## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

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 examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

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`).

# README

## Impressum & Datenschutz Checker (Germany)

Check German websites in bulk for the legal basics that most often lead to warning letters (Abmahnungen). For every site the Actor finds the Impressum and the privacy policy, checks them and returns a score with concrete fixes in German.

### What it checks

**Impressum (§ 5 DDG)**

- full address, email, phone
- register number and court for GmbH, UG, e.K., KG and similar
- VAT ID (USt-IdNr.)
- outdated reference to § 5 TMG (replaced by the DDG in May 2024)
- link to the EU ODR platform, which was switched off on 20 July 2025

**Datenschutzerklärung**

- controller named, GDPR legal bases, data subject rights, right to complain to a supervisory authority
- outdated name TTDSG (now TDDDG)

**Homepage**

- Google Fonts loaded from Google servers
- tracking (Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Hotjar, TikTok) without a known consent tool

### Input

```json
{ "urls": ["example.de", "another-shop.de"] }
```

### Output

```json
{
  "url": "https://example.de/",
  "score": 91,
  "grade": "gut",
  "issues": [{ "id": "authority", "weight": 4, "hint": "Kein Hinweis auf das Beschwerderecht bei einer Aufsichtsbehörde." }],
  "trackersDetected": [],
  "impressumUrl": "https://example.de/impressum",
  "datenschutzUrl": "https://example.de/datenschutz"
}
```

### Use cases

- Agencies: check client and prospect websites before a relaunch
- Shops and service businesses: quick self-check
- Lead generation: find businesses with outdated legal pages

### Important

This is an automated, pattern-based check. It can miss things and it is **not legal advice**. Have a lawyer review legal texts. The Actor only reads public pages.

# 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 '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "urls": [
        "www.noir-schluesseldienst.de"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("webify-lab/legal-pages-checker-de").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);
});

from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "urls": ["www.noir-schluesseldienst.de"] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("webify-lab/legal-pages-checker-de").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "urls": [
    "www.noir-schluesseldienst.de"
  ]
}' |
apify call webify-lab/legal-pages-checker-de --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,webify-lab/legal-pages-checker-de"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
