## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Google AMP Test, Crawling & Indexing Audit API

Instantly audit any URL or domain for **Google AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) compliance**, **AMPHTML discovery link identification**, **AMP custom components detection** (*amp-img, amp-analytics, amp-carousel, amp-video, amp-consent, amp-geo, amp-install-serviceworker, etc.*), **Crawling Allowed permission**, and **Indexing Allowed status** (*meta robots noindex & X-Robots-Tag verification*). Powered by direct keyless web inspection. **No API Key required**. 100% procedural User-Agent anti-blocking included.

***

### ✨ Key Features

- ⚡ **Google AMP Compliance Validation** — Detects top-level `⚡`/`amp` root attributes, `cdn.ampproject.org/v0.js` runtime script, and `<style amp-boilerplate>`.
- 🧩 **AMP Custom Components Extraction** — Parses and lists all active AMP custom components used on the page.
- 🔗 **Canonical & AMPHTML Link Discovery** — Identifies `<link rel="canonical">` and `<link rel="amphtml">` links.
- 🟢 **Crawl Allowed Audit** — Verifies `robots.txt` compliance, server reachability, and HTTP status codes (`crawl_allowed: "Yes" | "No"`).
- 🔍 **Indexing Allowed Status** — Detects `<meta name="robots" content="noindex">`, `<meta name="googlebot" content="noindex">`, and `X-Robots-Tag` HTTP response headers (`indexing_allowed: "Yes" | "No"`).
- 🛡️ **Procedural Anti-Blocking Randomization** — 100% dynamic User-Agent generation on every request (Chrome, Firefox, Safari across Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android).
- 🔐 **No API Keys or Auth Needed** — Unthrottled keyless execution without daily Google Search Console API quota exhaustion.

### 🆚 Why Google AMP Audit API vs. Standard Scraping

| Feature | Google AMP Audit API | Standard Web Scraping / Search Console |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **API Key Requirement** | ⚡ Keyless (Zero API Key needed) | ❌ Mandatory OAuth2 / Service Account required |
| **Crawl Allowed Audit** | ✅ Verified (`crawl_allowed: "Yes"`) | ❌ Requires manual `robots.txt` parsing |
| **Indexing Allowed Audit** | ✅ Verified (`indexing_allowed: "Yes"`) | ❌ Requires checking HTML meta & response headers |
| **AMP Components Extraction** | ✅ Full list of detected AMP tags | ❌ Raw HTML string inspection required |
| **Daily Quota Limits** | 🚀 Unthrottled Keyless Engine | 🐢 Strict Search Console 429 Rate Limits |
| **Anti-Blocking** | ✅ 100% Procedural UA Randomization | ❌ Single IP / Token Rate Tracking |

### 💡 How To Use — Simple Workflow

1. **Enter URL** → Enter target website URL or domain (e.g. `https://amp.dev/`).
2. **Run Audit** → Click **Start** to execute keyless AMP compliance, Crawling & Indexing validation.
3. **Export Results** → View detected AMP components, crawling status, and indexing permissions, then export to JSON/CSV.

### 🙋 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

**Q: Do I need a Google Cloud account, Search Console auth, or API key?**\
A: No! The backend transparently executes keyless web inspection and AMP validation server-side without requiring any API key or Google credentials.

**Q: How does it determine if Indexing is allowed (`indexing_allowed`)?**\
A: It automatically inspects both HTML `<meta name="robots">` / `<meta name="googlebot">` tags and `X-Robots-Tag` HTTP response headers for `noindex` directives.

**Q: What AMP specification rules are validated?**\
A: Top-level `⚡`/`amp` root attributes, mandatory runtime script (`cdn.ampproject.org/v0.js`), boilerplate CSS (`<style amp-boilerplate>`), canonical link presence, and custom AMP tags (`<amp-img>`, `<amp-analytics>`, etc.).

***

### 🎯 Use Cases

- 📈 **AMP Mobile Audit Automation** — Batch verify AMP compliance, AMPHTML discovery links, and indexing permissions across client websites.
- 🔍 **Noindex & Crawlability Auditing** — Ensure mobile AMP pages are not accidentally blocked by `noindex` meta tags or `X-Robots-Tag` headers.
- 📊 **Lead Qualification & Discovery** — Audit potential client domains for AMP validation errors or missing canonical links.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "url": "https://amp.dev/"
}' |
apify call dev00/google-amp-checker --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,dev00/google-amp-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).
