# Audit a small website by following its internal links

**Use case:** 

Start from one home page and let the actor follow internal links, in robots.txt rules, up to a page limit per site: here 12 pages of a public website. Each page gets its on-page SEO fields, issue codes and score, so you can sort by score and see the weakest pages first.

## Input

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://nodejs.org/en"
  ],
  "crawl": true,
  "maxPagesPerSite": 12,
  "maxItems": 0,
  "onlyNew": false,
  "stateName": "default",
  "notifyWhenEmpty": false,
  "requestIntervalMs": 1000
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "url": {
    "label": "Address that was requested",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "score": {
    "label": "Score from 0 to 100: 100 minus the points of each issue (the weights are in the README)",
    "format": "integer"
  },
  "issueCount": {
    "label": "Number of issue codes",
    "format": "integer"
  },
  "issues": {
    "label": "Issue codes found on the page, separated by comma and space (null when none); the list of codes is in the README",
    "format": "string"
  }
}
```

## 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/rowcraft/seo-audit-tool.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`).
