## Pricing

from $50.00 / 1,000 documentation checks

This Actor is paid per event and usage. You are charged both the fixed price for specific events and for Apify platform usage.

## What's an Apify Actor?

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/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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

## Documentation Deprecation Monitor

Monitor explicit documentation URLs and report evidence-backed endpoint, authentication, migration, deprecation, sunset, removal, version, and policy changes.

### What this does not do

- No generic site crawl or universal breaking-change detection.
- No promise that all breaking changes are documented.
- No code migration, patch generation, or LLM summary.
- No login bypass or private-doc monitoring without user-authorized credentials.

### Sources and authorization

Every HTML, Markdown, or OpenAPI document is an explicit user URL passing the SSRF gate. Version 1 uses bounded HTTP only, follows at most five revalidated redirects, accepts only optional Authorization/Accept headers, and performs no recursive discovery.

### Input

Submit 1-100 documents with `url`, `type`, and optional `priorUrl`, HTML selectors, or secret headers. A `baselineStoreId` enables scheduled monitoring.

```json
{"documents":[{"url":"https://flintglade-tools.github.io/apify-fixtures/docs/current.html","type":"html","priorUrl":"https://flintglade-tools.github.io/apify-fixtures/docs/prior.html"}],"taxonomy":["endpoint","auth","migration","deprecation","sunset","removal"],"concurrency":1}
````

### Output

Each row contains baseline state, canonical hashes, category deltas, exact before/after excerpts and locators, OpenAPI operation changes, severity, source metadata, and diff artifacts. The final run summary is uncharged.

### Pricing

`documentation-check` costs **$0.05 per terminal document check**. Baseline creation, unchanged/changed reports, and definitive 404/410 results are charged. Blocked/auth/rate/transient/parse failures and missing requested priors are uncharged. Maximum event cost is admitted checks multiplied by $0.05, plus platform usage.

### State and partial failures

Explicit `priorUrl` comparisons are stateless. Persistent baselines are journaled in the selected KVS and committed only after Apify confirms the paid event. A 304 with a valid baseline is a successful unchanged check; uncharged failures never advance state. Duplicate inputs receive explicit uncharged rows.

### Resources and data handling

Limits are 256 MB minimum, 1024 MB default, 2048 MB maximum, 600 seconds, 2 MB per response, eight concurrent requests, and 100 documents. Secret header values are never echoed. Delete the run storages and chosen baseline KVS records to remove data.

### Rights, attribution, and limitations

Users must be authorized to fetch submitted documentation. The controlled fixture is Flintglade-authored. Historical changelog text is labeled and cannot create a high-severity alert by itself. Provider documentation can be incomplete, and unchanged text cannot prove an API is unchanged.

# 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 = {
    "documents": [
        {
            "url": "https://flintglade-tools.github.io/apify-fixtures/docs/current.html",
            "type": "html",
            "priorUrl": "https://flintglade-tools.github.io/apify-fixtures/docs/prior.html"
        }
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("flintglade/documentation-deprecation-monitor").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);
});

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
