Crawls a website and finds broken links. Unlike other similar SEO analysis tools, the actor also reports broken URL #fragments. The results are stored in a JSON and HTML report.

To run the code examples, you need to have an Apify account. Replace <YOUR_API_TOKEN> in the code with your API token. For a more detailed explanation, please read about running Actors via the API in Apify Docs.

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with API token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "baseUrl": "https://www.example.com/",
    "maxPages": 1000,
    "notificationEmails": [
        "email@example.com"
    ],
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true
    }
};

(async () => {
    // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
    const run = await client.actor("jancurn/find-broken-links").call(input);

    // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
    console.log('Results from dataset');
    const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
    items.forEach((item) => {
        console.dir(item);
    });
})();
