# GSA Site Scanning Scraper — US Federal Website Inventory (`compute-edge/gsa-site-scanning-scraper`) Actor Extract the GSA Site Scanning inventory of U.S. federal government websites — tech stack, security headers, HTTPS/HSTS posture, USWDS design-system usage, DAP analytics presence, and more. Filter by agency, base domain, or status code. - **URL**: https://apify.com/compute-edge/gsa-site-scanning-scraper.md - **Developed by:** [Compute Edge](https://apify.com/compute-edge) (community) - **Categories:** Lead generation - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing from $3.00 / 1,000 results This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

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 ## GSA Site Scanning Scraper Extract the **GSA Site Scanning** inventory of U.S. federal government websites. This is the authoritative GSA-maintained dataset used to track HTTPS/HSTS adoption, USWDS (U.S. Web Design System) usage, DAP analytics deployment, and technology-stack signals across `.gov` properties. ### Why it matters - **GovTech vendors** — identify federal agencies still on legacy CMSes - **Compliance auditors** — measure 21st Century IDEA / OMB M-22-09 adoption - **Security researchers** — flag federal subdomains with weak HTTPS posture - **Open-source advocates** — quantify USWDS rollout ### Output fields | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `url` / `final_url` | Site URL | | `base_domain` | Registrable domain | | `agency` / `bureau` | Owning agency | | `live` | Whether the site responds | | `status_code` | HTTP status | | `https`, `hsts`, `hsts_max_age` | Transport security signals | | `dap_detected`, `dap_parameters` | Digital Analytics Program presence | | `uswds_semantic_version` | USWDS design-system version | | `cms` | Detected CMS (WordPress, Drupal, ...) | | `analytics_used` | Analytics vendors detected | | `javascript_libraries` | JS libraries fingerprinted | | `third_party_service_domains` | External services loaded | ### Input ```json { "apiKey": "DEMO_KEY", "baseDomain": "nasa.gov", "liveOnly": true, "maxResults": 500 } ```` `DEMO_KEY` works but is rate-limited to 30 requests/hour. For real use, get a free key at https://api.data.gov/signup/. ### Pricing Pay-per-result at **$0.003/record**. Apify compute is billed separately. ### Legal The GSA Site Scanning dataset is U.S. federal public-domain data published openly under api.data.gov. This Actor only fetches publicly-available data — no authentication is bypassed. # Actor input Schema ## `apiKey` (type: `string`): Your api.data.gov API key. Defaults to DEMO\_KEY (30 req/hr per IP). Sign up free at https://api.data.gov/signup/. ## `baseDomain` (type: `string`): Filter by base domain (e.g. 'nasa.gov', 'irs.gov'). Leave empty for all. ## `liveOnly` (type: `boolean`): If enabled, only include sites that are currently live. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of website records to return. ## Actor input object example ```json { "apiKey": "DEMO_KEY", "baseDomain": "", "liveOnly": true, "maxResults": 200 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `dataset` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("compute-edge/gsa-site-scanning-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
