Apify

Thousands of ready-made scrapers, run by id. For the source with no API — a directory, a review site.

Connecting

In the dashboard, open Connectors, find Apify and press Connect. The key you enter is checked against Apify before anything is saved, so a key that is refused never becomes a connection that fails later.

What you will need

Field	What it is
API Token	Your Apify API token

Getting the credential

Create a token at console.apify.com under Settings → Integrations
Paste it into the connector

Notes

Every Actor takes different input. startUrls.0.url, maxCrawlPages and query cover the common scraping and search Actors; an Actor wanting something unusual may not be reachable through these parameters. Its input schema is on its page.
run_actor waits for the result and suits short jobs. Anything long should use start_actor, then get_run until it has SUCCEEDED, then get_dataset_items.
Actor runs consume Apify compute units and are charged.

What an agent can do with it

Tool	What it does
`run_actor`	Run an Apify Actor and wait for its results. `actor_id` is the Actor’s path with the slash replaced by a tilde, e.g. ‘apify~website-content-crawler’. Put the Actor’s own input fields in the remaining parameters — every Actor takes different ones, so check its page on apify.com.
`start_actor`	Start an Actor without waiting. Use for long jobs that would time out on run_actor. Returns a run id — poll get_run, then read get_dataset_items.
`get_run`	Poll a run started by start_actor. Status is RUNNING, SUCCEEDED, FAILED or TIMED-OUT.
`get_dataset_items`	Read what a finished run produced.
`list_actors`	List the Actors on this account, including ones saved from the store.
