## Pricing

from $6.50 / 1,000 operation testeds

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

## 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.

## Function Call JSON Repair

### Store Positioning

**Store title:** Function Call JSON Repair

**Short description:** Repair malformed JSON function-call arguments and tool outputs using safe deterministic fixes, validate against schemas, and emit repair diagnostics with before/after records.

**SEO title:** Function Call JSON Repair — API, schema, and developer QA

**SEO description:** Repair malformed JSON function-call arguments and tool outputs using safe deterministic fixes, validate against schemas, and emit repair diagnostics with before/after records. Use it to catch contract drift, schema mistakes, unsafe endpoint assumptions, and developer-tool quality issues before release.

### Pay-Per-Event Pricing

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing. Event prices include Apify platform usage; users are not expected to pay a separate platform-usage pass-through charge for the configured pricing model.

- Tier: A1 — API/developer QA
- Primary event: `operation-tested` at $0.00650 base
- Default max charge: $10.00
- Store discounts: FREE/BRONZE base, SILVER discounted, GOLD deepest approved discount

Event set:

- `actor-start`: base $0.00500, GOLD $0.00400. Function Call JSON Repair: charged when actor start is completed. The price includes Apify platform usage; no separate usage pass-through is intended.
- `operation-tested`: base $0.00650, GOLD $0.00520. Function Call JSON Repair: charged when operation tested is completed. The price includes Apify platform usage; no separate usage pass-through is intended.
- `contract-rule-checked`: base $0.00390, GOLD $0.00312. Function Call JSON Repair: charged when contract rule checked is completed. The price includes Apify platform usage; no separate usage pass-through is intended.
- `report-generated`: base $0.05000, GOLD $0.04000. Function Call JSON Repair: charged when report generated is completed. The price includes Apify platform usage; no separate usage pass-through is intended.

### Public Task Concepts

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

prepared v5 hard-reset actor. It consumes the approved input fields, computes actor-specific rows, and writes local KVS reports. No Apify cloud commands, token use, pushes, tasks, or icon uploads are performed.

### Inputs

- `rawJsonInputs`
- `functionCallTranscripts`
- `expectedSchemas`
- `repairMode`
- `allowedRepairs`
- `extractJsonFromText`
- `preserveOriginal`
- `rejectAmbiguousRepairs`
- `maxInputBytes`
- `includeRepairDiff`
- `strictSchemaValidation`
- `timeoutMs`

### Billing safety

The actor charges `actor-start` before analysis, charges the primary PPE event before each dataset row, and charges the report event before writing report artifacts. `maxChargeUsd` stops work or output gracefully before the configured cap is exceeded.

# Actor input Schema

## `rawJsonInputs` (type: `array`):

Optional supplied JSON objects to inspect without fetching remote data.

## `functionCallTranscripts` (type: `array`):

Tool-call transcripts for Function Call JSON Repair to replay, classify, or validate.

## `expectedSchemas` (type: `array`):

Expected schemas used for comparison and validation.

## `repairMode` (type: `string`):

Repair Mode controlling how Function Call JSON Repair processes the supplied inputs.

## `allowedRepairs` (type: `array`):

Allowed repairs for this run. Values outside this list are skipped or flagged.

## `extractJsonFromText` (type: `boolean`):

Extract JSON from text when enough evidence is available.

## `preserveOriginal` (type: `boolean`):

Preserve Original controls Function Call JSON Repair processing for the supplied inputs; keep values conservative for first runs.

## `rejectAmbiguousRepairs` (type: `boolean`):

Reject Ambiguous Repairs controls Function Call JSON Repair processing for the supplied inputs; keep values conservative for first runs.

## `maxInputBytes` (type: `number`):

Maximum input bytes to process in one run; keep defaults low for safe first runs.

## `includeRepairDiff` (type: `boolean`):

Include repair diff in output rows or reports when available.

## `strictSchemaValidation` (type: `boolean`):

Enable stricter validation for Function Call JSON Repair and flag more edge cases as findings.

## `timeoutMs` (type: `number`):

Maximum time in milliseconds allowed for the Function Call JSON Repair operation before it is treated as timed out.

## `maxChargeUsd` (type: `number`):

Maximum estimated PPE charge allowed for the run before the actor stops gracefully.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call junipr/function-call-json-repair --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,junipr/function-call-json-repair"

```

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).
