# Website Release Gate – Automated Prelaunch QA (`ultrahue/website-release-gate`) Actor Audit up to 25 public web pages and return structured PASS/FAIL release checks for metadata, accessibility basics, SEO signals, and broken links. - **URL**: https://apify.com/ultrahue/website-release-gate.md - **Developed by:** [Avis Choi](https://apify.com/ultrahue) (community) - **Categories:** SEO tools, Developer tools, Automation - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing from $10.00 / 1,000 audited pages This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. 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/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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 ## Website Release Gate Website Release Gate is a bounded acceptance test for websites produced by humans, agencies, no-code tools, or AI site builders. Give it up to 25 public pages and it returns one deterministic `PASS` or `FAIL` record per page. It checks: - HTTP status, HTTPS, content type, and response time - title, meta description, canonical URL, viewport, and HTML language - H1 count, missing image alt text, and accidental `noindex` - invalid JSON-LD - a bounded sample of same-origin links for broken destinations ### Why use it This Actor is meant to be a final gate before publishing or handing over a website. The result is structured JSON, so an AI agent or CI workflow can decide whether a release is safe without reading a long audit report. ### Input ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://example.com" } ], "minimumScore": 80, "maxLinksPerPage": 20 } ```` - `startUrls`: 1–25 public HTTP(S) pages. - `minimumScore`: 0–100. Default `80`. - `maxLinksPerPage`: 0–50 same-origin links sampled per page. Default `20`. Local/private addresses, credential-bearing URLs, large responses, and unsafe redirects are rejected. ### Output Each dataset item contains the release decision, score, metrics, issue codes, and checked links. A compact overall summary is also written to the `OUTPUT` key-value-store record. ### Pricing design The Actor supports Apify pay-per-event pricing through the `page-audited` event. It checks the customer's charge limit before each page, so it does not continue doing unpaid work after the limit is reached. Pricing must be enabled and the event defined in Apify Console before publication. Launch pricing: `$0.01` per audited page, plus Apify's `$0.00005` synthetic Actor-start event. The start event waives the first five seconds of platform usage. This pricing is a hypothesis, not proof of demand. ### Local development ```bash npm install npm run build npm test ``` To simulate pay-per-event locally, follow Apify's current SDK instructions and set `ACTOR_TEST_PAY_PER_EVENT=true`. # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Public HTTP or HTTPS pages. Private networks and localhost are blocked. ## `minimumScore` (type: `integer`): A page must meet this score and have no blocking errors to pass. ## `maxLinksPerPage` (type: `integer`): Keeps each run fast and predictable. Only same-origin links are sampled. ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://example.com" } ], "minimumScore": 80, "maxLinksPerPage": 20 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): Structured PASS/FAIL checks for every audited public page. ## `summary` (type: `string`): Overall counts and whether every audited page passed the selected threshold. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://example.com" } ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("ultrahue/website-release-gate").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
