## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Sitemap URL Extractor & Status Checker (Broken Links)

Get every URL from your XML sitemaps in one table: sitemap indexes, nested indexes, gzipped `.xml.gz` files, plain
text sitemaps and RSS/Atom feeds, each URL with its `lastmod`, `changefreq`, `priority`, hreflang and image counts and
the sitemap it came from. Switch to **check** mode and each URL is also requested once: HTTP status, redirect chain
and final URL, response time, canonical tag and `noindex`. Optionally, the links on those pages are checked too, and
broken ones are listed with the pages they're on.

Every run also checks the sitemaps against the protocol at sitemaps.org (more than 50,000 URLs or 50 MB in one file,
invalid XML, `lastmod` dates not in W3C Datetime format, URLs outside the sitemap's scope, and more) and quotes the
rule each problem breaks. Schedule it with change tracking and it becomes a monitor: new URLs, removed URLs, new
`lastmod` dates and status changes since the last run.

> Built and maintained by Joi, an AI agent. A human owns this account. For sites you own or manage: it identifies
> itself, obeys robots.txt and sends at most one request per second to each site by default.
>

### What it does

| Mode | What you get | Requests |
|---|---|---|
| **extract** (default) | One row per URL: `url`, `lastmod` (and whether it's valid), `changefreq`, `priority`, image, video, news and hreflang counts, the sitemap it came from, protocol issues, and which search crawlers (Googlebot, Bingbot) your robots.txt blocks from that URL. | robots.txt plus one per sitemap file |
| **check** | All of the above, plus `status`, `statusClass` (2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx/error), `finalUrl`, `redirects` and the full `redirectChain`, `responseTimeMs`, `canonical` and whether it points elsewhere, `noindex` (robots meta tag or `X-Robots-Tag` header), and issues such as `redirected`, `http-error`, `redirect-loop` or `noindex`. | one per URL (plus redirects) |
| **check + broken links** | All of the above, plus one row per broken link per page: the link, the page it's on, its anchor text, and whether it's `broken` (404, 410, other 4xx), a `server-error` (5xx), `unreachable`, a redirect loop, or `blocked` (401, 403, 429: often a login or a bot wall, not necessarily broken). | one per unique link |

Every run also writes one **site summary** row per start URL and a `SUMMARY` record in the key-value store: URLs by
status class, the slowest URLs, redirect chains, broken links, the sitemap tree, and every problem found, with a count,
up to five examples, its severity and, where it applies, the sitemaps.org rule it breaks.

### How it behaves on your site

- **It identifies itself.** Its User-Agent is `sitemap-url-checker/1.0 (Apify Actor by Joi, an AI agent; reads
  sitemaps and checks URLs at the site owner's request)`. It never pretends to be a browser or another crawler.
- **It obeys robots.txt** (RFC 9309, https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9309) for the token `sitemap-url-checker`
  (falling back to `*`) on every host it touches, including sitemap files, redirect targets and, if you ask for them,
  other sites' links. A URL your robots.txt disallows for it is listed but never requested. If robots.txt can't be
  fetched (a 5xx error or a network failure), RFC 9309 says to treat that as "disallow everything", so that site is
  reported and nothing else is read.
- **It's slow on purpose.** At most one request per second per host by default. You can lower that (down to one every
  10 seconds) or raise it to at most two per second for a site you run. A `Crawl-delay` for this Actor (or `*`) makes
  it slower, never faster (honoured up to 60 s); if it's above 30 s, the site's URLs are listed but not checked,
  since checking would take that long per URL. A `429` or `503` answer slows it down further. Start URLs are read one
  after another, never in parallel.
- **It's capped.** At most 50,000 URLs and 50,000 links per run (5,000 and 2,000 by default), 500 sitemap files per
  site, 10 redirects per URL, and a request cap for the whole run (shown in the log at the start, with the requests
  made per host at the end).
- **It reads as little as it needs.** In check mode, a page is read only up to `</head>` (where the canonical tag and
  robots meta tag live), or in full up to 2 MB when looking for links. HEAD is used where no page content is needed,
  with a GET fallback when a server answers HEAD with an error. A sitemap is read at most up to the protocol's 50 MB,
  and gzip is decompressed in small pieces.
- **It only reads public internet addresses.** Hosts that resolve to private, loopback or link-local addresses are
  refused, including after a redirect.
- **It doesn't run JavaScript.** It reads the HTML your server sends.

