## 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
**Which cities and countries does this Meetup scraper cover?**
It works worldwide. Enter any city or place name such as New York, London, Mexico City, Berlin or Sao Paulo, and the best matching location is used to search events or groups nearby.
**How many events or groups can it return?**
Set the Max Results field to any number. The scraper pages through the search results until it reaches your cap or runs out of matches, so you can pull a handful or several hundred in one run.
**Can I scrape a specific event or group instead of searching?**
Yes. Paste one or more event URLs (ending in /events/123/) or group URLs into the Event or Group URLs field and each one is scraped directly, with full details.
**What is the difference between events and groups mode?**
Choose Events to get individual meetups with dates, venues and RSVP counts, or choose Groups to get communities with member counts, categories and organizers. Both come from the same keyword and location.
**Why are some detail fields empty?**
Fields marked with an asterisk only appear when Fetch Full Details is turned on. Fees appear only for paid events, and ratings appear only for groups that have been rated, so those stay empty when they do not apply.
