Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Toolify AI Tools Scraper Collect AI tool and website listings from [Toolify.ai](https://www.toolify.ai)—the directory of AI apps, websites, and tools. Each row includes the tool name, website URL, Toolify profile link, categories, traffic stats, and whether the listing is free or sponsored. You do **not** need a Toolify account. The actor reads public list API results only. ### Input Configure these fields in the Apify Console **Input** tab before you click **Start**. | Field | Type | Required | Default | Description | |-------|------|----------|---------|-------------| | **List modes** | multi-select | Yes | New | Pick one or more lists: **New**, **Most saved**, **Most used**, or **Apps**. Each mode is scraped separately. | | **Search keyword** | text | No | *(empty)* | Optional. Runs an extra keyword search pass and filters the **Apps** list. Does **not** filter New, Most saved, or Most used rankings. | | **Max items per list mode** | number | Yes | `50` | How many tools to save **for each** list mode (and for the keyword search pass when a keyword is set). Maximum is **500**. | | **Proxy configuration** | proxy | No | Residential on Apify | Apify residential proxy (on by default on Apify cloud). | #### List mode options - **New** — recently added tools - **Most saved** — tools users save most often - **Most used** — tools with highest usage - **Apps** — app listings (ordered by date added) When you set a **Search keyword**, the actor also runs a site-wide keyword search (separate from the ranking lists). ### Output Results appear in the run **Dataset** tab—one row per tool per list mode (the same tool can appear in multiple modes). | Field | What you get | |-------|----------------| | `listMode` | Which list this row came from (`new`, `most_saved`, `most_used`, `apps`, `search`) | | `rank` | Position in that list (1 = first) | | `keyword` | Your search keyword, if this row is from Apps (with keyword) or Search | | `totalInList` | Total tools reported by Toolify for that list | | `toolId`, `name`, `handle` | Tool identifiers | | `toolifyUrl` | Link to the tool on Toolify.ai | | `website`, `websiteName` | External product URL and display name | | `description`, `summary` | Short descriptions from the listing | | `imageUrl`, `logoUrl` | Cover image and logo URLs | | `collectedCount`, `monthVisitedCount` | Save count and monthly visit estimate | | `isFree`, `isAd` | Whether the tool is marked free or sponsored | | `categoryNames`, `categoryHandles` | Comma-separated Toolify categories | | `trafficTopRegion`, `trafficTopRegionValue` | Top traffic region and share, when available | | `scrapedAt` | When this row was collected | Download as **JSON**, **CSV**, or **Excel** from the dataset, or use the Apify API and integrations. ### Pricing Structure **Pay per usage** — you are charged for compute units (CPU, memory, runtime) consumed during the run. If the actor falls back to a browser session to pass Cloudflare, runs may use more resources than a plain API call. Set a **spending limit** on the run before you start if you are testing. ### Examples #### Example 1: Latest tools **Input:** ```json { "listModes": ["new"], "keyword": "", "maxItemsPerMode": 25 } ```` **Output:** Up to 25 rows from the New list. #### Example 2: Compare rankings **Input:** ```json { "listModes": ["new", "most_used"], "maxItemsPerMode": 50 } ``` **Output:** Up to 50 rows per mode (up to 100 total). The same tool may appear twice with different `listMode` and `rank`. #### Example 3: Search “video” and apps **Input:** ```json { "listModes": ["apps"], "keyword": "video", "maxItemsPerMode": 30 } ``` **Output:** Up to 30 apps matching “video”, plus up to 30 rows from the keyword search pass. ### Best Practices 1. **Start small** — use `maxItemsPerMode` of 10–25 while testing; each mode adds more rows and runtime. 2. **Keyword scope** — keywords filter Apps and the search pass only; use **Search** output (`listMode: search`) for keyword discovery, not ranking lists. 3. **Multi-mode runs** — selecting four modes with `maxItemsPerMode: 500` can produce up to 2,000 rows; watch dataset size and cost. 4. **Sponsored listings** — `isAd: true` rows are included by default; filter them in your export if you want organic-only lists. 5. **Cloudflare** — Toolify may block plain API requests; the actor automatically retries with a headless browser when needed (uses proxy when configured). 6. **Residential proxy** — leave proxy enabled on Apify cloud if you see empty results or blocks. ### Limitations - List-only data (no full Toolify profile page scrape). - Keyword search totals on Toolify may cap below your `maxItemsPerMode` for broad terms. - Ranking lists (New, Most saved, Most used) ignore the keyword filter by design. # Actor input Schema ## `listModes` (type: `array`): One or more Toolify directory lists to scrape. Each selected mode is scraped separately up to max items per mode. ## `keyword` (type: `string`): Optional. Runs an extra keyword search pass and filters the Apps list. Does not filter New, Most saved, or Most used rankings. ## `maxItemsPerMode` (type: `integer`): Maximum tools to save for each list mode (and for the keyword search pass when a keyword is set). Hard cap is 500. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Apify residential proxy on cloud (enabled by default). For local runs, use a .env file with APIFY\_TOKEN or proxy credentials, or enable Apify proxy in this field. ## Actor input object example ```json { "listModes": [ "new" ], "keyword": "", "maxItemsPerMode": 50, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `tools` (type: `string`): Scraped tools with list mode, rank, URLs, categories, and traffic stats. ## `dataset` (type: `string`): All tool records from this run in JSON format. ## `runInput` (type: `string`): Copy of the Actor input used for this run. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
