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.

Open-source Python framework for real-life ML, AI, and data science workflows
Flow and step decorators turn ordinary Python functions into versioned, resumable pipelines without YAML or DSL boilerplate.
Move the same flow from a laptop to Kubernetes, AWS Batch, Azure, or GCP and run steps on GPUs, many cores, or large memory pools.
Metaflow stores variables and artifacts from every step so you can compare experiments, debug past runs, and reproduce results later.
Point a flow at your production scheduler and let it react to incoming data or events instead of manual re-runs.
