## 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.

### Frequently Asked Questions
**Which countries and languages does it cover?**
Any Google News edition. Set the language code, for example en-US or es-419, and the country code, for example US, MX, GB, ES, BR. The actor reads the matching edition so you get sources and articles relevant to that market.
**How many articles can I get per run?**
A single search, topic or headlines feed returns up to about 100 articles. Use Max Items to cap how many you collect. For broader coverage, run several searches with different queries or time windows.
**Can I limit results to recent news?**
Yes. In search mode add a time operator to the query, for example artificial intelligence when:1h, when:1d or when:7d, to restrict results to the last hour, day or week.
**Why is the link sometimes a Google News URL instead of the publisher link?**
Google News serves redirect links that hide the real article address. The actor decodes them into the publisher link when Resolve Real Article URL is enabled. If a particular link cannot be decoded, the actor keeps the Google News link and sets urlResolved to false, so you never lose the article.
**What happens when a field has no data?**
Missing values are returned as null and are never invented. The snippet field is empty for search items where the feed only carries the headline, and carries the related coverage list for top headlines.
