The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

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 ## HTTP Status Code Checker - Bulk URL Validator Check HTTP status codes for any list of URLs. Returns the status code, final URL after redirects, full redirect chain, response time, Content-Type header, and whether each URL is broken (4xx/5xx). ### Use Cases - **SEO audits** – find broken pages, chains of redirects, and redirect loops before they hurt rankings - **Broken link detection** – validate internal and external links across a website or spreadsheet export - **Redirect mapping** – visualize every hop in a redirect chain (301, 302, 307, 308) during site migrations - **Uptime monitoring** – periodically verify that critical URLs return 200 - **Content inventory** – identify pages that have moved, gone, or changed Content-Type ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `urls` | array of strings | — | URLs to check (required) | | `followRedirects` | boolean | `true` | Follow HTTP redirects and capture the chain | | `maxRedirects` | integer | `10` | Maximum redirects to follow per URL | | `timeout` | integer | `30` | Per-request timeout in seconds | | `concurrency` | integer | `10` | Parallel requests | | `maxResults` | integer | `100` | Cap on URLs processed (cost control) | ### Output Each URL produces one record: | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `url` | string | Original URL submitted | | `statusCode` | integer | HTTP status code of the final response (0 if connection failed) | | `statusText` | string | Status text (e.g. `OK`, `Not Found`) | | `finalUrl` | string | URL after all redirects | | `redirectChain` | array | Each redirect hop: `{ "url": "...", "statusCode": 301 }` | | `responseTimeMs` | integer | Total elapsed time including all redirects | | `contentType` | string | `Content-Type` header from the final response | | `isBroken` | boolean | `true` if status code is 4xx or 5xx | | `error` | string | Error message if the request could not be completed | ### Example Output ```json { "url": "http://github.com", "statusCode": 200, "statusText": "OK", "finalUrl": "https://github.com/", "redirectChain": [ { "url": "http://github.com", "statusCode": 301 } ], "responseTimeMs": 142, "contentType": "text/html; charset=utf-8", "isBroken": false } ```` ### Pricing $0.10 per 1,000 URLs checked. # Actor input Schema ## `urls` (type: `array`): List of URLs to check. Enter one URL per line (e.g., https://example.com, https://github.com). Returns status code, redirects, response time, and whether each URL is broken. ## `followRedirects` (type: `boolean`): Follow HTTP redirects and record the full redirect chain. When disabled, returns the status of the first response only. ## `maxRedirects` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of redirects to follow per URL before giving up. ## `timeout` (type: `integer`): Request timeout in seconds. Requests that exceed this limit are marked as errors. ## `concurrency` (type: `integer`): Number of URLs to check simultaneously. Higher values are faster but use more memory. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of URLs to check. Use this to control costs. ## Actor input object example ```json { "urls": [ "https://httpbin.org/status/200", "https://httpbin.org/redirect/2", "https://httpbin.org/status/404" ], "followRedirects": true, "maxRedirects": 10, "timeout": 30, "concurrency": 10, "maxResults": 100 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "urls": [ "https://httpbin.org/status/200", "https://httpbin.org/redirect/2", "https://httpbin.org/status/404" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("pink_comic/http-status-code-checker").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
