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.

Let AI agents drive your real Chrome browser with full Playwright power
Agents get a single execute tool that runs arbitrary Playwright code, avoiding schema bloat from dozens of predefined commands.
Runs in your existing Chrome so logins, cookies, and extensions are already available — no separate headless instance or re-authentication.
Generate readable accessibility trees with automatic diffing, and overlay numbered visual labels that map refs to page elements.
Set JavaScript breakpoints, edit live code, intercept and replay network requests, and inspect response schemas without leaving the workflow.
