# Check API endpoint status codes in bulk

**Use case:** 

Send one HEAD request to each API endpoint in a list and record the HTTP status code, response time and selected headers, without downloading bodies. Useful for checking that endpoints of an API you are authorized to use are up.

## Input

```json
{
  "requests": [
    "https://httpbin.org/status/200",
    "https://httpbin.org/get"
  ],
  "method": "HEAD",
  "requestBody": "",
  "bodyContentType": "application/json",
  "apiKeyIn": "bearer",
  "apiKeyHeaderName": "X-API-Key",
  "apiKeyQueryParam": "api_key",
  "followRedirects": true,
  "maxRedirects": 5,
  "timeoutSecs": 30,
  "maxResponseBytes": 1048576,
  "responseFormat": "none",
  "includeResponseHeaders": true,
  "maxConcurrency": 3,
  "credentialOwnershipAttestation": false
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "index": {
    "label": "#",
    "format": "number"
  },
  "url": {
    "label": "URL",

## FAQ

### What does the Check API endpoint status codes in bulk task record?

The Check API endpoint status codes in bulk task records, per URL, the HTTP status, timing, selected response headers and whether the request was charged.

### How much does a bulk status check cost?

The Check API endpoint status codes in bulk task costs $2 per 1,000 requests answered 2xx or 3xx plus a start fee of $0.005 per run at the default 1 GB of memory; errors have no per-request charge.

### Are 4xx and 5xx answers charged?

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [HTTP API Request Runner](https://apify.com/luxe_tasks/http-runner.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/luxe_tasks/http-runner.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/luxe_tasks/http-runner.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`).
