Run thousands of ready-made web scrapers and AI agents from one cloud platform
Over one hundred thousand ready-to-run scrapers and automation tools covering social media, maps, e-commerce, real estate, and general web crawling.
Connect Apify Actors directly to AI assistants and agents so they can search the store, run scrapers, and pull structured results as tool calls.
Managed proxy rotation and unblocking are built into the platform, so scrapers keep working when target sites add defenses.
An open-source crawling library plus Python and JavaScript SDKs for building custom Actors with Playwright, Puppeteer, Selenium, or Cheerio.

Archal — Stateful simulated environments
Spin up environments for GitHub, Slack, Stripe, Linear, Supabase, Datadog, HubSpot, Jira and more that persist mutations during a run and reset to a declared baseline on demand.
Call environments through familiar REST paths and payloads or through MCP tools, so existing agent code and tool definitions work with minimal changes.
A single API key creates and manages every sandbox and environment, with shared gateway routing while each environment keeps its own endpoint and readiness state.
Combine every environment a workflow needs into one sandbox, giving each its own readiness state and endpoint so end-to-end agent flows can be tested together.
