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.
Free browser that lets AI agents run parallel web automation with your own logins
The agent runs in an isolated Space inside the browser, so it never hijacks your tabs, mouse or focus. Switch in to watch, or ignore it and keep working.
ego (lite) imports your whole Chrome profile in one click, so every site you are signed into stays signed in and the agent inherits that session.
Snapshots are built inside the custom Chromium engine and reach into cross-origin iframes, shadow DOM and third-party widgets like Stripe, Salesforce and Intercom.
Measured in ego's real-world benchmark, ego-browser completed complex tasks roughly 47–63% faster than rival tools with a 93.5% success rate and lower cost per task.
