They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. 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/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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 ## Website Uptime & Status Checker **Is your website up? Check HTTP status, response time, SSL and server info for any URL โ€” no API key, no login.** This Apify Actor takes a list of URLs and returns a live status snapshot for each one: whether it is **up or down**, the **HTTP status code**, **response time in milliseconds**, the **final URL after redirects**, the **server** and **content-type** headers, and whether **SSL** is reachable. Perfect for uptime monitoring, site health dashboards, SLA checks and QA smoke tests. Requests use a real Chrome browser fingerprint (via `curl_cffi`), so sites that block plain bots still respond, with a plain `urllib` fallback for maximum reliability. --- ### Features - โœ… **Up/down classification** โ€” a URL is *up* on any `2xx`/`3xx` status - โฑ๏ธ **Response time** measured in milliseconds - ๐Ÿ” **Redirect tracking** โ€” final URL and a `redirected` flag - ๐Ÿ”’ **SSL check** โ€” is the site reachable over HTTPS without error - ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ **Server & content headers** โ€” `Server`, `Content-Type`, `Content-Length` - ๐Ÿงต **Concurrent** โ€” checks many URLs in parallel - ๐Ÿ”‘ **No API key, no login** โ€” just paste URLs ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |-------|------|---------|-------------| | `mode` | select | `check` | `check` returns a status snapshot per URL | | `urls` | array | `["https://github.com","https://example.com"]` | URLs to check (bare domains auto-prefixed with `https://`) | | `timeoutSec` | integer | `15` | Max seconds to wait per URL | | `maxItems` | integer | `200` | Cap on URLs processed per run (max 2000) | #### Example input ```json { "mode": "check", "urls": ["https://github.com", "https://example.com"], "timeoutSec": 15, "maxItems": 200 } ```` ### Output One dataset item per URL: ```json { "url": "https://github.com", "up": true, "status_code": 200, "response_time_ms": 1040, "final_url": "https://github.com/", "redirected": false, "server": "github.com", "content_type": "text/html; charset=utf-8", "content_length": null, "ssl_valid": true, "error": null, "checked_at": "2026-07-24T10:00:00+00:00", "source": "uptime-monitor", "scraped_at": "2026-07-24T10:00:00+00:00" } ``` All fields are nullable. A failed request still emits a row with `up: false` and a human-readable `error`. ### Use cases - **Uptime monitoring** โ€” schedule a run and alert when `up` flips to false - **Site health** โ€” spot slow response times and broken SSL at a glance - **SLA checks** โ€” record status and latency evidence over time - **QA** โ€” smoke-test a list of environments after every deploy ### Pricing Runs on the smallest memory tier and is extremely cheap โ€” roughly **$0.50 per 1,000 URLs checked**, depending on target response times. Only pay for what you check. ### Related actors - [HTTP Headers Inspector](https://apify.com/ninhothedev/http-headers-inspector) - [Redirect Chain Tracer](https://apify.com/ninhothedev/redirect-chain-tracer) - [Broken Link Checker](https://apify.com/ninhothedev/broken-link-checker) - [SSL Certificate Checker](https://apify.com/ninhothedev/ssl-certificate-checker) ### FAQ **Does it need an API key?** No. Paste URLs and run. **What counts as "up"?** Any HTTP `2xx` or `3xx` response. `4xx`/`5xx` and connection failures are treated as down. **Can I monitor on a schedule?** Yes โ€” use Apify Schedules to run it every few minutes and connect a webhook/integration to alert on downtime. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): What the actor does. 'check' takes your URLs and returns a live status snapshot (up/down, HTTP status, response time, SSL, server) for each one. ## `urls` (type: `array`): One or more website URLs to check. A bare domain (example.com) is auto-prefixed with https://. Each URL yields exactly one result row. ## `timeoutSec` (type: `integer`): Maximum seconds to wait for each URL before recording it as an error/down. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Safety cap on how many URLs are processed in one run. Extra URLs beyond this limit are ignored. ## Actor input object example ```json { "mode": "check", "urls": [ "https://github.com", "https://example.com" ], "timeoutSec": 15, "maxItems": 200 } ``` # 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 = { "urls": [ "https://github.com", "https://example.com" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("ninhothedev/website-uptime-monitor").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“–?
