# How do I check the links on one page for 404s?

**Use case:** 

Sometimes you do not want a whole site audited, only one page: the landing page you are about to launch, or the resources page nobody has touched in a year. With depth 0 and one page, the run checks every link on that URL, internal and external, and opens nothing else. One row per broken link, with the HTTP status or the network error, the source page and the anchor text.

## Input

```json
{
  "startUrl": "https://books.toscrape.com",
  "maxPages": 1,
  "maxDepth": 0,
  "requestDelaySeconds": 0.25,
  "requestTimeoutSeconds": 15,
  "concurrency": 8,
  "checkExternalLinks": true,
  "includeSubdomains": false
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "rowType": {
    "label": "Row type",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "brokenUrl": {
    "label": "Broken URL",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "statusCode": {
    "label": "HTTP status",
    "format": "integer"
  },
  "error": {
    "label": "Error",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "sourceUrl": {
    "label": "Found on page",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "anchorText": {
    "label": "Anchor text",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "linkType": {
    "label": "Link type",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "message": {
    "label": "Summary",
    "format": "string"
  }
}
```

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Find Broken Links on Your Whole Site: 404 Link Checker](https://apify.com/lotebo-lab/broken-link-auditor.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/lotebo-lab/broken-link-auditor.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

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 full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/lotebo-lab/broken-link-auditor.md

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`).
