## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

### FAQ

**Do I need a Zapier account or API key?**
No. The Zapier App Directory is publicly accessible without any authentication.

**How many apps can I scrape?**
The directory has 9,000+ apps. Set `maxItems` up to 1000 per run.

**What is the difference between `isPremium` and `partnerTier`?**
`isPremium` means users need a paid Zapier plan to use the app. `partnerTier` (PLATINUM/GOLD/SILVER/BRONZE) reflects the app's partnership level with Zapier — a PLATINUM app is not necessarily premium.

**Can I track category rankings over time?**
Yes — use `mode=byCategory` and run daily. Apps are returned in the order they appear on Zapier's category pages. See also the companion **Zapier Category Trend Tracker** actor for per-run rank fields.

**How do I find a specific app's slug?**
The slug is the URL segment on zapier.com/apps — for example, `gmail` from `https://zapier.com/apps/gmail/integrations`.

**Is the data source reliable?**
This actor uses Zapier's own public API and HTML pages with no anti-bot protection. Requests include automatic retries on rate-limit errors.

### Data Source

Data is fetched from:

- `https://zapier.com/api/v4/apps/` (search mode)
- `https://zapier.com/apps/categories/{slug}` (category mode)
- `https://zapier.com/apps/{slug}/integrations` (slug lookup mode)

No authentication, proxy, or cookies required.
