The Automation Layer

Modern data stacks require more than just APIs; they need a robust Automation Layer to handle the messy reality of the web. Apify Actors are serverless cloud programs that bridge the gap between unstructured web data and your structured database. We build and maintain production-ready Actors that solve complex data extraction challenges, allowing you to focus on analysis rather than infrastructure.

Serverless

Zero infrastructure management. Auto-scaling containers.

Bypass Limits

Built-in proxy rotation and fingerprint management.

Universal API

Control everything via REST API or Python/Node.js SDKs.

Integrations

Native connectors for Pinecone, LangChain, and Zapier.

Production-Ready Actors

Our public actors are engineered for reliability and scale. They handle the complexities of anti-bot systems, CAPTCHAs, and dynamic content rendering.

Architecture: The Data Pipeline

Apify Actors sit between the raw web and your application logic. They act as intelligent agents that fetch, process, and normalize data before it ever hits your system.

Developer Experience

Integrating an Actor is as simple as calling an API endpoint. You don’t need to worry about headless browsers, memory leaks, or IP bans.

Python SDK Example

from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the client
client = ApifyClient("YOUR_API_TOKEN")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
    "keywords": ["generative ai", "llm"],
    "country": "US",
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("deadlyaccurate/answer-the-public").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)
