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 ## SiteIntel Domain Intelligence API **DNS records, SSL certificates, and HTTP health checks for any domain — no external APIs required.** Instant domain intelligence using only built-in Node.js modules. Zero API keys, zero rate limits, zero dependencies. Built for SEO agencies, DevOps teams, and developers who need fast, reliable domain intelligence. ### Features - 🌐 **DNS Records** — A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS, CNAME, SOA lookups - 🔒 **SSL Certificate** — Expiry date, issuer, subject, days remaining, SAN - 🩺 **HTTP Health** — Status code, response time, redirect chain, security headers - 📊 **Domain Intel** — Combined DNS + SSL + HTTP report with summary - 🎯 **IP Resolve** — Hostname to IP (v4/v6) - 🔄 **Reverse DNS** — IP to hostname ### Actions | Action | Input | Description | |--------|-------|-------------| | `dnsRecords` | `domain`, `records` | DNS record lookup | | `sslCertificate` | `domain` | SSL certificate inspection | | `httpHealth` | `domain`, `followRedirects` | HTTP status and health check | | `domainIntel` | `domain`, `records`, `followRedirects` | Combined full report | | `ipResolve` | `domain` | Resolve hostname to IPs | | `reverseDns` | `ip` | Reverse lookup IP to hostname | ### Example Input ```json { "action": "domainIntel", "domain": "apify.com" } ```` ### Example Output ```json { "success": true, "action": "domainIntel", "timestamp": "2026-05-01T12:00:00Z", "data": { "domain": "apify.com", "dns": { "A": { "found": true, "records": ["3.165.239.90"], "count": 1 } }, "ssl": { "found": true, "subject": { "commonName": "*.apify.com" }, "issuer": { "commonName": "Amazon RSA 2048 M02" }, "daysRemaining": 121, "isExpired": false }, "http": { "found": true, "statusCode": 200, "isUp": true, "responseTimeMs": 20 }, "summary": { "dnsResolved": true, "hasSSL": true, "sslValid": true, "websiteUp": true, "gdprScore": { "value": 9, "max": 10, "rating": "strong" } } } } ``` ### Pricing - **Pay Per Event** - `apify-actor-start`: $0.0005 - `result`: $0.0005 - **~$1.00 per 1,000 requests** ### Notes - Uses only Node.js built-in modules (`dns`, `tls`, `https`). - No external API keys or rate limits. - Each run takes <100ms — extremely low CU cost. # Actor input Schema ## `action` (type: `string`): The intelligence endpoint to call. ## `domain` (type: `string`): Domain or hostname to analyze (e.g., example.com). Required for dnsRecords, sslCertificate, httpHealth, domainIntel, ipResolve. ## `ip` (type: `string`): IPv4 or IPv6 address for reverse DNS lookup. Required for reverseDns action. ## `records` (type: `string`): Which DNS record types to query, e.g. A,AAAA,MX,TXT,NS. Only used with dnsRecords action. ## `followRedirects` (type: `boolean`): Follow HTTP redirects and return the redirect chain. Only used with httpHealth. ## `timeout` (type: `integer`): Timeout for network requests in milliseconds. ## Actor input object example ```json { "action": "domainIntel", "domain": "apify.com", "ip": "104.18.24.100", "records": "A,AAAA,MX,TXT,NS", "followRedirects": true, "timeout": 10000 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "domain": "apify.com", "ip": "104.18.24.100", "records": "A,AAAA,MX,TXT,NS" }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("delightful_unicorn/siteintel-domain-api").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
