## 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`).

### Fixed-Inclusive PPE 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.

### Public Task Concepts

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

HTTPS WWW Canonical Host Auditor tests whether HTTP/HTTPS and www/non-www variants converge on one preferred public URL. It follows real redirect chains and records the final host, protocol, canonical tag, HSTS signal, and actionable normalization failures.

### What it checks

- Generates the enabled HTTP/HTTPS and www/non-www variants for each supplied origin.
- Follows redirects up to `maxRedirects`, preserving every hop and status code.
- Detects redirect loops, protocol downgrades, HTTP endpoints that do not enforce HTTPS, split final hosts, non-success finals, and canonical conflicts.
- Evaluates the preferred host/protocol and optional HSTS and canonical-tag signals.
- Accepts `redirectSnapshots` for repeatable audits of captured redirect behavior without replacing the live URL-fetch path.

### Reports

The default key-value store includes `https-www-canonical-host-audit.md`, `host-variant-results.csv`, `redirect-chain-results.json`, `canonical-host-conflicts.csv`, and `https-enforcement-issues.csv`. Every report is derived from the emitted variant rows.

### Example input

```json
{
  "siteOrigins": [
    "https://example.com/"
  ],
  "preferredHost": "example.com",
  "preferredProtocol": "https",
  "testWwwNonWww": "true",
  "testHttpHttps": "true",
  "followRedirects": true,
  "maxRedirects": 6,
  "includeCanonicalTagCheck": true,
  "includeHstsCheck": true,
  "requestDelayMs": 100,
  "timeoutMs": 10000
}
```

### Output fields

siteOrigin, variantUrl, variantType, statusCode, redirectCount, redirectChain, finalUrl, finalProtocol, finalHost, preferredHostMatched, preferredProtocolMatched, canonicalUrl, canonicalMatchesFinalUrl, hstsPresent, protocolDowngrade, loopDetected, issueCode, severity, recommendation

### Cost controls

Each checked host variant produces at most one dataset row. Keep origin lists and `maxRedirects` bounded; use `allowedDomains` when the input comes from a larger sitemap.

### Limitations

Results reflect public HTTP responses at run time. This actor does not change DNS, TLS certificates, redirects, server configuration, canonical tags, or HSTS policy.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call junipr/https-www-canonical-host-auditor --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,junipr/https-www-canonical-host-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).