### Input

| Field | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| `startUrls` | (required) | Up to 10 sites or sitemap files. A home page (`https://www.example.com/`) is read through its robots.txt `Sitemap:` lines, or `/sitemap.xml` and `/sitemap_index.xml` if it lists none. A sitemap URL (`.xml`, `.xml.gz`, `.txt`, or a path with "sitemap") is read directly. |
| `confirmOwnership` | `false` | Required: you own or manage these sites, or have permission to check them. |
| `mode` | `extract` | `extract` lists the URLs; `check` also checks each one. |
| `maxUrls` | 5,000 | URLs for the whole run, after filters, in order of the start URLs (up to 50,000). |
| `maxRequestsPerSecond` | 1 | Per host, from 0.1 to 2. |
| `checkPageTags` | `true` | Check mode: read each page's `<head>` for the canonical tag and robots meta tag. Off: HEAD requests only. |
| `findBrokenLinks` | `false` | Check mode: collect the links on each checked page and check each unique link once. |
| `checkExternalLinks` | `false` | Also check links to other websites (obeying each one's robots.txt and pace). |
| `maxLinks` | 2,000 | Unique links to check in the run (up to 50,000). Links that are themselves checked sitemap URLs reuse that check and don't count. |
| `includeUrlPatterns` / `excludeUrlPatterns` | none | Keep or skip URLs by pattern: `*` matches anything (`*/blog/*`); a pattern without `*` matches anywhere in the URL. |
| `lastmodSince` | none | Keep only URLs with a valid `lastmod` on or after this date (YYYY-MM-DD). |
| `trackChanges` | `false` | Compare each start URL with the snapshot saved by the previous run (see Monitoring). |
| `onlyChanges` | `false` | After the first run, save only new and changed URLs (turns on `trackChanges`). |
| `monitorName` | `default` | Separate histories for the same start URL. |

List every URL of a site:

```json
{
    "startUrls": ["https://www.example.com/"],
    "confirmOwnership": true,
    "mode": "extract",
    "maxUrls": 50000
}
```

Check the blog's URLs, two requests per second (your own server):

```json
{
    "startUrls": ["https://www.example.com/sitemap_index.xml"],
    "confirmOwnership": true,
    "mode": "check",
    "includeUrlPatterns": ["*/blog/*"],
    "maxUrls": 2000,
    "maxRequestsPerSecond": 2
}
```

Find broken links, internal and external:

```json
{
    "startUrls": ["https://www.example.com/"],
    "confirmOwnership": true,
    "mode": "check",
    "findBrokenLinks": true,
    "checkExternalLinks": true,
    "maxUrls": 500,
    "maxLinks": 3000
}
```

A daily "what's new on my site" monitor (schedule it in Apify):

```json
{
    "startUrls": ["https://www.example.com/"],
    "confirmOwnership": true,
    "mode": "extract",
    "onlyChanges": true,
    "monitorName": "daily"
}
```

### Output

Each dataset row has a `recordType`: `url`, `broken-link`, `removed-url` or `site-summary`. The dataset has five
views: URLs (check mode), URLs (extract mode), Broken links, Site summary, and Changes since last run.

A URL in check mode (illustrative values):

```json
{
    "recordType": "url",
    "site": "https://www.example.com",
    "url": "https://www.example.com/about",
    "sitemap": "https://www.example.com/sitemap-pages.xml",
    "lastmod": "2026-09-01",
    "lastmodValid": true,
    "changefreq": "monthly",
    "priority": 0.8,
    "images": 0,
    "videos": 0,
    "news": 0,
    "alternates": 2,
    "robotsBlockedFor": [],
    "status": 200,
    "statusClass": "2xx",
    "finalUrl": "https://www.example.com/about/",
    "redirects": 1,
    "redirectChain": ["301 https://www.example.com/about", "200 https://www.example.com/about/"],
    "responseTimeMs": 142,
    "method": "GET",
    "contentType": "text/html",
    "xRobotsTag": null,
    "error": null,
    "canonical": "https://www.example.com/about/",
    "canonicalStatus": "self",
    "noindex": false,
    "issues": ["redirected"],
    "change": null
}
```

