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.
Affordable real-time search API that returns structured JSON plus page content in a single call.
Send a query and receive live web results as clean, structured JSON that is ready for parsing, ranking or feeding into a model.
Convert any URL into clean, readable markdown in the same API key, removing boilerplate so retrieved text is directly usable for RAG and summarization.
Requests are routed across multiple underlying search sources with health monitoring and automatic retries, so a single empty source does not break your pipeline.
Official libraries and snippets for Python, JavaScript, MCP and LangChain make it a few lines of code to add live search to an agent or app.
