Apify is a cloud platform and marketplace of 100,000+ ready-to-run scrapers and automation tools, called Actors. Users and AI agents pick an Actor, such as a TikTok, Instagram or Google Maps scraper, run it on demand, by API or on a schedule, and get structured data back.

**Key features:**

- Runs prebuilt Actors from Apify Store for social media, maps, e-commerce and websites.
- Website Content Crawler feeds clean markdown to LLM apps, vector databases and RAG pipelines.
- Connects agents through an MCP server, CLI and skills, and lets agents pay per run.
- Builds and deploys custom Actors in Python or JavaScript with the open-source Crawlee library.
- Provides proxies, unblocking, serverless execution, storage and monitoring.
- Lets developers publish Actors on the Store and get paid.

Apify is SOC 2, GDPR and CCPA compliant and integrates with Zapier, n8n, LangChain, LlamaIndex and Google Sheets. The free plan includes $5 of monthly usage with no card. Starter is $19/month, Scale $199/month and Business $999/month, each as prepaid usage plus pay-as-you-go, with 10% off annual billing.
