## 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.

### Frequently Asked Questions
**Does this cover Behance creators worldwide?**
Yes. Behance is a global platform and the scraper returns projects and creators from any country, with each creator's location, city and country included when they publish it.
**How many projects can I collect in one run?**
Set Max Projects to whatever you need. A keyword search can reach thousands of matching projects, and you can pass several keywords, creators and project URLs in a single run.
**Can I search by creative field or sort the results?**
Yes. Restrict a keyword search to a creative field such as branding, illustration or UI/UX, and sort by most appreciated, most viewed, most discussed or most recent, with an optional time window.
**Can I scrape all projects from a specific creator?**
Yes. Add one or more Behance usernames or profile URLs and the scraper returns every public project by each creator, plus their follower count and portfolio stats.
**What happens when a project has no description or tools listed?**
Those detail fields are returned empty for that project while the rest of the record stays intact. Enable Include Full Project Details to fetch description, tools, tags and creator portfolio stats.
