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, high-performance vector search at any scale
Built entirely in Rust with SIMD and a custom Gridstore storage engine for fast, scalable vector search.
Combine dense and sparse vectors in one query, supporting BM25, SPLADE++ and miniCOIL for keyword-plus-vector retrieval.
Store metadata as JSON and apply advanced filters such as nested, text, geo and has_vector, with filters applied during HNSW traversal.
Asymmetric, scalar and binary quantization reduce memory usage by up to 64x while preserving search quality.
