## Pricing
from $10.00 / 1,000 domain period evaluateds
This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

## What's an Apify Actor?
An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.
## How to integrate an Actor?
If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.
For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.
Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
# README
## DMARC Aggregate Drift Monitor
Offline, deterministic comparison of user-supplied DMARC aggregate XML in an
explicit baseline period and current period.
The Actor emits one summary for every comparison plus stable NEW\_SOURCE and
ALIGNMENT\_REGRESSION findings. Raw SPF/DKIM authentication evidence remains
separate from DMARC SPF/DKIM identifier-alignment evidence.
Version 1 accepts inline XML arrays only. It does not fetch URLs, ingest a
mailbox, open gzip/ZIP/MIME containers, query DNS, enrich IPs, attribute vendors,
or scan message content. See actor.manifest.json for canonical scope, pricing,
Store metadata, and the initial Example Task.
Local quality:
```
npm run quality
```

```
python ../../factory/run_gate.py --actor . --through store-qa-static

# Actor input Schema
## `comparisons` (type: `array`):
One to 50 independent comparisons, each with explicit baseline and current inline XML report arrays.
## `maxXmlBytes` (type: `integer`):
Reject a report whose UTF-8 XML exceeds this size.
## `maxReportsPerPeriod` (type: `integer`):
Upper bound for baseline or current reports in one comparison.
## `maxRecordsPerReport` (type: `integer`):
Reject an XML report with more normalized record tuples.
## `maxTotalRecordsPerComparison` (type: `integer`):
Reject a period whose deduplicated reports exceed this aggregate record bound.
## `maxFindingsPerComparison` (type: `integer`):
Bound drift findings while reporting the truthful total and truncation state.

# API
You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.
## JavaScript example
```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';
// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
token: '',
});
// Prepare Actor input
const input = {

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("ceddl/dmarc-aggregate-drift-monitor").call(input);
// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');

## MCP server setup
```json
{
"mcpServers": {

"url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,ceddl/dmarc-aggregate-drift-monitor"

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer ` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
