## 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.

Authentic voice reads like a redditor
Where to post subreddit picks + flair
Etiquette tips so it lands well
### What it does
Give it a topic. The tool writes a Reddit post in a genuine, first-person voice and returns a clean, structured record:
- **title**, a Reddit-style title with no clickbait
- **body** in markdown, written to sound like a real user sharing something useful
- **recommendedSubreddits**, a list of communities where the post fits and why (when you do not name one)
- **suggestedFlair** for the post
- **tips** on posting etiquette so your post lands well
Reddit is quick to spot and remove marketing speak, AI writing and self-promotion. This tool is built to avoid that: no sales pitch, no brand plug, just a post that reads like a person. Give it a subreddit and it tailors the post to that community. Leave it blank and it tells you where to post.
### Paid plans only
This tool runs on the latest, most reliable premium AI models. Because each run has a real model cost, it is available to paid Apify accounts only. A run started from a free account stops immediately with an upgrade message. Upgrade your Apify subscription to a paid plan and run it again.
### Who is it for
| Use case | Who benefits |
|---|---|
| Community building | Founders and creators sharing honest updates |
| Marketing | Teams that want posts that do not read like ads |
| Research | People testing how to frame a question for feedback |
| Writers | Anyone who wants a natural first draft to edit |
### Input
- **topic**: what the post is about, in your own words.
- **subreddit**: optional. Name a community and the post is tailored to it.
- **tone**: optional preferred tone, for example honest, casual, technical.
- **postType**: a text/self post that shares a story, or a question post that asks the community.
### Notes
- Always read a subreddit's rules before posting. Many communities ban self-promotion outright.
- Treat the output as a first draft. Add your own real detail and edit before you post.

### 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).
