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.
One API for public social data across 27 platforms
Normalized REST paths and consistent JSON shapes for profiles, posts, comments, search, ads and metrics across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Reddit and many more.
A hosted MCP endpoint connects Codex, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code directly, an npx agent skill teaches the research workflow, and an npm CLI pipes JSON results into scripts and CI.
Request submission, task polling and automatic pagination are built in, so long-running data jobs return predictable, composable results inside your own product.
Trace API calls, inspect key-level activity and monitor quota and billing behaviour from one dashboard before problems reach production.
