Apify is a marketplace of ready-to-run tools for AI agents and apps. The homepage says it has 87,717 tools, called Actors, for jobs on the web. You can use Actors to get real-time web data, track competitors, generate leads, and monitor social media. Popular examples include TikTok Scraper, Google Maps Scraper, and Instagram Scraper. Each Actor page shows how to export data, run the scraper via API, schedule and monitor runs, or integrate with other tools. The platform also lets you build and run serverless programs. You can connect your agent to Apify through MCP, CLI, or Skills. Apify works with Python and JavaScript, and with Playwright, Puppeteer, Selenium, Scrapy, and Crawlee, its own web crawling and browser automation library. The pricing page lists a Free plan at $0 with $5 to spend in Apify Store or on your own Actors, plus paid plans that add monthly credit and pay-as-you-go compute. Add-ons include concurrent runs, Actor RAM, and datacenter proxy. The homepage does not state whether an account is required to use the site, so that fact is unknown. It also does not list supported platforms, so that fact is unknown.