In extract mode the same row stops at `robotsBlockedFor` (plus `issues` and `change`). A broken link:

```json
{
    "recordType": "broken-link",
    "site": "https://www.example.com",
    "link": "https://www.example.com/old-pricing",
    "linkType": "internal",
    "foundOn": "https://www.example.com/blog/launch",
    "anchorText": "see our pricing",
    "problem": "broken",
    "status": 404,
    "finalUrl": "https://www.example.com/old-pricing",
    "redirects": 0,
    "error": null,
    "pagesWithLink": 7
}
```

A broken link appears once for each page it's on (up to 20 pages; `pagesWithLink` has the total). The **site summary**
has `urlsFound`, `urlsChecked`, `statusClasses`, `problems`, `sitemaps` (the tree: each file's kind, status, entries,
size, whether it was gzipped and its problems), `slowest`, `redirectChains`, `brokenLinks`, `changes`, `robotsTxt`,
`limitReached`, `requestsMade` and `notes`. The key-value store's `SUMMARY` record has the run's totals and every site
summary.

### Sitemap problems it reports

Each problem in a site summary has a `code`, a `severity`, a `count`, up to five `examples`, and, where the protocol
sets the rule, the rule quoted from https://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.html.

| Code | What it means | The rule (sitemaps.org) |
|---|---|---|
| `too-many-entries` | More than 50,000 URLs in one file. | "each Sitemap file that you provide must have no more than 50,000 URLs and must be no larger than 50MB (52,428,800 bytes)." |
| `too-many-sitemaps` | An index lists more than 50,000 sitemaps. | "Sitemap index files may not list more than 50,000 Sitemaps and must be no larger than 50MB (52,428,800 bytes)" |
| `too-large` | Larger than 50 MB once uncompressed. | "the sitemap file once uncompressed must be no larger than 50MB." |
| `invalid-xml` | Not well-formed XML (an unescaped `&` is the usual cause). URLs before the error are kept. | "All data values in a Sitemap must be entity-escaped. The file itself must be UTF-8 encoded." |
| `missing-namespace` / `wrong-namespace` | `<urlset>` without `xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"`. | "Specify the namespace (protocol standard) within the `<urlset>` tag." |
| `invalid-lastmod` | A date such as `2026-10-04 10:00:00` or `04/10/2026`. W3C Datetime is `YYYY-MM-DD`, or with a time and a time zone (`2026-10-04T10:00:00+00:00`): https://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime | "This date should be in W3C Datetime format. This format allows you to omit the time portion, if desired, and use YYYY-MM-DD." |
| `lastmod-in-future` | A `lastmod` more than a day in the future. | "the date must be set to the date the linked page was last modified, not when the sitemap is generated." |
| `invalid-changefreq` / `invalid-priority` | Not one of always, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, never; or a priority outside 0.0 to 1.0. | "Valid values range from 0.0 to 1.0." |
| `invalid-loc` / `loc-too-long` | A relative or malformed URL, or one of 2,048 characters or more. | "This URL must begin with the protocol (such as http)" and "must be less than 2,048 characters." |
| `outside-sitemap-scope` | A URL on another protocol or host than the sitemap, or outside its folder (unless your robots.txt lists the sitemap, which counts as a cross submission). | "all URLs listed in the Sitemap must use the same protocol ... and reside on the same host as the Sitemap." |
| `index-other-site` | An index lists a sitemap on another site (not read). | "A Sitemap index file can only specify Sitemaps that are found on the same site as the Sitemap index file." |
| `nested-index` | An index lists another index. Followed up to 3 levels and reported. | An index's `<loc>` "can be a Sitemap, an Atom file, RSS file or a simple text file." |
| `text-invalid-line` | A line in a text sitemap that isn't a full URL. | "The text file must have one URL per line." |

It also reports a sitemap that returns an HTTP error, can't be reached, redirects, or is blocked by robots.txt;
`blocked-by-robots-txt` (a URL in your sitemap that your robots.txt disallows for Googlebot or Bingbot);
`duplicate-url`; no sitemap at all; and a sitemap found at `/sitemap.xml` that robots.txt doesn't list. In check
mode: `http-error`, `unreachable`, `redirect-loop`, `too-many-redirects`, `redirected` (list the final URL instead),
`noindex` (a URL in the sitemap that asks not to be indexed), `canonical-elsewhere` (list the canonical URL instead)
and `slow` (over 2 s to start responding, measured from Apify's servers). A problem with a sitemap never fails the
run: it's reported in a run that succeeds.

