## 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 Salesforce account?**
No. The scraper uses publicly accessible AppExchange data and requires no credentials.

**How many listings are available?**
AppExchange has 5,500+ listed apps and solutions at any given time.

**Can I filter by Salesforce edition?**
Use the `categoryFilter` or `searchQuery` fields to narrow results. Edition filtering is applied post-retrieval from the `supportedEditions` field in each record.

**How often is AppExchange data updated?**
AppExchange data is live. Run the actor anytime for current ratings, review counts, and pricing.

**What's the difference between browse and search modes?**
Browse retrieves all listings in the API's natural order (most recently installed first). Search applies a keyword filter to the same dataset, returning only listings where your query appears in the title, description, or publisher name.
