This actor lets you spawn tasks or other actors in parallel on the Apify platform that shares a common output dataset, splitting a RequestQueue-like dataset containing request URLs
You can access the Spawn Workers programmatically from your own applications by using the Apify API. You can choose the language preference from below. To use the Apify API, you’ll need an Apify account and your API token, found in Integrations settings in Apify Console.

OpenAPI is a standard for designing and describing RESTful APIs, allowing developers to define API structure, endpoints, and data formats in a machine-readable way. It simplifies API development, integration, and documentation.
OpenAPI is effective when used with AI agents and GPTs by standardizing how these systems interact with various APIs, for reliable integrations and efficient communication.
By defining machine-readable API specifications, OpenAPI allows AI models like GPTs to understand and use varied data sources, improving accuracy. This accelerates development, reduces errors, and provides context-aware responses, making OpenAPI a core component for AI applications.
You can download the OpenAPI definitions for Spawn Workers from the options below:
If you’d like to learn more about how OpenAPI powers GPTs, read our blog post.
