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.
Real-time search engine scraping API with structured JSON, HTML, or Markdown output
Pull on-demand search results from Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and Yandex, with support for many localized domains and languages.
Receive responses as structured JSON, raw HTML, or Markdown, so pipelines can consume results without custom parsing when you want the fast path.
Proxy rotation, CAPTCHA solving, and unblocking are handled by the API, so you do not have to build or maintain that infrastructure.
Target results from a specific country or language at no extra cost, useful for local SEO and international market research.
