## 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.

## GOG.com Games Scraper

Scrape game listings from GOG.com – including titles, prices, supported platforms, categories, and cover images. This actor uses a stealth browser to render the dynamic AngularJS page and extract structured data for every product, enabling you to build price trackers, game directories, or market research datasets.

### Features

- Extracts product title, price, currency, product URL, and cover image
- Identifies Windows, macOS, and Linux support flags
- Detects whether an item is a game, movie, or other category
- Captures coming soon, buyable, and free status
- Collects the full description for each product
- Configurable pagination limit (max items)
- Built-in Apify proxy support for reliable scraping

### Output

Each dataset item is a game listing with all available fields. Example:

```json
{
  "id": "1307072587",
  "title": "Hollow Knight",
  "price": "14.99",
  "currency": "USD",
  "imageUrl": "https://images.gog.com/123456789.jpg",
  "productUrl": "https://www.gog.com/en/game/hollow_knight",
  "windowsSupport": true,
  "macSupport": false,
  "linuxSupport": false,
  "isGame": true,
  "isMovie": false,
  "isComingSoon": false,
  "isBuyable": true,
  "isFree": false,
  "description": "Forge your own path in the vast, interconnected world of Hallownest...",
  "coverImageUrl": "https://images.gog.com/123456789_cover.jpg",
  "category": "game"
}
```
