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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## ๐Ÿ”’ Domain Security Posture Checker ยท DNS ยท SPF ยท DMARC ยท TLS One call returns a security report card per domain โ€” WHOIS age, DNS, SPF/DMARC email auth, SSL/TLS expiry โ€” with a posture score and grade. For security, due-diligence, and sales-engineering teams. ### โšก What you get | Field | Description | |---|---| | `score` / `grade` | Overall posture (0-100, A-D) | | `hasSPF` / `spf` | SPF record + value | | `hasDMARC` / `dmarcPolicy` | DMARC + policy | | `sslIssuer` / `sslExpires` / `sslDaysLeft` | TLS health | | `registrar` / `created` / `expires` | WHOIS via RDAP | | `mx` / `nameservers` / `a` | DNS | | `findings` | Human-readable issues | ### ๐ŸŽฏ Use cases 1. Security teams scoring third-party domains 2. M&A / due-diligence quick risk checks 3. Sales engineering pre-call audits 4. Email deliverability (SPF/DMARC) audits ### ๐Ÿš€ Sample inputs ```json { "domains": ["stripe.com","github.com"] } ```` ```json { "domains": ["yourcompany.com"] } ``` ### ๐Ÿ“ฆ Sample output ```json { "domain": "stripe.com", "score": 90, "grade": "A", "hasSPF": true, "hasDMARC": true, "dmarcPolicy": "reject", "sslIssuer": "DigiCert Inc", "sslDaysLeft": 312, "findings": [] } ``` ### ๐Ÿ“Š Sample Output ![Sample output](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/8gLgXMBveEI1tTz1z/records/domain-security-posture-checker-output.png) ### ๐Ÿ›  How it works 1. **DNS** โ€” A/MX/NS/TXT via DNS-over-HTTPS (Cloudflare). 2. **Email auth** โ€” parses SPF and `_dmarc` DMARC policy. 3. **TLS** โ€” reads the port-443 certificate (issuer, expiry). 4. **WHOIS** โ€” registrar + dates via RDAP. 5. **Score** โ€” weighted posture score + grade + findings. ### ๐Ÿ”— Related Actors - [WHOIS Domain Lookup](https://apify.com/nexgendata/domain-whois-lookup?fpr=2ayu9b) - [DNS Records Lookup](https://apify.com/nexgendata/dns-records-lookup?fpr=2ayu9b) - [SSL Certificate Checker](https://apify.com/nexgendata/ssl-certificate-checker?fpr=2ayu9b) - [Email DMARC Auditor](https://apify.com/nexgendata/email-dmarc-auditor?fpr=2ayu9b) ### ๐Ÿ’ฐ Pricing Example Pay-per-event: **$0.005 per run + $0.15 per domain report** (`domain-report`). | Domains | Cost | |---|---| | 50 | ~$7.50 | | 200 | ~$30.00 | | 1,000 | ~$150.00 | Apify's **$5 free credit** covers ~33 domains. [Start free โ†’](https://apify.com/?fpr=2ayu9b) ### โš–๏ธ Legal & data sources Public DNS (DoH), public RDAP/WHOIS, and a standard TLS handshake on port 443 โ€” all public, no login. Identified User-Agent. ### โ“ FAQ **A vulnerability scanner?** No โ€” a posture/hygiene report, not an intrusive scan. **DKIM?** SPF + DMARC checked; DKIM (selector-specific) on the roadmap. **Fresh?** Live at run time. **Key?** No. **Bulk?** Yes. **Scoring?** Weighted across SPF, DMARC policy, TLS, and DNS. ### ๐Ÿ†˜ Troubleshooting - **SSL invalid/unreachable** โ€” host may not serve TLS on 443. - **No WHOIS** โ€” some TLDs have limited RDAP. - **Low score** โ€” check `findings`. - **Subdomain** โ€” pass the registrable domain. ### ๐Ÿท๏ธ About NexGenData Structured public-data tools for analysts, developers, and operators. [thenextgennexus.com](https://thenextgennexus.com/actors-by-workflow/). # Actor input Schema ## `domains` (type: `array`): Domains to assess, e.g. \["stripe.com","example.org"]. ## Actor input object example ```json { "domains": [ "stripe.com", "github.com" ] } ``` # 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 '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "domains": [ "stripe.com", "github.com" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("nexgendata/domain-security-posture-checker").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`๐Ÿ’พ 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); }); // ๐Ÿ“š Want to learn more ๐Ÿ“–?
