## Pricing

from $10.00 / 1,000 domain checkeds

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

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 examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

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`).

# README

## Website Health Check

Get one clear report per domain: DNS and email records, SSL expiry, HTTPS redirect, security headers, robots and sitemap, detected technologies, and a scored list of issues to fix.

Use it to monitor sites you run, audit a client's site, or check a list of domains before outreach or a purchase.

### Input

```json
{ "domains": ["example.com", "https://www.example.org/any/path"] }
```

### Output

One record per domain:

```json
{
  "domain": "example.com",
  "score": 60,
  "dns": { "a": ["…"], "mx": [], "spf": null, "dmarc": null, "dnsProvider": "Cloudflare" },
  "tls": { "issuer": "…", "expiresAt": "2026-12-25T22:56:35+00:00", "daysUntilExpiry": 51, "protocol": "TLSv1.3" },
  "http": {
    "status": 200,
    "responseMs": 149,
    "httpRedirectsToHttps": false,
    "missingSecurityHeaders": ["strict-transport-security", "content-security-policy"],
    "hasRobotsTxt": false,
    "hasSitemap": false,
    "technologies": ["Cloudflare"]
  },
  "issues": [
    { "severity": "warning", "code": "no-https-redirect", "message": "Plain HTTP does not redirect to HTTPS." }
  ]
}
```

SPF and DMARC are flagged only for domains that receive mail, so a static site isn't penalised for them.

### Pricing

**$0.01 per domain checked.** Invalid domains aren't charged. A domain that is down still gets a full report, because that's the finding you came for.

Each run also has a $0.00005 start fee per GB of memory. All compute is included.

### What it checks and what it doesn't

It reads public DNS and makes a few ordinary requests to the home page, `robots.txt` and `/sitemap.xml`. It doesn't crawl the site, test for vulnerabilities, or attempt to log in.

The score is a quick heuristic rather than a security audit. Technology detection uses a short list of clear signatures, so an unlisted technology is left out rather than guessed.

# Actor input Schema

## `domains` (type: `array`):

Domains or URLs to check.

## `concurrency` (type: `integer`):

How many requests run at once.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "domains": [
    "apify.com"
  ],
  "concurrency": 5
}

# 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 = {
    "domains": [
        "apify.com"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("metaparse/site-health").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);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "domains": ["apify.com"] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("metaparse/site-health").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "domains": [
    "apify.com"
  ]
}' |
apify call metaparse/site-health --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,metaparse/site-health"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
