## 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 |
|---|---|
| Development finance | Analysts tracking commitments by country, sector or status |
| Procurement and contracts | Firms mapping upcoming and active project pipelines |
| Research and policy | Teams studying where and how funds are committed |
| Dashboards | Builders feeding project and financing data into their apps |

### How to use it

1. Enter a **search query** (for example a sector or theme), and optionally a **country code** or **status**.
2. Set **Max Items** and run.
3. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull the results through the Apify API.

### Frequently Asked Questions

**Can I get only projects in one country?**
Yes. Set the **country code** to the ISO-2 code (for example `BR`, `IN` or `KE`) to keep only that country's projects.

**Can I filter by whether a project is still active?**
Yes. Use the **status** filter to keep only Active, Closed, Pipeline or Dropped projects.

**What is in the commitment amounts?**
Each project carries its total commitment and, where available, the IBRD and IDA components, so you can see the scale and source of the financing.

**How fresh is the data?**
Projects are read live at run time, so each record reflects the latest published detail (see observedAt).

### 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).
