ApifyForge Quality Monitor

Audit every Apify actor in your account in one run

ApifyForge Quality Monitor scores every actor in your account on 8 quality dimensions, emits four routable qualityGates (storeReady, agentReady, monetizationReady, schemaReady), and returns fixSequence[] — a ranked list of the top 3 repair steps per actor, with expected point lift and time-to-fix on each. Results sorted worst-first so you can start fixing in the first 30 seconds. $0.15 per actor audited.

Fleet of 5 actors or 500 — one run, one dataset, one sorted fix queue. Scheduled weekly with webhook alerts, Quality Monitor catches silent quality bleed between builds before customers do.

What ApifyForge Quality Monitor checks

8-dimension scoring

Schema completeness, input guard presence, output contract, documentation quality, agent readiness, monetization readiness, Store discoverability, and runtime reliability. Combined into a 0–100 quality score.

qualityGates for automation

Four booleans agents and CI can branch on: storeReady (safe to publish), agentReady (LLM-friendly contract), monetizationReady (pricing + description complete), schemaReady (input + dataset schemas declared).

fixSequence[] ranked repairs

Per-actor top-3 fix list with expectedLift (score points gained) and timeToFix (minutes). Following fixSequence[0], [1], [2] typically lifts an actor by 20–40 points in under an hour.

Regression detection

Stores scores per actor in a per-actor Quality Profile (AQP). Each run computes delta.dimensionDeltas — per-dimension changes since last run. Flags drops of 10+ points as regressions.

Worst-first sort

Dataset is sorted ascending by quality score — the actor most in need of attention sits at item 0. Open the lowest-scoring actor and follow fixSequence. That's the 30-second triage loop.

KV summary + history

Each run writes a summary record to the default KV store (totals, median score, regressions count) and appends to history for trend comparison. Webhook on regression > 0 for live alerts.

Example ApifyForge Quality Monitor output

{
  "actorName": "ryanclinton/my-scraper",
  "score": 58,
  "qualityGates": {
    "storeReady": false,
    "agentReady": false,
    "monetizationReady": true,
    "schemaReady": false
  },
  "fixSequence": [
    { "priority": 1, "step": "Add dataset_schema.json", "expectedLift": 18, "timeToFix": 15 },
    { "priority": 2, "step": "Document enum fields in input_schema.json", "expectedLift": 12, "timeToFix": 25 },
    { "priority": 3, "step": "Add Responsible-use section to README", "expectedLift": 8, "timeToFix": 10 }
  ],

Follow fixSequence[0], [1], [2] — re-run — watch the rebound in delta.dimensionDeltas.

How ApifyForge Quality Monitor works

1

Run the actor — no input required when on Apify; your token is auto-injected

2

Quality Monitor scores every actor on 8 dimensions and compares against the previous run

3

Dataset sorted worst-first — open actor 0, follow fixSequence, re-run, watch the delta rebound

Limitations

  • 1.Metadata-based scoring. Quality Monitor scores declared schemas, README, descriptions, and public run metadata — not the actor's source code. Runtime behavior is scored indirectly via success rate and duration signals.
  • 2.Not a runtime tester. Quality Monitor does not execute the target actors. For runtime regression testing use Deploy Guard; for output validation use Output Guard.
  • 3.History requires scheduled runs. Regression detection compares against the previous audit — if you've never scheduled it, the first run has no baseline. Schedule weekly for meaningful deltas.
  • 4.No Store-wide benchmarking. Quality Monitor scores your own account, not third-party actors across the Store. For third-party actor risk, see Compliance Scanner.
  • 5.Requires Apify token with read access. Restricted tokens can score actors they can read, but can't write to the per-actor Quality Profile — you lose history tracking until the token is upgraded.

What ApifyForge Quality Monitor costs

$0.15 per actor audited, charged as pay-per-event on your own Apify account. Fleet of 10 = $1.50 per run. Fleet of 50 = $7.50. Fleet of 200 = $30. Scheduled weekly, that's $6/month for a 10-actor fleet or $120/month for a 200-actor fleet — typically an order of magnitude cheaper than the first quality-related customer complaint you avoid.

Frequently asked questions

What does ApifyForge Quality Monitor score?

Each actor is scored on 8 quality dimensions: schema completeness, input guard presence, output contract, documentation quality, agent readiness (typed contract, stable enums, categories, changelog), monetization readiness, Store discoverability, and runtime reliability signals. The scores are combined into a 0–100 quality score and four boolean qualityGates (storeReady, agentReady, monetizationReady, schemaReady).

What is fixSequence[] and how do I use it?

fixSequence[] is a ranked list of the top 3 repair steps for each actor, ordered by expected point lift. Each entry carries expectedLift (how many quality-score points you gain), timeToFix (rough minutes), and step-by-step fix instructions. Working through fixSequence[0], [1], [2] typically lifts an actor by 20–40 points and flips one or more qualityGates to true. This is the fastest path to improving any single actor.

How does regression detection work?

Quality Monitor stores every run's scores in a per-actor quality profile (AQP). On each run, it computes delta.dimensionDeltas — per-dimension score change since the previous run. If any dimension drops more than 10 points, it flags a regression. This catches silent quality bleed — an actor that was storeReady last week but isn't anymore — before it affects customers.

What happens if my actor has no input_schema.json?

Quality Monitor flags schemaReady: false and drops the schema completeness dimension to 0. The other dimensions still score. A missing input schema is one of the top-three most common score hits — adding even a minimal schema typically lifts an actor by 15 points.

Can I run Quality Monitor on actors I don't own?

Yes — Quality Monitor reads public actor metadata (name, description, categories, input/dataset schemas, README) to compute scores. It does not need access to the actor's source code or runtime logs. Scoring third-party actors is useful when picking between Store alternatives before committing to one.

How often should I run it?

Weekly is a good cadence for active fleets. Schedule it via Apify to run every Monday morning; webhook on regressions where any dimension drops more than 10 points. Daily is overkill unless you're shipping multiple builds per day — most dimensions don't move that fast.
