## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

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

No. You can start right now on the free Apify plan, which includes **$5 in free monthly credit**. That is enough to run this actor several times and explore the output before committing to anything. Paid plans unlock higher limits, more concurrent runs, and larger datasets. [Create a free Apify account here](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=vmoqkp) to get started.

</details>

<details>
<summary><b>🚨 What happens if my run fails or returns no results?</b></summary>

Failed runs are not charged. If the source site changes, proxies get rate-limited, or a specific input matches nothing, re-run the actor or open our [contact form](https://tally.so/r/BzdKgA) and we will investigate. You can also check the run log in the Apify console to see why the run stopped.

</details>

<details>
<summary><b>📏 How many items can I scrape per run?</b></summary>

Free users are limited to **10 items per run** so you can preview the output and confirm the actor works for your use case. Paid users can raise maxItems up to **1,000,000** per run. [Upgrade here](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=vmoqkp) if you need full scale.

</details>

<details>
<summary><b>🕒 How fresh is the data?</b></summary>

Every run fetches live data at the moment of execution. There is no cache or delay: the records you get reflect what the source returned at that moment. Schedule the actor to maintain a rolling snapshot of the data you need.

</details>

<details>
<summary><b>🧑‍💻 Can I call this actor from my own code?</b></summary>

Yes. Apify exposes every actor as a REST endpoint and ships first-class SDKs for [Node.js](https://docs.apify.com/sdk/js) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/sdk/python).
