## 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 |
|---|---|
| Lead research | Sales teams profiling a company's domain footprint and registrar |
| Due diligence | Analysts checking domain age, expiry and ownership signals |
| Portfolio monitoring | Owners tracking expiry dates and status across many domains |
| Security & fraud | Teams flagging brand-new or recently changed domains |
### How to use it
1. Add one or more **domains** (for example `google.com`). You can paste a whole list.
2. Set **Max Items** and run.
3. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull it through the Apify API.
### Frequently Asked Questions
**Why is the registrant name or email empty?**
Most registrars redact personal registrant details under privacy and GDPR rules, so those fields are often empty. The registrar, dates, status and nameservers are almost always present.
**Which domains are supported?**
The vast majority of common extensions (.com, .net, .org, .io and many country domains) are supported. A few registries publish less data than others.
**How fresh is the data?**
Every record is looked up live at run time, so it reflects the domain's registration at the moment of the run (see observedAt).
**Can I check hundreds of domains?**
Yes. Paste your full list and set Max Items accordingly; each domain returns one record.

### Export, API and AI agents (x402 + MCP)
Export the scraped data to **JSON, CSV or Excel**, pull it as a **dataset** through the Apify **API**, or wire it into your app with **no code**. This web scraper and data extractor also works for bulk data extraction and scheduled runs.
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).
