# Site Migration Redirect QA (`checksmithcats/site-migration-redirect-qa`) Actor Check submitted old-to-new URL mappings before or after a site migration. Reports redirect status, final URL, chain length, loops, missing redirects, and target mismatches. - **URL**: https://apify.com/checksmithcats/site-migration-redirect-qa.md - **Developed by:** [Checksmith Cats](https://apify.com/checksmithcats) (community) - **Categories:** Developer tools, Automation - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing from $1.00 / 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.

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.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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 ## Site Migration Redirect QA Site Migration Redirect QA checks submitted old-to-new URL mappings and produces a migration evidence report. It accepts a public CSV with `old_url,new_url` columns or inline mapping pairs. The Actor follows redirect chains from each old URL, compares the final URL with the expected new URL, records chain length, query changes, HTTPS downgrade signals, final-page canonical observations, final 4xx/5xx responses, and low-confidence soft-404-like signals. Optional monitor mode compares current scanner-visible redirect signals with the latest saved compact baseline for the same mapping set. It reports observed changes such as final URL changes, newly broken mappings, canonical changes, and redirect-chain growth. It stores redacted URLs and compact signals only, not page bodies. This tool does not discover old URLs, crawl a full site, predict platform output, assess traffic impact, or guarantee migration outcomes. It records scanner-visible redirect mapping signals at run time. ### Billing Pay-per-event billing is based only on mapping rows where the old URL produced an HTTP response. Invalid CSV rows, invalid input, empty mappings, and DNS/connectivity failures are not charged. Recommended launch pricing: - `site-migration-report-generated`: USD 1.00 per generated redirect QA report - `site-migration-mapping-checked`: USD 0.03 per checked mapping See `listing.md` for the public support boundary and billing note. # Actor input Schema ## `mappingCsvUrl` (type: `string`): Public CSV URL with old_url and new_url columns. ## `mappings` (type: `array`): Optional old-to-new URL pairs to check directly. ## `maxUrls` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of mapping rows to inspect. ## `maxRedirects` (type: `integer`): Maximum redirect hops to follow for each old URL. ## `monitorMode` (type: `boolean`): Compare the current compact redirect signals with the latest saved baseline for this mapping set. ## `saveBaseline` (type: `boolean`): Save the current compact redirect snapshot for the next monitor run. ## `stateStoreName` (type: `string`): Key-value store name for monitor mode state. ## Actor input object example ```json { "maxUrls": 200, "maxRedirects": 5, "monitorMode": false, "saveBaseline": true, "stateStoreName": "site-migration-redirect-monitor-state" } ```` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description ## `report` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
