Input

SettingTypeRequiredDefaultWhat it does
targetUrls array No – Public pages you own or are authorized to test. Legacy startUrls is accepted when this is empty.
pageviews integer No 10 Total page loads to attempt, including followed pages. 1-1000.
pagesPerVisit integer No 1 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 string No human Human adds dwell, mouse and scroll behaviour. Quick loads the page and leaves without scrolling or clicks.
dwellSeconds integer No 20 Target seconds on each page for human visits, varied slightly. Internal clicks may extend the measured time. Ignored by quick style.
referrerMode string No direct Referrer shown to the site: direct, search engine, social network, or a custom URL.
customReferrer string No – Full http(s) URL used when Referrer is Custom URL.
scroll boolean No true 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 No true Attempt one visible same-site link per page during human visits. Ads, forms and external links are never clicked.
deviceMix string No mixed Device profile for each visit. Mobile and tablet use Android Chromium emulation.

utmSource string No – Optional utm_source label appended to target URLs, e.g. traffic-test. Recommended to mark test visits.

Run it from code or an AI agent

The same run through the Apify API, with the example input. You need an Apify API token; the run is billed to your account at the Store price.

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run_input = {
    "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 = client.actor("vexaloom-labs/human-like-website-pageview-traffic-simulator").call(run_input=run_input)
if run is None:
    raise RuntimeError("The Actor run was not found.")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

pip install apify-client

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from "apify-client";

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: "<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" });
const input = {
    "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
};

const run = await client.actor("vexaloom-labs/human-like-website-pageview-traffic-simulator").call(input);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

npm install apify-client

cURL

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/vexaloom-labs~human-like-website-pageview-traffic-simulator/run-sync-get-dataset-items"   -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN"   -H "Content-Type: application/json"   -d '{"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}'

Waits for the run and returns the dataset items (runs over 300 seconds return HTTP 408; start an async run instead).

MCP (AI agents)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=vexaloom-labs/human-like-website-pageview-traffic-simulator",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Adds this Actor as a tool in an MCP client that takes a remote server URL (Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code) through Apify's hosted MCP server. OAuth sign-in also works without the header. Clients that only start local servers can wrap the URL with npx mcp-remote.

What a run costs

The result rate falls on higher Apify plans. Each figure is the published per-result rate times the number of results.

Apify planPer 1,00010,000 results100,000 results
Free plan$0.99$9.90$99
Starter plan$0.82$8.20$82
Scale plan$0.66$6.60$66
Business plan$0.49$4.90$49
  • Every run also has a start event, charged per GB of memory (minimum one): $0.10 on Free, $0.03 on Business. At its default memory of 1 GB a run starts at $0.10 on Free. Fewer, larger runs keep this small.
  • The Free plan includes $5 of monthly usage (Apify pricing, checked 2026-11-11); at the Free rate that covers at most about 5,050 results, less start events and platform usage.
  • Worked example: 10,000 results in one run on the Free plan cost $10 ($9.90 for results + $0.10 start), plus Apify platform usage (compute), billed separately by Apify.
  • Pay per event. Platform usage (compute) is billed by Apify on top of the event prices. Compare other tools in the cost estimator.
