## Pricing

from $1.17 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. 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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Web Form Security & Privacy Auditor

Inspect public HTML pages for forms, password fields, insecure actions, sensitive GET submissions, and practical web form security and privacy issues.

### Why use this Actor

This QuanMatrix Actor turns one focused web-quality problem into deterministic structured data for QA, monitoring, audits and batch workflows. It is intentionally narrow: explicit evidence, predictable output, minimal setup and low runtime cost. No paid external API or external AI service is required.

### Key features

- Public URL and redirect safety validation.
- One structured dataset item per URL with score and explicit issue codes.
- Low-resource HTTP or HTML inspection designed for repeatable automation.
- Clear failure records rather than silently dropping blocked targets.
- Focused domain logic, safety-aware networking and automation-ready evidence.

### Input

Provide a JSON object containing a `urls` array of up to 100 public HTTP or HTTPS URLs.

```json
{"urls":["https://example.com","https://www.python.org"]}
```

### Output

Every URL yields `input`, final `url`, `ok`, HTTP `status`, numeric `score`, an `issues` array, and audit-specific evidence fields. Results are suitable for spreadsheets, dashboards, CI checks and scheduled monitoring.

### Example

```json
{"input":"https://example.com","url":"https://example.com","ok":true,"status":200,"score":100,"issues":[]}
```

### Use cases

- Pre-release web and API QA.
- Agency audits across client URL lists.
- Scheduled configuration-drift monitoring.
- Technical SEO, security and developer checklists.
- Pipelines needing clean JSON rather than screenshots or prose.

### Pricing

Planned pricing is **$0.0015 USD per result**. Charging per result keeps costs transparent. Pricing should be revisited from adoption, conversion, runtime cost, competitive saturation and margin evidence.

### Limitations

- JavaScript-rendered forms may not appear in server HTML.
- This is surface-level configuration auditing, not vulnerability exploitation.
- Server-side validation and CSRF defenses are not fully observable from HTML.

This Actor reports observable configuration or server-delivered HTML evidence. Broader browser, authenticated, exploit, search-engine or server-side testing may still be required.

### Privacy and permissions

Only public HTTP/HTTPS targets are accepted. Private, loopback, link-local and reserved destinations are rejected. Minimal runtime permissions are used and no credentials are requested.

# 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 '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("quanmatrix/web-form-security-privacy-auditor").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);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("quanmatrix/web-form-security-privacy-auditor").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call quanmatrix/web-form-security-privacy-auditor --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,quanmatrix/web-form-security-privacy-auditor"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
