## 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.

### How to connect

#### Claude Desktop

Add to `claude_desktop_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "snapchat-ads": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@apify/actors-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "ACTOR_ID": "zadexinho/snapchat-ads-mcp-server",
        "APIFY_TOKEN": "your_apify_token"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

#### Other MCP clients

Use the Apify MCP server connector with actor ID `zadexinho/snapchat-ads-mcp-server`.

### How much does it cost?

Pricing is per tool call.

| Calls | Cost |
|-------|------|
| 100 | $0.50 |
| 500 | $2.50 |
| 1,000 | $5.00 |

### Tips

- **Use the legal entity name** — Search under the paying advertiser's registered name (e.g. "adidas AG" not "Adidas"). If `totalAds` is 0, try variations.
- **Try different countries** — Ad coverage varies by country. A brand with 0 results in `NL` may have 50 in `DE`.
- **For bulk data** — Use the [Snapchat Ads Scraper](https://apify.com/zadexinho/snapchat-ads-scraper) instead. It handles pagination and pushes to a dataset.
- **`mediaUrl` available for DYNAMIC ads only** — VIDEO, IMAGE, and LENS\_PACKAGE types do not expose direct media URLs.

### Limitations

- EU countries only (27 member states under DSA)
- Last 12 months of ad data
- 50 ads per tool call (use the scraper for larger volumes)
- `mediaUrl` populated for DYNAMIC-type ads only
- No campaign end date (API limitation)
