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.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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 ## SEO Site Audit Scraper: On-Page Issues for Every Page Run a technical SEO audit on any website and get one clean JSON row per page. Each row carries the on-page facts (title, meta description, H1s, canonical, robots directives, image alt coverage, word count, structured data, redirect chain, response time) plus a ready-made `issues` list, so you can filter straight to the problems. No browser, no API key, no seat license. Built for SEO agencies and freelancers who deliver recurring audits, in-house teams watching their own sites, and anyone wiring SEO health into a dashboard. Put it on a weekly schedule per client site and diff the issues over time. ### What you get One row per audited page, with: - `title`, `titleLength`, `metaDescription`, `metaDescriptionLength`, `metaRobots`, `canonical`, `lang` - `h1Count`, `firstH1`, `h2Count`, `wordCount`, `structuredDataBlocks`, `hasOgTitle` - `imageCount`, `imagesMissingAlt` - `httpStatus`, `redirectChain`, `redirectHops`, `responseMs`, `htmlBytes` - `internalLinkCount`, `externalLinkCount`, `brokenLinks` (URL + status), `brokenLinkCount` - `issues` — e.g. `missing_meta_description`, `title_too_long`, `duplicate_title`, `multiple_h1`, `noindex`, `redirect_chain`, `broken_internal_links`, `thin_content`, `images_missing_alt` - `issueCount`, `depth`, `auditedAt` Duplicate titles and meta descriptions are detected across the whole crawl, not per page. ### Input - `startUrls` (pages to start from) - `maxPages` (default 20, up to 1000) - `maxDepth` (default 3) - `includePatterns` / `excludePatterns` (URL substring filters) - `checkBrokenLinks` (HEAD-check every discovered internal link once, default on) - `useSitemap` (seed the crawl from sitemap.xml) ### Example input ```json { "startUrls": ["https://example.com"], "maxPages": 100, "useSitemap": true, "checkBrokenLinks": true } ```` ### Example output ```json { "url": "https://example.com/pricing", "httpStatus": 200, "redirectHops": 0, "title": "Pricing", "titleLength": 7, "metaDescription": null, "h1Count": 2, "wordCount": 96, "imagesMissingAlt": 4, "brokenLinkCount": 1, "brokenLinks": [{ "url": "https://example.com/old-plans", "status": 404 }], "issues": ["title_too_short", "missing_meta_description", "multiple_h1", "thin_content", "images_missing_alt", "broken_internal_links"], "issueCount": 6, "responseMs": 312 } ``` ### Uses - Weekly scheduled audit per client site; diff `issues` against last week and report changes - Pre-launch checks: crawl staging, fail the deploy if `noindex` or broken links appear - Content audits: find thin pages, missing metas, and duplicate titles at scale - Feed an agency dashboard or a white-label report with structured rows instead of CSV exports - Chain with the Website Tech Stack Detector and Website Contact Scraper on the same domains ### Pricing Pay per audited page. Unreachable URLs and non-HTML responses are never pushed or charged, and the broken-link HEAD checks are free. The first 2 pages of every run are free so you can validate output before you scale up. ### Notes - Plain HTTP fetching: server-rendered and statically generated sites (most marketing sites, blogs, docs, stores) audit accurately. Single-page apps that render everything client-side are out of scope. - Redirects are followed manually so `redirectChain` shows every hop with its status code. # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Pages to start crawling from. The crawler follows same-site links breadth-first up to Max pages / Max depth. ## `maxPages` (type: `integer`): Hard cap on pages audited per run. Controls total cost. ## `maxDepth` (type: `integer`): 0 audits only the start URLs, 1 adds pages they link to, and so on. ## `includePatterns` (type: `array`): If set, only URLs containing at least one of these substrings are crawled (start URLs are always fetched). Example: /blog/ ## `excludePatterns` (type: `array`): URLs containing any of these substrings are skipped. ## `checkBrokenLinks` (type: `boolean`): HEAD-check every discovered internal link once and report broken ones per page. Adds a little time, no extra charge. ## `useSitemap` (type: `boolean`): Also seed the crawl with URLs from the site's sitemap.xml (subject to the same filters and caps). ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Optional. Auditing your own or client sites needs no proxy. ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrls": [ "https://books.toscrape.com/" ], "maxPages": 20, "maxDepth": 3, "includePatterns": [], "excludePatterns": [], "checkBrokenLinks": true, "useSitemap": false, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ``` # 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://books.toscrape.com/" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("scrapemint/seo-site-audit-scraper").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 📖?
