## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

### Public Task Concepts

- Audit Breadcrumb Consistency controls on a capped public sample
- Find high-priority Breadcrumb Consistency issues before release
- Validate Breadcrumb Consistency evidence from supplied pages
- Prioritize Breadcrumb Consistency fixes with severity and proof
- Export Breadcrumb Consistency QA rows for client review

Breadcrumb Consistency Auditor compares the visible breadcrumb trail with BreadcrumbList structured data and the page canonical. It normalizes names, URLs, positions, and depth so mismatches can be fixed with direct evidence.

### What it checks

- Fetches public pages or parses supplied HTML with the same visible and structured-data parsers.
- Extracts visible trails from common breadcrumb markup or configured simple tag/class/id selectors.
- Parses JSON-LD BreadcrumbList and Microdata/RDFa-style ListItem properties.
- Detects missing visible or structured trails, name/URL/depth mismatches, missing item URLs, invalid or duplicate positions, and canonical conflicts.
- Preserves the visible and structured trails in every emitted item row and derives five buyer-ready reports from those rows.

### Reports

The default key-value store includes `breadcrumb-consistency-audit.md`, `breadcrumb-item-results.csv`, `visible-schema-breadcrumb-mismatches.csv`, `missing-breadcrumb-schema.csv`, and `breadcrumb-position-errors.json`.

### Output fields

sourceUrl, pageTitle, breadcrumbSource, breadcrumbIndex, breadcrumbName, breadcrumbUrl, breadcrumbPosition, visibleTrail, schemaTrail, visibleSchemaMismatch, urlMismatch, positionValid, canonicalUrl, issueCode, severity, recommendation, evidenceSnippet

### Cost controls

Use `maxPages` to bound fetches and `maxDepth` to bound items per trail. `includeEvidence` can suppress the text excerpt when only normalized fields are needed.

### Limitations

The actor reports observed markup and does not generate breadcrumbs, edit structured data, certify UX, or make ranking guarantees.

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("junipr/breadcrumb-consistency-auditor").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);
});

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call junipr/breadcrumb-consistency-auditor --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,junipr/breadcrumb-consistency-auditor"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
