## 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 symbols and markets does it cover?**
Any ticker that exists on Yahoo Finance: US and international stocks, ETFs, mutual funds, indices such as ^GSPC, currency pairs such as EURUSD=X, and cryptocurrencies quoted as BTC-USD or ETH-USD. Mix stocks and crypto freely in one run.
**How many symbols can I request in one run?**
Hundreds. Symbols are fetched in efficient batches, so a list of a few hundred tickers returns in a single quick run. Use Max Items to cap how many symbols are processed.
**Can I get historical prices, not just the live quote?**
Yes. Pick a History Range (for example 1mo, 1y or max) and a candle interval, and every record gets a history array of open, high, low, close, adjusted close and volume. Leave the range empty for a faster quote-only run.
**Why are some fields empty on crypto or on certain stocks?**
Fields are asset-specific. Crypto records include circulating and max supply but no price-to-earnings ratio, while equities include valuation and dividend fields but no supply. A stock that pays no dividend simply has an empty dividend yield.
**What happens if a symbol is misspelled or delisted?**
That symbol gets its own record with an error message instead of prices, and the rest of the run continues normally, so one bad ticker never breaks the batch.
