🚀 Traffic Generator 🚀

Welcome to the Traffic Generator 🎉

The Traffic Generator is a powerful tool designed to simulate realistic web traffic for given URLs. It uses Playwright to automate browser interactions, allowing you to generate views, simulate user behavior, and test website performance. This tool is ideal for testing website scalability, analyzing user behavior, and generating traffic for analytics purposes.

✨ How to Use It ✨

📌 Step 1: Prepare Your Input

1. Prepare a list of URLs you want to generate traffic for.
2. If you're targeting YouTube videos, ensure the URLs are valid YouTube video links.

📌 Step 2: Configure the Actor

1. In the input area of the Traffic Generator, paste the URLs into the "Target URLs" field.
2. Configure the following parameters:
   • YouTube Mode: Enable this if the target URLs are YouTube video links.
   • Duration (seconds): Set the total duration for which the traffic generation should run.
   • Minimum Delay (seconds): Set the minimum delay between visits to different URLs.
   • Maximum Delay (seconds): Set the maximum delay between visits to different URLs.
   • Minimum View Time (seconds): Set the minimum time to spend on each URL.
   • Maximum View Time (seconds): Set the maximum time to spend on each URL.
   • Maximum Retries: Set the maximum number of retries for failed URL visits.
   • Simulate User Behavior: Enable this to simulate realistic user behavior (e.g., scrolling, clicking).

📌 Step 3: Run the Actor

1. Run the actor to start generating traffic.
2. Depending on the number of URLs and the duration, the actor may take some time to complete.

📌 Step 4: Monitor the Results

1. Monitor the logs to see the progress of the traffic generation.
2. Once the actor has finished, you can review the logs and metrics in the Apify Console.
