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.

Fraud and abuse detection that recognizes visitors, bots and risky accounts under any masking
Recognizes returning visitors across cleared cookies, incognito sessions and changed IP addresses, and links multiple accounts that trace back to the same person or device.
Flags multi-accounting, account sharing, account takeover and impossible travel out of the box, with a confidence value per event and no fraud model training required.
Names the risk signals behind each result: VPN, proxy, Tor, private relay, datacenter, anti-detect browser, incognito mode, JavaScript disabled, OS and timezone mismatch, browser automation and AI bots.
Scores every visit 0–100 and classifies it as trusted, suspicious or dangerous, then aggregates a single traffic-quality score with breakdowns by channel, referrer and UTM campaign.
