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

URL Slug Quality Auditor parses URL paths and slugs deterministically to surface readability, consistency, duplication, length, casing, underscore, encoding, numeric-ID, date, parameter, and trailing-slash risks.

### What it does

- Accepts URL arrays, delimited URL text, and fetched XML sitemap inputs without fetching ordinary pages.
- Preserves decoded path, slug tokens, segment count, length, query, encoding, and trailing-slash evidence.
- Groups duplicate normalized slugs across different site sections.
- Applies configurable length/segment limits and date, numeric-ID, duplicate, and case-normalization controls.

### Reports

The key-value store contains the audit, all slug rows, duplicate groups, long paths, numeric-ID rows, and a pattern summary.

### Example input

```json
{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.wikipedia.org/"
  ],
  "sitemapUrls": [
    "https://www.wikipedia.org/"
  ],
  "urlListText": "",
  "allowedDomains": "",
  "maxUrls": 3,
  "slugMaxLength": "",
  "pathMaxSegments": "",
  "detectDatePatterns": true,
  "detectNumericIds": true,
  "detectDuplicateSlugs": true,
  "normalizeCase": true,
  "timeoutMs": 3
}
```

### Output fields

url, normalizedUrl, path, slug, slugSegments, pathSegmentCount, slugLength, containsUppercase, containsUnderscore, containsEncodedCharacters, numericIdPattern, datePattern, queryStringPresent, duplicateSlugGroupId, trailingSlash, issueCode, severity, recommendation

### Cost controls

Use `maxUrls`, `slugMaxLength`, `pathMaxSegments`, and `allowedDomains` to control analysis scope and policy.

### Limitations

The actor does not perform keyword research, rewrite URLs, generate redirects, or provide subjective editorial approval.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("junipr/url-slug-quality-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/url-slug-quality-auditor --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

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