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.
Browser agents and stealth cloud browsers for real web tasks
Describe the task and get structured JSON back, handling multi-step flows behind logins without hand-written selectors.
Managed Chromium instances with residential IPs that are benchmarked for getting past bot detection and CAPTCHAs.
A free, open-source harness that plugs into coding agents; benchmarked as the most token-efficient browser tool of the set tested.
Run browsers in your own network or in managed US/EU cloud regions, with EU data staying in Frankfurt.
