## 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.

# README

## Consumer Intelligence MCP

Consumer intelligence as an MCP tool. Track demand signals, sentiment, and behavioral trends across 25+ sources — the AI-native alternative to Brandwatch Consumer Intelligence.

**[Get your free API key at trendsmcp.ai](https://trendsmcp.ai)** — 100 requests/month, no credit card.

### Consumer intelligence with AI

Understand what consumers want, feel, and do — across search, social, and commerce. One MCP connection gives your AI the same consumer signals that enterprise platforms charge thousands for.

**Ask your AI things like:**

- *"What are consumers searching for in the health category right now?"*
- *"How has consumer sentiment around 'electric vehicles' changed over 2 years?"*
- *"What's driving TikTok interest in 'protein soda' this quarter?"*
- *"Compare consumer demand for 'GLP-1 drugs' across Google, Amazon, and news."*
