## What's an Apify Actor?
Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.
In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):
```bash
npm install apify-client
```
In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):
```bash
pip install apify-client
```
In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):
````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash
In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).
If your project is in a different language, use 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).

## Tool: Bulk Translator & Localizer
> Translate and localize many texts at once into any language. Get natural, native sounding output that keeps your brand terms and tone, not stiff machine translation.
Any language set a target, translate in bulk
Native localization keeps tone and brand terms
JSON / CSV / Excel output formats
### What it does
Give it a list of texts and a target language. For each text it returns a clean, structured record:
- **translation**: a natural, localized version written the way a native speaker would
- **detectedSourceLanguage**: the language of your input, detected automatically when you do not set one
- **targetLanguage**: the language you asked for
It localizes idioms, phrasing and units so the result reads native, and it keeps brand names, product names and placeholders exactly as written. Export to JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull it through the Apify API.
### Paid plans only
This tool runs on the latest, most reliable premium AI models. Because each run has a real model cost, it is available to paid Apify accounts only. A run started from a free account stops immediately with an upgrade message. Upgrade your Apify subscription to a paid plan and run it again.
### Who is it for
| Use case | Who benefits |
|---|---|
| Ecommerce | Localizing product listings and store copy |
| Marketing | Adapting campaigns for new markets |
| Support | Translating help articles and canned replies |
| Product teams | Localizing app strings and notifications |
### Input
- **texts**: a list of items, each a plain string or an object with a `text` field.
- **targetLanguage**: the language to translate into, for example Spanish or Japanese.
- **sourceLanguage**: the input language. Leave blank to detect it. Optional.
- **tone**: a preferred tone or register, for example friendly or formal. Optional.
- **maxItems**: optional cap on how many texts to translate this run.
### Notes
- Output is localized, not word for word, so phrasing may differ from a literal translation on purpose.
- Long texts are truncated before translation to keep runs fast and predictable.
### Example use cases

### 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).
