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

Pagination SEO Auditor inspects bounded listing, category, and article-series pages for canonical, robots, rel prev/next, visible pagination, and metadata defects. It can follow real `rel=next` sequences and records the evidence behind each issue.

### What it checks

- Fetches supplied public pages and follows `rel=next` links up to `maxPaginationDepth` when enabled.
- Extracts canonical, robots, title, meta description, rel prev/next, and visible previous/next/page-number links.
- Detects page 2+ canonicalized to page 1, missing or wrong prev/next signals, noindex series pages, broken pagination targets, gaps, and infinite-scroll-only hints.
- Groups duplicate titles and descriptions across a pagination sequence.
- Produces page, link, broken-link, duplicate-metadata, and sequence-summary reports from computed rows.

### Reports

The default key-value store contains `pagination-seo-audit.md`, `pagination-page-results.csv`, `pagination-link-inventory.csv`, `broken-pagination-links.csv`, `duplicate-pagination-metadata.csv`, and `pagination-sequence-summary.json`.

### Output fields

sourceUrl, pageNumber, pageTitle, metaDescription, canonicalUrl, robotsIndexable, relPrevUrl, relNextUrl, uiPrevUrl, uiNextUrl, paginationLinkUrl, paginationLinkText, paginationSequenceId, duplicateTitleGroupId, brokenPaginationLink, issueCode, severity, recommendation

### Cost controls

Use `maxPages` and `maxPaginationDepth` together to cap sequence traversal. Broken-link checks are bounded to the pagination links actually emitted for the selected pages.

### Limitations

The actor does not execute browser-rendered infinite scroll or change pagination markup, canonical tags, robots directives, or application routing.

## CLI example

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

```

## MCP server setup

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