## 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.

### Who is it for

| Use case | Who benefits |
|---|---|
| Trading and arbitrage | Quants and bots comparing odds and spotting mispriced markets |
| Research | Analysts studying how crowds price elections, sports and crypto |
| Journalism | Reporters citing live market-implied probabilities |
| Dashboards | Builders feeding odds and volume into their own apps |

### How to use it

1. Choose a **status** (active, closed or all) and a **sort** (volume, liquidity, newest or ending soon).
2. Optionally add a **search keyword** or a **category tag slug** to focus the results.
3. Set **Max Items** and run. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull it through the Apify API.

### Frequently Asked Questions

**What do the outcome prices mean?**
Each outcome price is the market-implied probability of that outcome, from 0 to 1. For a Yes/No market a Yes price of 0.62 means the market prices the event at about 62 percent.

**Can I get only sports or only politics markets?**
Yes. Use the category tag slug (for example `sports`, `politics` or `crypto`), or a search keyword to keep only matching questions.

**Does it include resolved markets?**
Yes. Set status to closed to pull markets that have already resolved, or all to get both open and resolved markets in one run.

**How fresh is the data?**
Odds, volume and order book prices are read live at run time, so each record reflects the market at the moment of the run (see observedAt).

For AI agents: this Actor is available on **x402**, Apify's agentic payment standard built with Coinbase. An AI agent can discover, pay for and run it on its own with a funded wallet and a single HTTP request: no account, no subscription, no API key and no human in the loop. It also runs as an **MCP** tool inside Claude, Cursor and other AI clients out of the box. Learn more about [x402 agentic payments on Apify](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/x402).
