Bulk URL Health Checker - Status, Redirects & SSL

Disclaimer: This Actor is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the owners of any website, service or document it processes. All trademarks mentioned are the property of their respective owners. Any site or brand names are referenced only to describe the content this Actor processes.

Check a whole list of URLs at once and get, for each one: the HTTP status, whether it is OK or broken, the full redirect chain and final URL, response time, content type and length, server and security headers, and - for https - the TLS certificate (issuer, validity, expiry date and days remaining).

Find broken links, unexpected redirects, slow pages and certificates about to expire across a site, a sitemap, or any URL list. Pure HTTP + a TLS handshake, no browser, cents per URL.

What you get per URL

Input

{
  "urls": ["https://apify.com", "example.com/old-page"],
  "checkSsl": true
}

• URLs - one per line; a bare domain gets https://. Leave empty for a small free sample.
• Import URLs from a file - paste a list, or link a public .txt/.csv, a Google Sheet/Drive link, or an Apify key-value-store record (e.g. pipe a sitemap's URLs straight in).
• Check TLS/SSL - on by default; turn off for a faster status-only run.
• Output fields - tick only the columns you need (e.g. just url + status + sslDaysRemaining).

Notes

• Uses a light HEAD request (falling back to GET when a server rejects it), so it is fast and cheap even on large lists.
• A URL that does not resolve or times out is reported with reachable: false and the error - that is a valid health result, so every checked URL is counted.

How much does it cost?

This Actor uses Apify's pay-per-event pricing: you are charged only for the results it delivers, with no monthly rental and no start fee. The events it can charge are:

• URL checked - One URL health-checked: HTTP status, redirect chain, response time, content type, server headers and TLS certificate (issuer, expiry, days remaining).

The current price of each event is shown on the Pricing tab of this page. Set a maximum total charge on the run if you want a hard cap on spend, and use the input limits to control how much the Actor fetches.

Use with AI assistants (MCP)

Available through the Apify MCP server - an agent can monitor a set of endpoints, audit a site's links, or watch certificate expiry as part of a workflow.

Agent-ready: autonomous payments (x402 & Skyfire)

This actor is agent-ready - AI agents can discover it, run it, and pay for it autonomously, with no Apify account and no human in the loop. It uses pay-per-event pricing and limited permissions, so it qualifies for Apify's agentic-payment standards:

• x402 - an open, HTTP-native payment protocol. Agents pay per run in USDC on the Base network directly through the Apify MCP server - no account, no API key.
• Skyfire - agent-to-service payments for fully autonomous AI-agent workflows.

Automate & schedule

Run this Actor on autopilot and pull results into your own stack:

• Apify API - start runs, fetch datasets and manage schedules over REST.
• apify-client for JavaScript and apify-client for Python - official SDKs.
• Schedules - run it hourly, daily or weekly and keep your dataset current.
• Webhooks - trigger downstream actions (CRM import, Slack alert, email sequence) the moment a run finishes.

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'MY_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('scrapesage/url-health-checker').call({
    "urls": [
        "https://apify.com"
    ],
    "checkSsl": true
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(`Got ${items.length} records`);

Integrate with any app

Connect the dataset to thousands of apps - no code required:

• Make - multi-step automation scenarios.
• Zapier - push new records straight into your CRM or spreadsheet.
• Slack - get notified when a scheduled run finds something new.
• Google Drive / Sheets - auto-export every run to a spreadsheet.
• Airbyte - pipe results into your data warehouse.
• GitHub - trigger runs from commits or releases.
