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.
AI-assisted URL threat detection API for developers
Every scan returns a numeric score plus explanatory reasons, so you can act on a link with confidence rather than trusting an opaque verdict.
Short links and redirect chains are unwrapped and followed, revealing hidden final destinations before they reach your users.
Links are classified across phishing, malware, scam, adult, dating, gambling, crypto and spam, supporting nuanced content policies.
Send batches of URLs in a single request and receive per-link risk scores, which suits high-volume pipelines and link shorteners.
