Dataset Validity Checker

Automatically checks, whether default datasets created by runs of an actor differ too much from the previously encountered ones, allowing it to warn you about web scraping problems caused by, e.g., a website layout changing, or other significant changes in the resulting data.
You can access the Dataset Validity Checker programmatically from your own Python applications by using the Apify API. You can also choose the language preference from below. To use the Apify API, you’ll need an Apify account and your API token, found in Integrations settings in Apify Console.
