## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

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

### Store Positioning

**Store title:** Webhook Signature Validator

**Short description:** Validate webhook payload signatures against HMAC-style schemes and return pass/fail details.

**SEO title:** Webhook Signature Validator — API, schema, and developer QA

**SEO description:** Validate webhook payload signatures against HMAC-style schemes and return pass/fail details. Use it to catch contract drift, schema mistakes, unsafe endpoint assumptions, and developer-tool quality issues before release.

### 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.

- Tier: A1 — API/developer QA
- Primary event: `signature-validated` 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. Webhook Signature Validator: charged when actor start is completed. The price includes Apify platform usage; no separate usage pass-through is intended.
- `signature-validated`: base $0.00650, GOLD $0.00520. Webhook Signature Validator: charged when signature validated is completed. The price includes Apify platform usage; no separate usage pass-through is intended.
- `contract-rule-checked`: base $0.00390, GOLD $0.00312. Webhook Signature Validator: 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. Webhook Signature Validator: charged when report generated is completed. The price includes Apify platform usage; no separate usage pass-through is intended.

### Public Task Concepts

- Validate Webhook Signature records from a capped sample
- Find invalid Webhook Signature values before delivery
- Check Webhook Signature coverage against expected rules
- Prioritize Webhook Signature validation failures by severity
- Export Webhook Signature pass-fail rows with evidence

### What It Does

Validate webhook payload signatures against HMAC-style schemes and return pass/fail details.

This local package is part of the Junipr Apify actors 171-200 premium build for ChatGPT review.

### What It Does Not Do

- It does not call live Apify APIs.
- It does not publish, upload Store assets, create public tasks, or configure live PPE.
- It does not claim publish readiness.
- It does not make unbounded network calls in the supplied examples path.

### Input Fields

Seed shape: inputItems, maxItems, includeReport

The tiny fixture is available at `examples/input.tiny.json` and mirrored at `fixtures/input.tiny.json` for the local runner.

### Output Fields

- `validationId`
- `algorithm`
- `signatureProvided`
- `signatureComputedMasked`
- `isValid`
- `timestampValid`
- `payloadHash`
- `mismatchReason`

### Public Task Examples

#### Validate webhook HMAC signatures from sample payloads

- Search intent: validate webhook hmac signatures from sample payloads
- Specific input: Fixture input shaped for validate webhook hmac signatures from sample payloads.
- Expected output: Dataset rows with validationId, algorithm, signatureProvided, signatureComputedMasked plus local KVS report evidence.
- Why run it: API teams, integration engineers, SaaS developers would run this to get a bounded local proof before any live Apify review or production use.

#### Mask computed webhook secrets in QA output

- Search intent: mask computed webhook secrets in qa output
- Specific input: Fixture input shaped for mask computed webhook secrets in qa output.
- Expected output: Dataset rows with validationId, algorithm, signatureProvided, signatureComputedMasked plus local KVS report evidence.
- Why run it: API teams, integration engineers, SaaS developers would run this to get a bounded local proof before any live Apify review or production use.

#### Compare provided and computed webhook signatures

- Search intent: compare provided and computed webhook signatures
- Specific input: Fixture input shaped for compare provided and computed webhook signatures.
- Expected output: Dataset rows with validationId, algorithm, signatureProvided, signatureComputedMasked plus local KVS report evidence.
- Why run it: API teams, integration engineers, SaaS developers would run this to get a bounded local proof before any live Apify review or production use.

#### Check timestamp and payload hash evidence locally

- Search intent: check timestamp and payload hash evidence locally
- Specific input: Fixture input shaped for check timestamp and payload hash evidence locally.
- Expected output: Dataset rows with validationId, algorithm, signatureProvided, signatureComputedMasked plus local KVS report evidence.
- Why run it: API teams, integration engineers, SaaS developers would run this to get a bounded local proof before any live Apify review or production use.

#### Prepare webhook signature fixtures for integration tests

- Search intent: prepare webhook signature fixtures for integration tests
- Specific input: Fixture input shaped for prepare webhook signature fixtures for integration tests.
- Expected output: Dataset rows with validationId, algorithm, signatureProvided, signatureComputedMasked plus local KVS report evidence.
- Why run it: API teams, integration engineers, SaaS developers would run this to get a bounded local proof before any live Apify review or production use.

### Tests

- Actor-specific fixture tests live in `test/webhook-signature-validator.test.ts`.
- Node-based local suites validate dataset schema conformance, output samples, local smoke runs, and PPE guard behavior.

### FAQ

#### Is this live on Apify?

No. This is a local package for ChatGPT review only.

#### Is it publish-ready?

No. It needs later live tiny-run validation and console configuration before any publication decision.
