# Find 302 temporary redirects that should be 301 permanent

**Use case:** 

Find redirects that use 302/307 (temporary) where a permanent 301/308 is expected. Each row shows every hop with its status code and a TEMPORARY_REDIRECT issue code, so you can hand developers an exact fix list.

## Input

```json
{
  "urls": [
    "https://httpbin.org/redirect-to?url=https://example.com/",
    "http://github.com",
    "http://apify.com"
  ],
  "maxItems": 0,
  "maxRedirects": 10,
  "userAgent": "browser",
  "followMetaRefresh": true,
  "ignoreTrailingSlash": true,
  "ignoreQueryString": false,
  "maxConcurrency": 10,
  "requestTimeoutSecs": 15
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "url": {
    "label": "Start URL",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "status": {
    "label": "Status",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "redirectChain": {
    "label": "Chain",

  },
  "redirectCount": {

    "format": "integer"
  },
  "issues": {

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Bulk Redirect Checker: 301 Chains, Loops & Redirect Maps](https://apify.com/quanta1810/bulk-redirect-checker.md) with a specific input configuration.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/quanta1810/bulk-redirect-checker.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
