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.
Give every AI agent its own isolated browser with a persistent identity
Each profile is generated from a seed so its identity, cookies and logins persist across restarts, and sites see the same returning visitor rather than a new device.
One browser per profile means separate logins, cookies and devices that share nothing, making multi-account automation safe to run in parallel.
Agents get through username and password forms, email confirmation codes, TOTP and SMS two-factor codes, passkeys and permission prompts without stalling.
Press-and-hold, image grid, slider and rotation captchas are solved through human-like input rather than third-party solving keys.
