## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. 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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Robots Noindex Conflict Checker

Compare supplied robots.txt rules with page-level noindex evidence and identify blocked URLs whose noindex directive may not be observed.

### Inputs

- `inputItems`
- `maxPages`
- `includeReport`
- `maxChargeUsd`

```json
{
  "inputItems": [
    {
      "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:UserLogin",
      "robotsUrl": "https://en.wikipedia.org/robots.txt",
      "statusCode": 200,
      "robotsTxt": "User-agent: *\nDisallow: /w/\nDisallow: /wiki/Special:",
      "pageHeaders": {
        "content-type": "text/html; charset=UTF-8"
      },
      "html": "<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex,nofollow,max-image-preview:standard\">"
    }
  ],
  "maxPages": 1,
  "includeReport": true,
  "maxChargeUsd": 1
}
```

The bundled exact input combines the public Wikipedia robots rule for `/wiki/Special:` with the public noindex meta directive observed on `Special:UserLogin` at 2026-07-12T05:17:40Z.

### Dataset

The actor emits structured, actor-specific evidence rows. Empty source input produces no dataset rows.

### Billing

This actor uses pay-per-event billing with platform usage included in the configured event prices:

- `actor-start`
- `page-audited`
- `rule-parsed`
- `finding-emitted`
- `audit-report-generated`

Every dataset row and report artifact is charge-gated. A zero-dollar cap stops before work with no paid output.

### Use Cases

- Find a robots path-prefix conflict
- Check an X-Robots-Tag conflict
- Check a meta robots conflict
- Verify a page has no robots/noindex conflict
- Export robots/noindex conflict evidence

### Limitations

The actor evaluates supplied robots and page observations and does not crawl URLs. Disallow matching uses path prefixes for the supplied user-agent context and does not implement every robots exclusion extension.

# Actor input Schema

## `inputItems` (type: `array`):

Pages with robots.txt, headers, and HTML observations.

## `maxPages` (type: `integer`):

Hard cap for paid page rows.

## `includeReport` (type: `boolean`):

Create charged Markdown and JSON report artifacts.

## `maxChargeUsd` (type: `number`):

Stop before an event would exceed this run budget.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "inputItems": [
    {
      "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:UserLogin",
      "robotsUrl": "https://en.wikipedia.org/robots.txt",
      "statusCode": 200,
      "robotsTxt": "User-agent: *\nDisallow: /w/\nDisallow: /wiki/Special:",
      "pageHeaders": {
        "content-type": "text/html; charset=UTF-8"
      },
      "html": "<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex,nofollow,max-image-preview:standard\">"
    }
  ],
  "maxPages": 1,
  "includeReport": true,
  "maxChargeUsd": 1
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `dataset` (type: `string`):

Structured rows emitted by the actor.

## `report` (type: `string`):

Run summary report stored in the default key-value store.

# 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 = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("junipr/robots-noindex-conflict-checker").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);
});

## Python example

```python
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 = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("junipr/robots-noindex-conflict-checker").call(run_input=run_input)

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