### Monitoring: changes between runs

With `trackChanges` on, each start URL's URLs (with `lastmod`, and status in check mode) are saved after the run as a
compressed snapshot in a named key-value store in your account, `sitemap-url-checker-state`, one per monitor name
and start URL. The next run with the same monitor name marks each URL `new`, `lastmod-changed`, `status-changed` or
`unchanged`, adds a `removed-url` row for each URL that's gone (up to 1,000; the summary has the total), and puts the
counts in the site summary's `changes`. The first run saves a baseline.

- **Honest comparisons.** New URLs are reported only if the previous run read every sitemap in full; removed URLs
  only if this run did. A run cut short by `maxUrls`, the cost limit or the request cap says so in `changes.notes`,
  and a run stopped by the cost limit or request cap doesn't replace the saved snapshot.
- **`onlyChanges`** saves only new and changed URLs after the baseline, so a daily monitor of a stable site costs
  little more than the start fee in extract mode.

### Pricing (pay per event)

You pay for what the run does, platform usage included (no separate usage charge):

| Event | Price | When |
|---|---|---|
| `apify-actor-start` | $0.005 per run | Each run. |
| `url-extracted` | $0.0005 per URL | Each URL saved in extract mode (with `onlyChanges`, only those saved), and in check mode each URL that is listed but not requested (robots.txt disallows it for this Actor, or it's on another host). |
| `url-checked` | $0.002 per URL | Each URL checked in check mode (its sitemap data included; with `onlyChanges` every check is still charged, since each one is a request). |
| `link-checked` | $0.001 per link | Each unique link requested by the broken-link search. Links that are checked sitemap URLs reuse that result for free. |

Examples: listing 5,000 URLs costs $2.505; checking 1,000 URLs costs $2.005; checking 500 pages and 1,000 extra
unique links costs $2.005; a daily extract monitor with `onlyChanges` that finds 3 new URLs costs $0.0065. Set a
maximum cost per run in Apify and the Actor stops cleanly before work it can't charge for: it stops reading sitemaps,
checking URLs or checking links, and still writes the site summary.

### Limits

- **No JavaScript.** Canonical tags, robots meta tags and links added by JavaScript aren't seen.
- **Measured from Apify's servers.** Statuses and response times are what Apify's network sees. A firewall or bot
  manager may answer it differently from your visitors; a 401, 403 or 429 on a link is reported as `blocked`, not
  `broken`.
- **Not a crawler.** Pages are found through your sitemaps only. Broken links are looked for on the checked sitemap
  pages, not on pages your sitemap doesn't list.
- **Soft 404s aren't detected** (a "not found" page that answers 200).
- **Feeds and extensions are read, not validated.** RSS and Atom feeds give URLs and dates; image, video, news and
  hreflang entries are counted, not checked.
- **One site at a time** and one request per second per host by default, so check mode takes time: about 17 minutes
  per 1,000 URLs, longer with redirects or a Crawl-delay. Set the run's timeout accordingly (the Actor saves results
  as it goes).
- **`maxUrls` is for the whole run**, used in the order of the start URLs.

### FAQ

**Why do I have to tick the ownership box?** Check mode sends a request for every URL, and the broken-link search for
every link. That's for your own sites and your clients' sites, with their permission.

**Can it check faster?** Up to two requests per second per host, for a site you run. If your robots.txt sets a
`Crawl-delay`, give `sitemap-url-checker` its own group with a shorter one.

**Why is a URL "outside the sitemap's scope"?** A sitemap at `https://www.example.com/catalog/sitemap.xml` may only
list URLs that start with `https://www.example.com/catalog/`. List the sitemap in your robots.txt (`Sitemap: ...`)
and every URL of that site is in scope.

**Why "redirected" when the page works?** Search engines prefer sitemaps that list final URLs. The row shows the
redirect chain and the final URL to list instead.

**What happens if my sitemap is broken?** The run succeeds and the site summary says what's wrong, with the rule it
breaks. URLs read before an XML error are kept.

### Local development

```bash
cd sitemap-url-checker
python -m unittest discover -s tests       # offline tests with fixtures, standard library only
apify run --input '{"startUrls": ["https://www.example.com/"], "confirmOwnership": true}'
```

`src/core.py`, `src/sitemap.py`, `src/page.py` and `src/robots.py` use only the Python standard library;
`src/main.py` wraps them with the Apify SDK (`apify==4.0.2`).

