## Pricing

from $1.00 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

## DMARC Checker

Bulk DMARC record lookup tool. Check email security configuration for multiple domains in a single run.

### Description

DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance) is an email authentication protocol that helps protect domains from unauthorized use like phishing and spoofing. This tool allows you to quickly verify DMARC records for one or thousands of domains at once.

Perfect for:

- **Agencies** auditing client email security
- **IT teams** checking domain portfolios
- **Security researchers** bulk-scanning domains
- **Sales teams** qualifying leads by tech maturity

### Features

- **Bulk Processing** — Check unlimited domains in a single run
- **Instant Results** — Get DMARC status, policy, and reporting configuration for each domain
- **Export Ready** — Download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel
- **Detailed Output** — See the full raw DMARC record for each domain
- **Validation** — Automatically detects valid, invalid, and missing DMARC records

### How to Use

1. Enter your domain name(s) (one per line or use bulk edit)
2. Click **Start**
3. View results in the Output tab or export to your preferred format

No technical setup required. Just add your domains and run.

### Input

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| **Domains** | List of domain names to check. Enter bare domain names only (e.g., `example.com`). Do not include `http://` or `https://`. |

### Output

Each domain returns one row with the following fields:

| Field | Description | Example Values |
|-------|-------------|----------------|
| `domain` | The domain checked | `example.com` |
| `recordStatus` | Whether a valid DMARC record exists | `Valid` / `Invalid` / `Not Found` |
| `domainPolicy` | The DMARC policy (p= tag) | `none` / `quarantine` / `reject` |
| `reportingEnabled` | Whether reporting is configured (rua/ruf tags) | `true` / `false` |
| `rawRecord` | The full DMARC TXT record | `v=DMARC1; p=reject; rua=mailto:...` |

#### Record Status Meanings

- **Valid** — DMARC record exists with proper version (v=DMARC1) and policy (p=) tags
- **Invalid** — Record exists but is malformed (missing version or policy)
- **Not Found** — No DMARC record found at `_dmarc.{domain}`

# Actor input Schema

## `domains` (type: `array`):

Enter domain names to check (no http/https, just bare domain names like example.com)

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "domains": [
    "onescales.com"
  ]
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `dmarcResults` (type: `string`):

DMARC record lookup results for all domains

# 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 = {
    "domains": [
        "onescales.com"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("onescales/dmarc-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 = { "domains": ["onescales.com"] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("onescales/dmarc-checker").call(run_input=run_input)

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

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "domains": [
    "onescales.com"
  ]
}' |
apify call onescales/dmarc-checker --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,onescales/dmarc-checker"
        }
    }
}
```

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