Bulk URL Health Checker - Status, Redirects & SSL

Check a whole list of URLs at once and get, for each one: the HTTP status, whether it is OK or broken, the full redirect chain and final URL, response time, content type and length, server and security headers, and - for https - the TLS certificate (issuer, validity, expiry date and days remaining).

Find broken links, unexpected redirects, slow pages and certificates about to expire across a site, a sitemap, or any URL list. Pure HTTP + a TLS handshake, no browser, cents per URL.

Input

{
  "urls": ["https://apify.com", "example.com/old-page"],
  "checkSsl": true
}

• URLs - one per line; a bare domain gets https://. Leave empty for a small free sample.
• Import URLs from a file - paste a list, or link a public .txt/.csv, a Google Sheet/Drive link, or an Apify key-value-store record (e.g. pipe a sitemap's URLs straight in).
• Check TLS/SSL - on by default; turn off for a faster status-only run.
• Output fields - tick only the columns you need (e.g. just url + status + sslDaysRemaining).

Notes

• Uses a light HEAD request (falling back to GET when a server rejects it), so it is fast and cheap even on large lists.
• A URL that does not resolve or times out is reported with reachable: false and the error - that is a valid health result, so every checked URL is counted.

Use with AI assistants (MCP)

Available through the Apify MCP server - an agent can monitor a set of endpoints, audit a site's links, or watch certificate expiry as part of a workflow.

Agent-ready: autonomous payments (x402 & Skyfire)

This actor is agent-ready - AI agents can discover it, run it, and pay for it autonomously, with no Apify account and no human in the loop. It uses pay-per-event pricing and limited permissions, so it qualifies for Apify's agentic-payment standards:

• x402 - an open, HTTP-native payment protocol. Agents pay per run in USDC on the Base network directly through the Apify MCP server - no account, no API key.
• Skyfire - agent-to-service payments for fully autonomous AI-agent workflows.
