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.
SERP and web-to-text APIs built for agents and RAG
Structured JSON results from Google and Bing — including Shopping, Images, News, Videos and Short Videos endpoints — for search features, monitoring and production apps.
Convert URLs, PDFs and Office documents into clean Markdown or HTML, with a configurable JavaScript wait for client-rendered pages.
Pair live SERP results with Reader extraction in one pipeline so agents, RAG systems and LLM workflows answer with current, citable context.
Scale by adding concurrent lanes rather than respecting hourly caps, and stack eligible plans to add lanes to a single account without rebuilding integrations.
