## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

### FAQ

**Does this require a Humble Bundle account?**\
No. All data is scraped from public pages with no login required.

**How often does Humble Bundle release new bundles?**\
New bundles typically launch weekly. Most bundles run for 2–3 weeks.

**Why might `tierPrices` or `items` be missing?**\
Some bundles use dynamic pricing that loads after page render. The actor attempts multiple extraction strategies. If extraction fails, the bundle title and URL are still captured.

**Can I monitor a specific bundle URL?**\
Yes — use `mode=byUrl` and provide the bundle URL in `startUrls`.

**What's the typical bundle structure?**\
Humble Bundles have 2–4 tiers. Paying more unlocks additional items. The `tierPrices` array reflects this structure.

**Does this work for the Humble Choice subscription?**\
The actor focuses on time-limited bundles and store products. Humble Choice subscription content may not be captured.
