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.
The social media API and MCP server for AI agents
A single create_post call publishes to X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Threads, Bluesky and Pinterest without per-platform SDKs or OAuth apps.
Connect the MCP endpoint and publishing tools appear natively in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex and other agents, with REST at backend.blotato.com and official n8n/Make nodes as alternatives.
Post immediately, at a timestamp, or ask the agent for the next free slot, including recurring weekly slots per platform and per account.
List conversations, read threads, reply and send DMs from the agent; build keyword-triggered comment-to-DM funnels on Instagram and Facebook with their own analytics.
