Who this is for: Technical SEO and migration QA teams.

What you actually get: Find absent, multiple or insecure canonical URLs for individual public pages.

Try one public URL first

Input example:

{"urls":["https://scrapeme.live/shop/Pikachu/"]}

What to do next: Check representative product, article and category URLs before site release.

Pricing: Pay per event; view this Actor’s live Pricing tab before larger batches. A successfully processed page can be billable even when no issue is detected. Results can be exported as JSON or CSV.

Important limits: Canonical hints do not guarantee search-engine index selection. Supports applicable static public HTTPS metadata only, without site logins or JavaScript rendering.

PAL Canonical URL Audit

Analyze canonical URL tags for missing, multiple or non-HTTPS targets.

Ideal users and practical workflow

Best for: SEO specialists, store owners and content teams.

What it checks: Analyze canonical URL tags for missing, multiple or non-HTTPS targets. Upload a short list of public HTTPS URLs to receive an individual evidence-based record and issue flags per page. Review the flagged URLs first, then export the Dataset as JSON or CSV for your team's workflow.

When it is useful: Before releasing a new page, after a redesign, or during a monthly search-indexing review.

What it does not do: It does not crawl an entire website automatically, render JavaScript, guarantee a search ranking, or change the target site. Check the exact limitations below before purchasing runs.

Why use this PAL Actor?

Get a structured, repeatable report for this specific issue without opening dozens of webpages by hand. Each input URL is analyzed independently. The output identifies data found on the page and flags likely omissions for manual review. Save output in Apify Dataset and export to JSON, CSV or Excel.

Example input

{"urls": ["https://scrapeme.live/shop/Pikachu/"]}

Results

Each successful fetch produces a Dataset row with sourceUrl, finalUrl, mode, issueCount, issues and details. Issue flags indicate markup detected in static HTML; they are not a guarantee of legal compliance, accessibility certification, search rank, or a live inventory position. Missing data can be published through JavaScript or other channels not read here.

Billing

Pay per event: pal-canonical is triggered for each successfully fetched and audited page at the price displayed by Apify Store. URL errors generate a free error row. Maximum 18 URLs per run. No paid API keys, logins, or third-party services required.

Technical limits

Public HTTPS only; no JavaScript rendering, captcha bypass or private pages. Each response is at most 1.5 MB, 11-second network timeout. The site may block bots. Output reflects visible HTML at retrieval time, not a complete website audit. Running the Actor does not itself fix issues.
