## 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 can I scrape reviews from?**\
Set the country code (gl) and language code (hl) to target any Google Play regional store, more than 100 in total. Reviews and the version labels come back in the language of that store, so use country US with language en for English reviews or country BR with language pt for Brazilian Portuguese.
**How many reviews can I get for one app?**\
Set the per-app limit with Max Reviews Per App. The scraper pages through the store in batches and keeps going until it reaches your limit or runs out of reviews. Very popular apps expose tens of thousands of reviews, so a high limit returns a deep history.
**Can I sort the reviews?**\
Yes. Choose Newest to get the most recent reviews first, Highest rating to start from five-star reviews, or Most helpful to start from the most upvoted ones. Newest is the default and is best for ongoing monitoring.
**Do I get developer replies?**\
Yes. When a developer has replied to a review, the reply text and its date are included in the same record. Reviews without a reply leave those two fields empty rather than guessing.
**What happens if an app ID is wrong or has no reviews?**\
The scraper writes one record with an error message for that package name and moves on to the next app, so a single bad ID never stops the run. Apps that exist but have no reviews simply return nothing for that app.