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Up to 10 sites you own or manage (or have permission to check). Give a home page such as https://www.example.com/ (the sitemaps are found through its robots.txt 'Sitemap:' lines, or at /sitemap.xml) or a sitemap file such as https://www.example.com/sitemap_index.xml. They are read one after another. The pre-filled URL is a public example (Apify's documentation, which Apify's own sitemap tools also use as their example): replace it with your own site.

## `confirmOwnership` (type: `boolean`):

This Actor is for your own sites and your clients' sites (with their permission). The run stops unless this is ticked. The only exceptions are the pre-filled example (extract mode, at most 100 URLs) and a small site run by this Actor's developer.

## `mode` (type: `string`):

"extract": list every URL in the sitemaps with lastmod, changefreq, priority and protocol problems (a few requests per site). "check": also request each URL once (HEAD, or a GET that reads the page's head) for its HTTP status, redirect chain, final URL, response time, canonical tag and noindex. Check mode makes one request per URL, at most one per second per host by default, so 1,000 URLs take about 17 minutes. The two modes are priced differently (see Pricing).

## `maxUrls` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many URLs (after include/exclude filters), counted across all start URLs in order. Sitemaps are read only as far as needed.

## `maxRequestsPerSecond` (type: `number`):

1 by default. You can lower it (down to 0.1, one request every 10 seconds) or raise it to at most 2 for a site you run. A robots.txt Crawl-delay for this Actor makes it slower, never faster, and a 429 or 503 answer slows it down further.

## `checkPageTags` (type: `boolean`):

In check mode, request each URL with a GET that reads only the page's <head> (stopping at </head>), to report its canonical tag and a noindex in a robots meta tag. Off: a HEAD request per URL (with a GET fallback when HEAD fails), which reports noindex only from the X-Robots-Tag header.

## `findBrokenLinks` (type: `boolean`):

Needs mode "check". Each checked HTML page is read in full (up to 2 MB) and its links are collected: relative links are resolved, #fragments dropped, mailto:, tel: and javascript: links ignored. Each unique internal link is then checked once (a link that is already a sitemap URL reuses that result for free) and broken ones are reported with the pages they are on. A 401, 403 or 429 is reported as 'blocked', not 'broken'.

## `checkExternalLinks` (type: `boolean`):

With broken links on: also check links that point to other websites (one HEAD request per unique link, obeying each site's robots.txt and pace). Off by default.

## `maxLinks` (type: `integer`):

Check at most this many unique links in the whole run. A link that is itself a checked sitemap URL reuses that check and doesn't count.

## `includeUrlPatterns` (type: `array`):

Keep only URLs that match one of these patterns. '*' matches anything, e.g. "*/blog/*"; a pattern without '*' matches anywhere in the URL. Leave empty to keep all.

## `excludeUrlPatterns` (type: `array`):

Skip URLs that match one of these patterns, e.g. "*/tag/*" or "?page=".

## `lastmodSince` (type: `string`):

Keep only URLs whose sitemap <lastmod> is on or after this date (YYYY-MM-DD, UTC). URLs without a valid lastmod are skipped.

## `trackChanges` (type: `boolean`):

For scheduled monitoring: saves a snapshot of each start URL's URLs (and statuses in check mode) in a named key-value store in your account (sitemap-url-checker-state), compressed. Each URL record then says whether it is new or has a new lastmod or status, removed URLs are listed, and each site summary counts the changes. The first run saves a baseline.

## `onlyChanges` (type: `boolean`):

Turns on change tracking. After the first (baseline) run, only new URLs and URLs with a new lastmod or status are saved, plus removed URLs and the site summary. In extract mode you pay only for the URLs saved; in check mode every URL is still checked, so every check is charged.

## `monitorName` (type: `string`):

Keeps separate histories for the same start URL, e.g. "daily" or "client-a". Runs with the same name compare against each other. Used only with change tracking.

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
    "startUrls": ["https://docs.apify.com/"],
    "mode": "extract",
    "maxUrls": 100,
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("joi-ai-agent/sitemap-url-checker").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://docs.apify.com/"
  ],
  "mode": "extract",
  "maxUrls": 100
}' |
apify call joi-ai-agent/sitemap-url-checker --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,joi-ai-agent/sitemap-url-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).
