Bulk URL Status Checker

What you get: one row per URL with the HTTP status code, final URL after redirects, the redirect chain, response time, content type and whether the TLS certificate is valid.

Sample output from a real run (2026-10-18, the "Recommended first run" input below, 2 rows):

url	statusCode	status	finalUrl	redirectChain	responseTimeMs	sslValid
https://example.com	200	success	https://example.com	[]	23	true
https://example.com/docs	404	client_error	https://example.com/docs	[]	24	true

That run was one Actor start ($0.001) + 2 URL rows × $0.008 = $0.017. Every checked URL is one billable row, including healthy 200 responses.

Run the next report

• Turn status and redirect findings into a source-linked report/export handoff with Site QA Broken Link Report Scraper.
• Turn the same URL set into a content issue report with Site QA Content Report Scraper.
• Run an indexability and crawler-access report with Site QA Indexability AI Crawler Report Scraper.

SEO teams, site migration teams, QA teams, and web operations use this actor to turn URL lists supplied by the user into a clean dataset for Site QA & Content Intelligence Pack. Provide focused source inputs, keep the first run small, and expand only after the output shape is useful. Each emitted row includes source context, timestamps, and fields designed for monitoring, QA, research, or workflow handoff.

Store Quickstart

Start with a small URL list as the source step for a value workflow. Confirm status and redirect findings, then send the same URLs to the linked broken-link, content, or indexability report actor.

Recommended first run:

{
  "urls": [
    "https://example.com",
    "https://example.com/docs"
  ],
  "followRedirects": true,
  "delivery": "dataset",
  "dryRun": false
}

Raw status sample (real output row)

Row for the 404 URL from the real run above:

{
  "url": "https://example.com/docs",
  "statusCode": 404,
  "redirectChain": [],
  "finalUrl": "https://example.com/docs",
  "responseTimeMs": 24,
  "contentType": "text/html; charset=utf-8",
  "sslValid": true,
  "error": null,
  "checkedAt": "2026-10-18T11:43:36.091Z",
  "status": "client_error",
  "chargedEvent": "apify-default-dataset-item"
}

Output fields

• url — the URL you supplied
• statusCode — final HTTP status code
• status — success, client_error, server_error or a fetch error class
• finalUrl — URL after redirects
• redirectChain — each redirect hop
• responseTimeMs — response time in milliseconds
• contentType — response Content-Type
• sslValid — whether the TLS certificate validated
• error — fetch error message, if any
• checkedAt — when the URL was checked

Pricing and no-change runs

$0.001 per Actor start and $0.008 per URL row. Every URL you submit produces one row (healthy 200 responses included), so 10 URLs cost $0.001 + 10 × $0.008 = $0.081.

The default dataset is the billable surface. Dry runs, validation-only runs, missing-key warnings, and unchanged recurring polls should not write payable default-dataset rows.

Compliance guardrails

• Check supplied public URLs with reasonable concurrency.
• Use for migration QA, SEO, and site operations.
• Do not use aggressive settings against third-party infrastructure.
• Do not use provider emblems or wording that implies approval by an upstream data provider.
