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.
Licensed news infrastructure and a real-time News API built for AI
Query breaking news in under 100 ms or search archived coverage across years and decades through one consistent API.
A multi-step, self-learning agent that iterates, branches and verifies across paywalled news, the open web, X, Wikipedia and more for deep research questions.
Schedule monitoring of topics, companies and events, receive recurring reports, and follow how narratives evolve with analytics and change logs.
