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.
Real-time web search and retrieval APIs built for AI agents
Returns ranked, LLM-ready results with highlights and optional full content, designed to hold steady latency even under very high query concurrency.
Automatically splits one complex question into parallel sub-queries and merges the results, giving agents broader coverage from a single call.
Dedicated embedding families for text and for vision-language retrieval, letting teams embed pages, images, video, and documents into a shared vector space.
Turns any URL into clean Markdown with intent-focused highlights and a classified page type, so downstream models receive structured, noise-free input.
