The workflow: Scrape → Clean content → Upload to Gemini → Get permanent queryable knowledge base with automatic citations.

Technical approach: - Intelligent scraper selection from 5 Apify-native scrapers - Automatic content cleaning (strips nav/ads/fluff) - Uploads to Gemini File Search (persistent storage) - Per-page PPE pricing ($0.02 start, $0.0015/page)

Potential use cases: - Turn documentation into AI chatbots - Make company wikis naturally searchable - Build RAG apps without managing vector databases

Basically streamline your Gemini file search RAG ingestion with an Apify scraper run AIO.

You can also employ the actor programmatically with agents using Apify's actor mcp.

Built this over a weekend for the Apify 1M Actor Challenge. It's my first Apify actor, so curious to hear if the pricing makes sense.

Note* that there is a banned websites to scrape list filter due to the constraints of the challenge. This will be lifted after the challenge ends (Jan 31, 2026).17:T567,Hey all, I've been developing Perro Engine, a unique game engine written in Rust that allows you to use C#, TypeScript, or the engine DSL: Pup, to script your game, and the engine will transpile your scripts into Rust modules that interop with the engine without running different runtimes, interpreters, or VMs.

Doing this essentially gives you much more performance than a scripting layer since there's no bytecode having to be decoded and no runtime bloat.

It also allows for each language to support all the same features and access to the engines internal APIs because you don't have to worry about them ACTUALLY being implemented in that language and interfacing with the Rust c
