# Bulk check HTTP status codes of a URL list (200, 404, 500)

**Use case:** 

Check ten URLs at once and get the HTTP status code, final URL after redirects, response time and server for each. The example mixes healthy pages (python.org, MDN, Wikipedia) with a 404, a 500 and a moved Node.js page. Paste your own list of up to 100,000 URLs to find dead pages before your users or Google do.

```json
{
  "urls": [

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Bulk URL Status Checker - HTTP Status & 301 Redirect Checker](https://apify.com/tidytools/bulk-url-status-checker.md) with a specific input configuration.

## 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/tidytools/bulk-url-status-checker.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`).
