Public Status Component Inventory Agent

Turn public vendor status pages into compact service-component inventories for AI agents, vendor review, dependency mapping, support triage, and sales or success workflows.

The Actor fetches public HTTP/HTTPS status pages with lightweight requests and returns one source-linked inventory record per input page:

• status-page provider hints such as Statuspage, Better Stack, Instatus, or Status.io when visible
• overall status text
• component names and current component states
• component groups and status distribution
• non-operational component counts
• focus-component matches
• evidence snippets and source URLs
• stable componentInventoryHash and changeStatus
• confidence, completeness, missing fields, risk labels, diagnostics, and a recommended next action

Good Fits

• Build a public vendor dependency inventory from status pages.
• Ask whether a vendor exposes API, dashboard, region, webhook, or product component states publicly.
• Compare current component inventory with a previous record and avoid paying for unchanged results.
• Feed AI agents a compact component map before running deeper incident or vendor-risk workflows.

Not A Fit

• This is not an uptime monitor, SLA verifier, incident-detail scraper, vulnerability scanner, private trust-portal downloader, or legal compliance certification.
• It does not log in, use cookies, bypass paywalls, render JavaScript, submit forms, call private status APIs, probe uptime, or verify official severity.
• For active incident details, use a status/incident signal workflow instead.

Input

{
  "statusPageUrls": ["https://status.example.com/"],
  "focusComponents": ["API", "Webhooks"],
  "previousInventoryRecords": [],
  "maxComponents": 50,
  "requestTimeoutSecs": 20
}

statusPageUrls must be public HTTP/HTTPS status pages. URLs containing credentials, path parameters, query parameters, fragments, localhost, private-network hosts, .local names, or token-like account paths are rejected.

Output

{
  "status": "ok",
  "inputUrl": "https://status.example.com",

  "siteOriginUrl": "https://status.example.com",

    }
  ],
  "components": [

}

Pricing Behavior

The intended Apify pricing model is pay-per-event:

• apify-actor-start: small run-start event
• useful-status-component-inventory-result: charged only for useful public component inventory records

The useful event is not charged for failed fetches, private-network inputs, query-token inputs, unsupported URLs, incident-only pages, generic pages with too few components, focus-component misses, duplicate URLs, or unchanged records.

Do not configure apify-default-dataset-item for this Actor.

Safety

• Public HTTP/HTTPS pages only.
• Same-site redirects only.
• HTML/text response size is capped at 3 MB, including gzip decompression.
• Credentials, query strings, fragments, path params, sensitive account paths, token-like path segments, localhost, private IPs, non-global IPs, and .local hosts are rejected or redacted.
• Error messages are generic and do not persist exception details.
