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.
One API key for hundreds of AI models from every major provider
Six hundred plus models for text, image, video, audio, transcription, embeddings, and reranking behind one OpenAI-compatible API.
Requests are rerouted to another provider on outages or rate limits by default, so you don't write custom retry logic.
The auto-router selects a model and provider per request using live marketplace performance and pricing data.
Track spend, tokens, and usage per model, provider, and team member in one place, including bring-your-own-key usage.
