## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — 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).

A current price tells you what a company is worth today. It doesn't tell you the trend, the exact price of the round before this one, or who founded the company. This Actor pulls every public data point [Forge Global](https://forgeglobal.com) shows for private and pre-IPO companies: full daily valuation history, exact funding-round pricing, and structured founder detail, in one run.

### 🚀 Why use it

**"I track pre-IPO valuations for a fund."** A single current price tells me nothing about the trend. I need the full history, not a snapshot I have to screenshot every week.

**"I model funding rounds for due diligence."** I don't want "raised $150M in a later round." I want the exact per-share price and post-money valuation for every round, in order.

**"I research founders and cap tables before a deal."** I'm tired of piecing together who founded a company from three different sources when it should be one clean field.

### ❓ FAQ

**Does this Actor need a Forge Global account or API key?**
No. Every field comes from Forge Global's own public pages. There's no login, credential, or key input anywhere in this Actor.

**Can I get the live bid and ask prices for a company?**
No. Live marketplace bid/ask prices and last-matched trade prices require a real Forge Global account and are hidden from public visitors. This Actor only extracts what's publicly visible: the aggregate Forge Price valuation and its full history, not the live order book.

**How far back does the price history go?**
As far back as Forge Global's own chart data goes for that company, which for established companies reaches back several years. Newer companies naturally have a shorter history.

**Is this legal?**
This Actor only extracts publicly available information already shown to any visitor of Forge Global's site. Always review the target site's terms of service before using the data commercially.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
