Actor Input Schema Preflight — Store Test Readiness

Check an Apify Actor input schema before publishing. The report focuses on a specific failure mode that can put an otherwise working Actor under maintenance: required fields that Apify's automated Store test cannot populate from prefill values.

What it checks

• the input-schema root and property map;
• required fields that are missing from properties;
• missing required-field prefill values;
• prefill type and enum mismatches;
• optional actor.json exampleRunInput.body coverage;
• deterministic test input generated from valid prefills.

The Actor returns one bounded report. It does not read your Actor source, token, environment variables, datasets, logs, or private Store configuration. Do not paste credentials or real customer data into either JSON field.

Quick start

{
  "inputSchemaText": "{\"title\":\"Example input\",\"type\":\"object\",\"schemaVersion\":1,\"required\":[\"url\"],\"properties\":{\"url\":{\"type\":\"string\",\"prefill\":\"https://example.com\"}}}"
}

Interpreting the report

• FAIL means a static schema defect can prevent deterministic automated-test input.
• REVIEW means static checks passed but runtime success still needs proof.
• automatedTestReady covers only the statically testable input contract.

Apify's runtime test remains the authority: run recommendedTestInput, require status SUCCEEDED, a non-empty default dataset, and completion within five minutes. This Actor cannot prove runtime output, proxy behavior, upstream availability, permissions, pricing, or final Store quality score.

Pricing

The configured Store price is US$0.005 per report. Apify may also show a platform start charge. Always check the live Pricing tab before running.

Privacy and security

• Input is parsed in memory and is not logged.
• Unknown top-level fields and oversized JSON are rejected.
• Findings contain field names, not pasted schema values.
• No network request is made by the preflight logic.
• The dataset contains only the report, generated test input, attribution label, and evaluation timestamp.

Support

Open an Actor issue with the run ID and finding codes. Do not include an Apify token, secret schema values, private datasets, or customer records.
