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.
Rent cloud GPUs by the second from a global marketplace
Rent from a global pool of 20,000+ GPUs spanning more than 60 GPU types, from RTX 3060-class cards to GB200s, across 40+ data centers.
Choose on-demand for guaranteed uptime, interruptible at 50%+ cheaper, or reserved terms at up to 50% off with guaranteed capacity.
Pay only for the compute you use with per-second billing and no minimum hours, so experiments and short jobs stay affordable.
Provision and optimize instances entirely through code using the CLI, Python SDK, or REST API, which also makes the platform agent-ready.
