Site QA Broken Link Report Scraper

Site owners, agencies, and QA teams use this actor to turn public web pages into source-linked QA issues and report rows.

Input public URLs you are allowed to audit.

Get billable issue rows, report rows, and optional export rows instead of paying only for raw page snapshots.

Store Quickstart

1. Start with the first input example below using dryRun=false.
2. Keep emitUnchanged=false so repeated no-change runs emit zero rows and zero charges.
3. Use report/export events for recurring monitoring and client handoff.

Run the next report

• Run page content QA with Site QA Content Report Scraper when broken links need surrounding content context.
• Run crawler readiness reporting with Site QA Indexability AI Crawler Report Scraper when broken URL patterns affect robots, sitemap, or AI crawler visibility.
