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.

Runtime security that decides what your AI agents are allowed to do
Wrap agent tool calls and get a typed decision - allow, block, redact or hold for review - before the tool actually executes, based on actor, role, route and typed inputs.
Screen user input, fetched web pages, API responses and tool output for hostile instructions before anything reaches the model context.
Detect and strip names, addresses, national IDs, bank and card numbers before they reach model context, logs or third-party tools, with optional in-process local detection.
Bot protection, WAF rules, rate limiting, signup form protection and email validation to keep public endpoints and signup flows clean.
