Input

SettingTypeRequiredDefaultWhat it does
mode string Yes directories What to collect. `directories` aggregates public onion directory entries; `search` returns Ahmia index-result metadata; `byUrls` reads directory pages you supply. Legacy `crawl` and `searchAndCrawl` values are accepted and mapped in code.
source string No onionTree Directory aggregation source (mode=directories). `all` merges OnionTree, dark.fail and tor.taxi.
categories array No [] Keep OnionTree entries matching any selected category (mode=directories). Allowed values: archive, blockchain, blog, chat, dead, defcon, ebook, etherpad, forum, git, hacking, hosting, imageboard, jabber, journalism, keyserver, leaks, library, link-list, linux, mail, news, operating-system, pastebin,
searchQueries array No [] One or more keywords to query against the Ahmia index (mode=search). Each query is one request; result pages are never opened.
maxResultsPerQuery integer No 20 Cap on Ahmia rows per query (mode=search). The global maxItems cap still applies.
startUrls array No [] Clearnet or v3 onion directory/index pages to read (mode=byUrls). Only entry links and adjacent structured contact links are parsed; linked onion pages are not opened.
maxItems integer No 100 Hard cap on records emitted to the dataset.
maxPages integer No 5 Maximum directory pages fetched in mode=byUrls.
verifyLiveness boolean No true Fetch each unique onion domain once through Tor and fill measured status, HTTP code, page title and check time. Applies to directories and byUrls; search mode never opens result pages.
livenessTimeoutSecs integer No 12 Per-domain timeout for the optional Tor liveness check.

SettingTypeRequiredDefaultWhat it does
includeUnreachable boolean No true When liveness is enabled, keep entries measured as timeout or unreachable. Applies only when verifyLiveness is true.
extractEmails boolean No true Include structured emails from OnionTree PGP user IDs and explicit mailto: links on directory pages. No free-text email mining.
extractPhones boolean No true Include phone numbers from explicit tel: links on directory pages only. No free-text phone mining.
extractSocialHandles boolean No true Include handles from explicit X/Twitter, Instagram and Telegram profile links on directory pages only.
extractPgpContacts boolean No true Include OnionTree PGP fingerprint, key ID and contact email. The public key block itself is never stored.

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 = {
    "mode": "directories",
    "source": "onionTree",
    "categories": [],
    "searchQueries": [],
    "maxResultsPerQuery": 3,
    "startUrls": [],
    "maxItems": 3,
    "maxPages": 1,
    "verifyLiveness": False,
    "livenessTimeoutSecs": 8,
    "includeUnreachable": True,
    "extractEmails": False,
    "extractPhones": False,
    "extractSocialHandles": False,
    "extractPgpContacts": False
}

run = client.actor("xyrelith-data/tor-hidden-service-crawler-and-contact-extractor").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 = {
    "mode": "directories",
    "source": "onionTree",
    "categories": [],
    "searchQueries": [],
    "maxResultsPerQuery": 3,
    "startUrls": [],
    "maxItems": 3,
    "maxPages": 1,
    "verifyLiveness": false,
    "livenessTimeoutSecs": 8,
    "includeUnreachable": true,
    "extractEmails": false,
    "extractPhones": false,
    "extractSocialHandles": false,
    "extractPgpContacts": false
};

const run = await client.actor("xyrelith-data/tor-hidden-service-crawler-and-contact-extractor").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/xyrelith-data~tor-hidden-service-crawler-and-contact-extractor/run-sync-get-dataset-items"   -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN"   -H "Content-Type: application/json"   -d '{"mode":"directories","source":"onionTree","categories":[],"searchQueries":[],"maxResultsPerQuery":3,"startUrls":[],"maxItems":3,"maxPages":1,"verifyLiveness":false,"livenessTimeoutSecs":8,"includeUnreachable":true,"extractEmails":false,"extractPhones":false,"extractSocialHandles":false,"extractPgpContacts":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=xyrelith-data/tor-hidden-service-crawler-and-contact-extractor",
      "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 4 GB a run starts at $0.40 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 $10.30 ($9.90 for results + $0.40 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.
