## 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.

### Public Task Concepts
- Audit Accessibility Quick controls on a capped public page set
- Find high-priority Accessibility Quick issues before release
- Validate Accessibility Quick evidence from supplied pages
- Prioritize Accessibility Quick fixes with severity and proof
- Export Accessibility Quick QA rows for client review
Run lightweight accessibility checks for labels, alt text, headings, basic contrast hints, and structure.
### What This Actor Does
Accessibility Quick Auditor runs a focused static accessibility pass over supplied or fetched HTML. It reports missing image alternatives, unlabeled controls, heading-level skips, missing H1 and document language, duplicate IDs, unnamed links/buttons, and low-contrast inline color hints.
Each dataset row includes the exact signal counts and structural evidence used for its result. This is a quick preflight for content and QA teams, not a claim of full WCAG conformance.
### What This Actor Does Not Do
- It does not provide legal, medical, financial, investment, safety, or compliance advice.
- It does not guarantee completeness of any public source or third-party dataset.
- It does not collect sensitive personal data by default.
- It does not rely on unsupported private APIs.
- It does not certify WCAG or legal compliance.
### Best Use Cases
- quick accessibility triage
- label and heading checks
- alt-text and structure review

### Cost-Control Tips
- Keep `maxItems` small for default and scheduled checks.
- Use supplied records or snapshots for deterministic QA runs.
- Leave `fetchUrls` off unless live source fetching is explicitly needed.
- Review warning rows before increasing caps.
- Schedule small frequent runs instead of broad one-off sweeps.
### Scheduling Examples
- Daily watchlist check with two to five high-value records.
- Weekly QA run before publishing a site, data, or actor update.
- Pre-release accessibility preflight on a small page set.
### Public Task Examples
- Audit accessibility basics on a capped set of public pages.
- Find unlabeled controls and unnamed interactive elements before release.
- Check heading structure and document language across supplied snapshots.
- Export accessibility evidence rows for a client QA review.
- Monitor high-value templates for recurring structural regressions.
### FAQ
#### Can I use this with live URLs?
Yes. Supply `urls` and enable `fetchUrls`. For JavaScript-rendered DOM state, provide captured HTML from a browser or use a dedicated rendered-page accessibility tool.
#### Why does it charge before pushing output?
The actor charges before paid output. When the charge cap is reached, it stops cleanly without emitting unpaid rows.
#### What happens on charge limits?
The actor stops gracefully and writes a summary instead of pushing unpaid result rows.
#### Is this legal, financial, safety, or compliance advice?
No. The actor produces operational signals and structured data for review. Human owners remain responsible for decisions.
### Troubleshooting
- If the dataset is empty, check that `maxItems` is greater than zero and that records are supplied or defaults are enabled.
- If a record is flagged unexpectedly, inspect `issueCodes`, `matchedKeywords`, and the normalized metadata preview.
- If live fetching fails, rerun with supplied record bodies or snapshots and keep `fetchUrls` false.
### Limitations
Checks are based on supplied/fetched HTML and inline color pairs. Computed CSS, focus order, keyboard operation, live regions, dynamic ARIA state, media alternatives, and assistive-technology behavior require browser and manual testing.
### Source And Safety Notes
Use public or permissioned pages and do not include credentials or private user data. Treat results as prioritized QA evidence, not legal advice.
### Changelog
- 2026-07-10: Added structural accessibility evidence, contrast hints, honest fetch diagnostics, and expanded regression coverage.

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 ` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
