# Bulk URL Status Checker - HTTP Status, Redirects & Timing (`cuantic_data/bulk-url-status-checker`) Actor

Checks HTTP status codes, full redirect chains and response time for a list of URLs in one run. Finds broken links (4xx/5xx), redirect loops and slow endpoints across hundreds of URLs at once.

## 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

## Bulk URL Status Checker — HTTP Status, Redirects & Timing

Check hundreds of URLs in one run: status codes, full redirect chains, and response time. Find 4xx/5xx, long 301/302 chains, and slow endpoints.

**Store:** [cuantic\_data/bulk-url-status-checker](https://apify.com/cuantic_data/bulk-url-status-checker)

### What it does

- Bulk broken-link detection (4xx/5xx)
- Full redirect chain (not only final URL)
- Per-URL response time
- Retries with `GET` when `HEAD` returns 405/501

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `urls` | string\[] | Yes | Up to **2000** `http(s)` URLs per run |

```json
{ "urls": ["https://example.com", "https://example.com/old"] }
```

### Output (one dataset item per URL)

```json
{
  "url": "https://example.com/old",
  "finalUrl": "https://example.com/new",
  "status": 200,
  "ok": true,
  "redirectChain": [{ "url": "https://example.com/old", "status": 301, "location": "https://example.com/new" }],
  "redirectCount": 1,
  "responseTimeMs": 184
}
```

Network failures return `ok: false` + `error` instead of crashing the run.

### Pricing

Pay per event: **USD 0.002 per URL checked** (**$2.00 / 1 000 URLs**). Rows with errors still count (they are useful results).

### Keywords

`bulk URL checker`, `broken link checker`, `HTTP status`, `redirect chain`, `301 302`, `technical SEO`, `migration QA`, `response time`, `HEAD GET`

### Limits

- Max 2000 URLs / run.
- Does not evade bot blocks (403 from WAF is reported honestly).
- Not a crawler — only checks the URLs you pass (pair with Sitemap URL Extractor).

# Actor input Schema

## `urls` (type: `array`):

Array of http(s) URLs. Maximum 2000 per run.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "urls": [
    "https://apify.com"
  ]
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `results` (type: `string`):

One row per URL from the input, with final status, redirect chain and response time.

## `runSummary` (type: `string`):

Totals: URLs checked, how many are OK, how many are broken, how many had redirects.

# 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 = {
    "urls": [
        "https://apify.com"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("cuantic_data/bulk-url-status-checker").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 = { "urls": ["https://apify.com"] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("cuantic_data/bulk-url-status-checker").call(run_input=run_input)

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

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "urls": [
    "https://apify.com"
  ]
}' |
apify call cuantic_data/bulk-url-status-checker --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,cuantic_data/bulk-url-status-checker"
        }
    }
}
```

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 <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
