## 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

## Structured Data Bulk QA

Check JSON-LD across multiple public URLs for missing fields, invalid formats, absent schema types, and conflicting markup. Submit a URL list, sitemap, or public CSV and export one consolidated QA report.

Supported types include Product, Article, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList, Recipe, VideoObject, MerchantReturnPolicy, and OfferShippingDetails.

This Actor does not reproduce Google's Rich Results Test and does not guarantee indexing, eligibility, ranking, or rich-result display.

### What it checks

- Input from `urls`, `sitemapUrl`, or public `csvUrl`
- Optional `targetTypes`: `Product`, `Article`, `FAQPage`, `BreadcrumbList`, `Recipe`, `VideoObject`, `MerchantReturnPolicy`, `OfferShippingDetails`
- Default type mode: check every supported type detected on each reachable page
- Optional monitor mode for repeated runs: type disappearance, newly missing required fields, and new warning/critical structured-data signals
- Required and recommended property signals from the documented Google structured-data pages where current docs exist
- FAQPage is caveated: Google removed FAQ rich result documentation in June 2026, so FAQPage output is a mechanical schema-shape signal, not current Google rich-result eligibility
- MerchantReturnPolicy and OfferShippingDetails checks are type/property-presence diagnostics only; they do not read, judge, or certify policy terms, rates, delivery promises, or compliance
- Format signals such as ISO-like dates, ISO 4217 currency codes, numeric prices, supported availability values, HTTP image/author/item URLs, and breadcrumb positions
- `sd.type_absent` when an explicitly selected type is not found
- `sd.multiple_conflicting` when duplicate same-type nodes disagree on key values

### Findings

Each finding includes:

- `severity`
- `confidence`
- `evidence`
- `caveat`
- source URL with query strings redacted
- Google documentation references where applicable

Primary finding IDs include:

- `sd.missing_required.<type>.<field>`
- `sd.missing_recommended.<type>.<field>`
- `sd.invalid_format.<field>`
- `sd.type_absent`
- `sd.multiple_conflicting`
- `sd.type_disappeared`
- `sd.required_now_missing`
- `sd.new_error_appeared`

### Boundaries

This is an informational diagnostic tool for public pages. It does not certify structured data, reproduce Google validation, promise rich-result display, promise eligibility, improve rankings, promise indexing, or represent Google Search Console.

The scanner inspects static HTML JSON-LD. It does not render JavaScript and does not evaluate private, login-gated, CAPTCHA-gated, or non-public pages.

Monitor mode compares compact scanner-visible signals against the latest saved baseline. It does not store page bodies or JSON-LD bodies, and it excludes JobPosting drift because that is handled by the dedicated JobPosting Expiry Monitor.

### Billing note

Pay-per-event billing is based on reachable URLs only. Unreachable pages are reported as findings, but they are not counted as checked URLs.

Public page URLs to check.
## `sitemapUrl` (type: `string`):

Optional public sitemap URL containing pages to sample.
## `csvUrl` (type: `string`):

Optional public CSV URL with a URL column such as url, pageUrl, link, href, or loc.
## `targetTypes` (type: `array`):

Optional subset to check. Supported values: Product, Article, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList, Recipe, VideoObject, MerchantReturnPolicy, OfferShippingDetails. Leave empty to check all supported types detected on each page.
