## 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
**What can I search on Vimeo with this scraper?**
You can search Vimeo by any keyword and get matching public videos, pass individual video URLs or IDs, and pull recent videos from any channel or user profile. You can combine all three inputs in a single run.
**How many videos can I get per run?**
Set the Max Videos value to any number you need. Keyword searches page through hundreds of thousands of matching videos, and channels page through their full catalog, up to your chosen limit.
**Does it return view, like and comment counts?**
Yes. Every video includes like and comment totals. Play counts are included whenever the uploader keeps their video statistics public, which is the case for most search results.
**Can I sort search results?**
Yes. Search supports sorting by relevance, newest first, most played, alphabetical order, or longest duration. Sorting applies to keyword searches only.
**What happens with private or removed videos?**
If a video URL points to a private, removed, or restricted video, the scraper records a clear error entry for that URL and continues with the rest of your input, so one bad link never stops the run.
