## Pricing

from $0.50 / report generated

This Actor is paid per event and usage. You are charged both the fixed price for specific events and for Apify platform usage.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## Scraped Dataset QA Preflight

Scraped Dataset QA Preflight checks sampled scraper output before delivery or downstream import. It focuses on source-specific, machine-detectable signals: missing fields, duplicate key rows, format-looking problems, mixed value types, sensitive-looking pattern counts, and lightweight schema contract mismatches.

It can read a dataset ID, resolve an Actor run ID to its default dataset, or analyze submitted JSON/CSV data. API tokens and raw row values are not stored in the report or Evidence Pack.

### Presets

- `googleMaps`: name, address, phone, website, place URL, category, and hours signals
- `leadList`: email, company, person, phone, domain, and source URL signals
- `socialProfile`: username, profile URL, follower/post counts, bio, and external URL signals
- `generic`: field profile, duplicates, formats, sensitive-pattern preview, and optional contract checks

### Boundaries

This is a sampled dataset-output preflight. It does not independently check source pages, confirm complete crawl coverage, repair scraper output, judge legal suitability, validate live email inboxes, or predict downstream outcomes.

### Billing

Recommended launch pricing:

- `scraped-dataset-qa-report-generated`: USD 0.50 per generated QA report
- `scraped-dataset-row-sampled`: USD 0.01 per sampled row

Invalid input and dataset load/inspect failures are not charged.

### Related check

If the same scraper runs repeatedly, use [Dataset Drift Monitor](https://apify.com/checksmithcats/dataset-drift-monitor?utm_source=apify&utm_medium=actor_referral&utm_campaign=dataset_qa_to_drift) to compare the current aggregate dataset shape with its latest compact baseline.

### Local Example

```bash
PYTHONPATH=src python -m scraped_dataset_qa_preflight.cli examples/sample-input.json --json report.json --md report.md
````

# Actor input Schema

## `datasetId` (type: `string`):

Dataset ID to read via the Apify API.

## `runId` (type: `string`):

Actor run ID. The preflight resolves its default dataset ID.

## `apiToken` (type: `string`):

Optional token for private datasets or runs. Sent in the Authorization header only and not stored in reports.

## `items` (type: `array`):

Optional inline array of item objects. Use this when not reading from Apify API.

## `dataJson` (type: `string`):

Optional JSON array, or an object with an items array.

## `csvText` (type: `string`):

Optional CSV with a header row. Values are summarized as aggregate QA signals.

## `preset` (type: `string`):

Source-specific field expectations and default duplicate keys.

## `keyFields` (type: `array`):

Optional fields used to count duplicate row groups. Preset defaults are used when empty.

## `schemaContractJson` (type: `string`):

Optional lightweight JSON Schema object. The preflight checks required fields and simple property types.

## `sampleLimit` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of rows to sample from the current dataset. Keep the default small for scheduled or exploratory runs.

## `missingRateWarning` (type: `number`):

Warn when an observed field is empty or missing in at least this share of sampled rows.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "preset": "generic",
  "sampleLimit": 200,
  "missingRateWarning": 0.3
}
```

# 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 '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("checksmithcats/scraped-dataset-qa-preflight").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("checksmithcats/scraped-dataset-qa-preflight").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)
