GPT-4, Gemini agents a "browse the web" tool. One function call returns ranked, cleaned web content.
Live Fact-Checking
Before an LLM answers, it can search + read 3 fresh web results. Cite sources, reduce hallucinations.
Competitive Monitoring Bots
Scheduled agents that search for brand mentions, competitor launches, pricing changes — and feed LLM for summarization.
Research Assistants
Users ask questions, LLM searches, reads top 5 results, synthesizes. Cheaper than Perplexity API, more customizable.
Content Brief Generation
Search "best X for Y", read top 10 ranking articles, extract outline patterns — auto-generate content briefs.
Voice Assistant Backends
Behind the scenes of voice AI: user asks question, actor searches + reads, returns to LLM for natural-language answer.
OUTPUT FIELDS
What one call returns
Top 5–10 Google search results
Clean markdown per page
Page titles + canonical URLs
Published dates (when available)
Site names + author metadata
Featured snippet (if in SERP)
People Also Ask (if in SERP)
Knowledge panel

HOW IT WORKS
Three steps to structured data
Send query
POST to Apify API with search query + number of results + optional filters (country, language, time range).
Automated pipeline
Actor queries Google, fetches top-N pages in parallel, renders JavaScript, extracts clean content.
LLM consumes
Returned as structured JSON with markdown bodies — drop directly into GPT/Claude context window.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How does this fit into a RAG pipeline?
It replaces the "retrieval" step. Instead of pre-indexed vectors, the agent searches the live web and reads pages — good when freshness matters more than latency.
What’s the latency?
Typical: 5–15 seconds for search + 5 pages. For agent use, run async and stream results.
Does it work with function calling?
Yes — define an Apify actor call as your search tool. Claude and OpenAI tool-use schemas supported.
Can I customize search region/language?
Yes — pass country code, language, device, and time range per call. Defaults to global English.
What about rate limits?
Apify handles Google anti-bot internally. Typical throughput: 10–20 concurrent queries per actor instance, scales with plan.
