Learn more: https://docs.apify.com/actors/running/actors-in-store.md#pay-per-event ## 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 ### What does Traffic Genius β€” Analytics QA & Load Tester do? **Traffic Genius β€” Analytics QA & Load Tester** is a dual-mode Apify Actor that verifies **Google Analytics 4 (GA4), Google Tag Manager (GTM), Meta Pixel, and TikTok Pixel** firing using real browser engagement (`PAGEVIEW` mode) or benchmarks server response latency and HTTP status health under concurrent requests (`STRESS_TEST` mode). Built for analytics engineers, performance marketing teams, QA automation pipelines, and DevOps teams, this tool lets you configure custom dwell time (`waitOnPage`), smooth scroll depth (`scrollPercentage`), and UTM attribution tags (`utmSource`, `utmMedium`, `utmCampaign`) and exports structured per-visit verification records in JSON, CSV, or Excel. *** > πŸ›‘οΈ **Zero Proxy Configuration Required:** Anti-blocking and regional routing are **handled automatically out of the box** β€” just paste your target URLs and click **Start**. ### What data can you extract with Traffic Genius β€” Analytics QA & Load Tester? **πŸ“Š Detected Analytics & Ad Pixels** β€” array of verified `analyticsDetected` tags (`GA4`, GTM, `META_PIXEL`, `TIKTOK_PIXEL`) captured during page execution
**🌐 Target & UTM Attribution URL** β€” full visited `url` and page `title` including appended `utm_source`, `utm_medium`, and `utm_campaign` query parameters
**⏱️ Response Latency & Visit Duration** β€” end-to-end `durationMs` timing and HTTP status code (`httpStatus`) for every visit or load probe
**πŸ“œ Scroll & Engagement Telemetry** β€” actual `scrollSimulated`, `scrollPercentageReached`, `visitNumber`, and execution `mode` (`analytics_qa` or `load_test`)
**βœ… Pass/Fail QA Status** β€” structured `status` (`SUCCESS` or error indicator) and ISO-8601 `checkedAt` verification timestamp
*** ### Why run automated Analytics QA and load tests with Traffic Genius? **πŸ’ͺ Post-Deployment Tag & Pixel Verification** β€” automatically confirm that GA4, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, and TikTok Pixel still fire after frontend releases or landing page updates
**πŸ•΅οΈ Scroll-Triggered & Dwell-Time Event QA** β€” simulate realistic user scroll depth (`scrollPercentage`) and time on page (`waitOnPage`) to trigger scroll-depth and timer-based GTM tags
**✨ End-to-End UTM Campaign Attribution Testing** β€” append custom `utm_source`, `utm_medium`, and `utm_campaign` parameters to verify that landing pages preserve marketing attribution
**πŸ‘ Dual-Mode Browser QA & HTTP Latency Benchmarking** β€” switch between `PAGEVIEW` browser verification and `STRESS_TEST` concurrent HTTP benchmarking in a single Actor
**πŸ“© Real-Time Streaming to Apify Dataset** β€” every visit record streams immediately to your dataset for live export to Google Sheets, BigQuery, Slack alerts, Make, or n8n
*** ### How do I use Traffic Genius β€” Analytics QA & Load Tester? 1. Open **Traffic Genius β€” Analytics QA & Load Tester** in Apify Console. 2. Enter one or more target landing page or endpoint URLs in **Target URLs** (`startUrls`). 3. Choose **Execution Mode** (`mode`): select `PAGEVIEW` for browser tag verification with scroll and dwell engagement, or `STRESS_TEST` for HTTP latency benchmarking. 4. Configure **Visits per URL** (`visitsPerUrl`), **Dwell Time on Page** (`waitOnPage`), **Scroll Depth Percentage** (`scrollPercentage`), and optional **UTM parameters**. 5. Click **Start** and download your QA report in **JSON, CSV, Excel (.xlsx), or HTML table** format from the **Output** or **Dataset** tab. *** ### Input Traffic Genius β€” Analytics QA & Load Tester accepts a JSON configuration object. Click on the [Input tab](https://apify.com/misterkhan/traffic-genius/input-schema) for the interactive visual form. ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://example.com" } ], "mode": "PAGEVIEW", "visitsPerUrl": 1, "waitOnPage": 3, "scrollPercentage": 60 } ``` **🌐 Target URLs (`startUrls`)** β€” array of target webpage or endpoint URLs to visit or benchmark
**βš™οΈ Execution Mode (`mode`)** β€” `PAGEVIEW` runs browser visits with scroll/dwell engagement and analytics tag detection; `STRESS_TEST` runs concurrent HTTP latency probes
**πŸ” Visits per URL (`visitsPerUrl`)** β€” number of visits to perform per target URL (default: 1)
**⏳ Dwell Time on Page (`waitOnPage`)** β€” seconds to remain on the page after scrolling in `PAGEVIEW` mode (default: 3)
**πŸ“œ Scroll Depth Percentage (`scrollPercentage`)** β€” percentage of total page height to smoothly scroll during each visit (default: 60)
**🏷️ UTM Source / Medium / Campaign (`utmSource`, `utmMedium`, `utmCampaign`)** β€” optional UTM attribution parameters appended to each target URL
*** ### Output sample Results are packed into a structured dataset where each record represents a completed QA visit or latency probe. Below is an excerpt of the JSON output: ```json [ { "url": "https://example.com/?utm_source=apify_qa&utm_medium=automated_test&utm_campaign=tag_verification", "mode": "analytics_qa", "visitNumber": 1, "status": "SUCCESS", "httpStatus": 200, "durationMs": 4210, "scrollPercentageReached": 75, "analyticsDetected": [ "GA4", "GTM" ], "checkedAt": "2026-10-15T12:00:00Z" } ] ``` *** ### How much does it cost to run Traffic Genius β€” Analytics QA & Load Tester? This Actor uses **Pay-Per-Event (Pay-Per-Result)** pricing with a **`$0.00` Actor start fee**. You only pay for verification records delivered to your dataset, and the `128 MB` runtime keeps platform compute costs near zero: **πŸ†“ Free Plan** β€” `$5.00 / 1,000 results` ($0.0050 per result, up to 40 results per run)
**πŸ₯‰ Starter Plan (Bronze)** β€” `$0.90 / 1,000 results` ($0.00090 per result, unlimited results)

** `PAGEVIEW` mode launches a real browser session that renders JavaScript, scrolls to your configured `scrollPercentage`, waits `waitOnPage` seconds, and inspects network/DOM telemetry for `GA4`, GTM, `META_PIXEL`, and `TIKTOK_PIXEL`. `STRESS_TEST` mode performs fast HTTP requests to benchmark server response times and HTTP status codes. **πŸ›‘οΈ Do I need to configure proxies?
** **No β€” everything works out of the box with zero setup.** Regional routing, session management, and anti-blocking are handled automatically so you do not need to configure custom proxy settings. **🧩 How do I detect 7,000+ CMS, framework, and infrastructure technologies in bulk?
** Traffic Genius focuses on interactive analytics pixel verification (`GA4`, GTM, `META_PIXEL`, `TIKTOK_PIXEL`), scroll engagement, and latency benchmarking.
