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/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 ## Sitemap Health Validator — XML Sitemap SEO Audit Valide les **sitemaps XML** de n'importe quel site contre le protocole sitemaps.org : structure, **limites de 50 000 URLs / 50 Mo par fichier**, balises `` malformées, dates `` invalides, priorités hors plage, URLs non-http(s). Suit automatiquement les sitemap index. Idéal pour : SEO technique, contrôle qualité avant soumission à Google Search Console, audit de migration. > Complémentaire de notre **Sitemap URL Extractor** : celui-ci **valide la santé** du sitemap ; l'autre en **extrait les URLs**. **Exemple de résultat :** ```json { "sitemapUrl": "https://example.com/sitemap.xml", "type": "urlset", "valid": false, "entryCount": 12000, "fileSizeMB": 2.4, "errorCount": 1, "errors": ["3 avec une URL invalide ou non-http(s)."], "warnings": ["12 au format de date invalide."], "scrapedAt": "2026-07-10T10:30:00.000Z" } ```` ### Comment l'utiliser 1. Collez l'URL de votre **sitemap.xml** (ou la page d'accueil du site) 2. Cliquez sur **Start** — chaque fichier sitemap est analysé et noté ### Combien ça coûte ? | Événement | Prix | |---|---| | Démarrage du run | 0,005 $ | | Par sitemap analysé | 0,0002 $ | **Exemple : un site avec 50 sous-sitemaps ≈ 0,015 $.** ### Ce qui est vérifié - Type valide (`urlset` ou `sitemapindex`) - Limites du protocole : ≤ 50 000 URLs et ≤ 50 Mo par fichier - `` présentes et URLs absolues http(s) - `` au format date W3C - `` dans la plage 0.0–1.0 - Content-Type de réponse cohérent ### Limitations - Ne vérifie pas si les URLs listées répondent en 200 (utilisez notre Broken Link Checker pour ça) - Les sitemaps compressés `.gz` ne sont pas décompressés ### FAQ **Puis-je l'utiliser via API ?** Oui, appelable par API et via MCP. # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): URL d'un sitemap.xml, ou la page d'accueil (l'Actor tente /sitemap.xml). Les sitemap index sont suivis. ## `maxSitemaps` (type: `integer`): Budget : nombre de fichiers sitemap analysés (index + enfants). ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Configuration proxy. Le proxy Apify par défaut convient dans la plupart des cas. ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrls": [ "https://www.apify.com/sitemap.xml" ], "maxSitemaps": 200, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "startUrls": [ "https://www.apify.com/sitemap.xml" ], "maxSitemaps": 200, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("q_services/sitemap-health-validator").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
