## 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.

- **Hosts** - every host with name, username and X, Instagram, LinkedIn and website handles, plus verified status

**No result, no charge.** You are only billed for real event records that are returned. Empty or failed runs cost nothing.
### Who is it for
| Use case | Who benefits |
|---|---|
| Business development | Teams finding events, hosts and communities to partner with |
| Lead generation | Sales and community teams building host and organizer lists |
| Market intel | Analysts tracking where tech, AI and crypto events happen |
| Event discovery | Builders feeding a city or category calendar into their app |
### How to use it
1. Add one or more **categories** (for example `ai`, `crypto`, `tech`) or **cities**, or paste specific **event URLs**.
2. Set **Max Events** and run.
3. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull it through the Apify API.
### Frequently Asked Questions
**Which categories can I use?**
Luma discover categories such as `ai`, `crypto`, `tech`, `climate` and `fooddrink`. Leave categories empty to browse the global feed and optionally filter by city.
**Can I get events for a specific city?**
Yes. Add one or more cities and the actor keeps only events in those cities, either within a category or across the global feed.
**Does it include host contact details?**
Each host comes with their public username and linked social handles (X, Instagram, LinkedIn) and website when present.
**How fresh is the data?**
Events are read live at run time, so each reflects the source at the moment of the run (see observedAt).
### Export, API and AI agents (x402 + MCP)
Export the scraped data to **JSON, CSV or Excel**, pull it as a **dataset** through the Apify **API**, or wire it into your app with **no code**. This web scraper and data extractor also works for bulk data extraction and scheduled runs.
For AI agents: this Actor is available on **x402**, Apify's agentic payment standard built with Coinbase. An AI agent can discover, pay for and run it on its own with a funded wallet and a single HTTP request: no account, no subscription, no API key and no human in the loop. It also runs as an **MCP** tool inside Claude, Cursor and other AI clients out of the box. Learn more about [x402 agentic payments on Apify](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/x402).
