HTTP Request Runner (bulk API calls, GET, POST, JSON)

Send up to 10,000 HTTP requests in one run and get every answer back as a clean row: status code, timing, final URL after redirects, response headers and the body. JSON responses are parsed into objects, so you can use them straight away in Make, Zapier, n8n, Sheets or an AI agent.

Price: US$0.002 per answered request (first 1 MB of each response included), US$0.001 per extra started MB, plus a US$0.001 run fee. 1,000 requests with small responses cost US$2.001. Requests that fail before any answer (timeout, DNS, refused) are not charged.

What people use it for

• Bulk API calls without code: call a REST API for a list of IDs and get all the JSON back in one dataset.
• Webhooks and integrations: POST data to an endpoint from a scheduled Apify task.
• Uptime and status checks: check status codes and response times for a list of URLs or endpoints.
• Redirect checks: see where each link ends up after redirects.
• AI agent tool: a safe, metered way for an agent to call public HTTP APIs.

Input

• requests: list of objects: url, method (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, HEAD; default GET), headers, body (text, or JSON sent as application/json), label (optional tag copied to the output).
• urls: optional plain links to GET.
• maxResponseMb (default 2, up to 10), timeoutSeconds (default 30), followRedirects (default true), parseJson (default true).

Example output

Rules this Actor follows

• Public hosts only. Private, local and cloud metadata addresses are refused, on every redirect hop too.
• Honest identity. Every request uses the User-Agent ApifyHttpRequestRunner/1.0 with a link to this page. It cannot be changed, and the Actor never disguises itself as a browser or tries to get past bot protection or CAPTCHAs.
• robots.txt respected. Paths a site disallows for automated clients are skipped and not charged.
• Polite. At most 2 requests at a time to the same host, 10 in total.
• Your headers stay private. Request headers (API keys, tokens) are sent only to the URL you give. They are never logged or written to the output.
• Use it only for endpoints you are allowed to call, under their terms.

Limits

• 10,000 requests per run; request bodies up to 1 MB; responses cut at 10 MB.
• No JavaScript rendering. For pages that need a browser, use a browser-based Actor.

FAQ

Is a 404 or 500 charged? Yes. The server answered, and you get its status and body. Only requests with no answer at all are free.

Can I send an API key? Yes, in headers (for example Authorization). It is sent to that URL only and never stored in the output or log.

Can an AI agent call it? Yes. Compact JSON with stable field names and pay-per-event pricing.
