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 ## Website SEO & Metadata Checker — Title, Meta, OpenGraph, JSON-LD, robots **Free.** Audit the SEO and metadata of any URL (or a list of them) and get a clean, structured report back — the things developers, SEO folks and AI builders check constantly. No API key, no sign-up. Give it a URL, get back: title and length, meta description and length, canonical, meta-robots, language, viewport, charset, favicon, **all OpenGraph and Twitter-card tags**, the **JSON-LD structured-data types** on the page, the **H1(s) and heading outline**, **hreflang** alternates, whether the URL is allowed by `robots.txt`, whether a sitemap is declared, and **link/image checks** (internal vs external links, images missing `alt`). ### What you get (per URL) - **Core:** `title`, `titleLength`, `description`, `descriptionLength`, `canonicalUrl`, `metaRobots`, `lang`, `viewport`, `charset`, `favicon` - **Social:** `openGraph` (all `og:*`), `twitter` (all `twitter:*`) - **Structured data:** `jsonLdTypes` (e.g. `Article`, `Product`, `FAQPage`, `BreadcrumbList`) - **Headings:** `h1` (array), `headingOutline` (H1–H3) - **i18n / crawl:** `hreflang`, `robotsAllowed`, `sitemapDeclared` - **Checks (factual booleans, not an invented "score"):** `checks.titlePresent`, `titleLengthOk`, `descriptionPresent`, `descriptionLengthOk`, `singleH1`, `canonicalPresent`, `openGraphPresent`, `viewportPresent`, `langPresent` - **Tallies:** `checks.internalLinks`, `externalLinks`, `imageCount`, `imagesMissingAlt` - `url`, `finalUrl`, `httpStatus`, `fetchedAt` Anything a page doesn't expose comes back `null`/empty — never guessed. ### How to use it ```json { "startUrls": ["https://example.com/", "https://example.com/pricing"], "mode": "list" } ```` That's it — no key, no quota. It fetches each page politely (respects `robots.txt`, identifies itself, one page at a time) and returns one audit row per URL as JSON, CSV or Excel. ### Why it's useful - **Pre-launch / pre-publish checks:** confirm titles, descriptions, canonical, OpenGraph and structured data are right before you ship a page. - **Auditing at scale:** drop in a list of URLs and get a tidy table of every page's SEO/meta state. - **AI / agent pipelines:** a fast, structured read of a page's metadata and structured-data types. ### Need the page *content* too? This actor returns a page's **metadata + SEO signals**. If you need the **full page content as clean, LLM-ready Markdown** (for RAG, summarization, or datasets), use the companion actor: **[dataquarry/website-to-markdown](https://apify.com/dataquarry/website-to-markdown)**. For place & business data (supermarkets, EV chargers, hotels, fuel, healthcare, attractions, POIs), see the **[dataquarry OSM scrapers](https://apify.com/dataquarry)**. ### Clean & honest Public pages only; respects `robots.txt`; sends a descriptive User-Agent; no logins or paywalls; no PII. Values are real or `null` — the checks are plain facts (present/absent, within length), never a made-up grade. ### FAQ **Do I need an API key?** No — give it a URL and run it. It's free. **Can it check many pages at once?** Yes — pass a list of URLs in `list` mode. **Does it render JavaScript?** It reads the served HTML (server-rendered metadata). Most SEO tags live there. # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Page URLs to audit. ## `mode` (type: `string`): single = first URL only; list = every URL given. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of pages to audit. ## `respectRobotsTxt` (type: `boolean`): Skip URLs disallowed by the site's robots.txt for our user-agent. ## `requestDelayMs` (type: `integer`): Optional politeness delay between pages, in milliseconds (pages are fetched one at a time). ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrls": [ "https://www.wikipedia.org/" ], "mode": "list", "maxResults": 100, "respectRobotsTxt": true, "requestDelayMs": 0 } ``` # 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 = { "startUrls": [ "https://www.wikipedia.org/" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("dataquarry/website-seo-metadata-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); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
