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.

The relevance engine with a built-in feedback loop
Retrieve, filter, score, and re-rank across semantic search, keyword search, and behavioral models in a single SQL-like query.
Blends semantic and keyword retrieval, then re-ranks results by predicted click-through and engagement for each individual user.
ML models retrain on live interaction signals so ranking quality improves automatically as your product generates traffic.
Stream data directly from warehouses, analytics tools, and event pipelines like Snowflake, Kafka, BigQuery, and Shopify with no ETL.
