## 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).

### Pricing
| Volume | Cost |
|---|---|
| 1,000 results | **$0.99** |
| 10,000 results | **$9.90** |
| 100,000 results | **$99.00** |
Per-result pricing. No minimum. No subscription. Compute costs are included — you pay only for results delivered.
For comparison: hiring a freelancer to manually collect 1,000 job listings costs $50–200 and takes days.
***
### Performance
| Scenario | Results | Time |
|---|---|---|
| HK developer jobs, no details | 500 | ~30 sec |
| HK all jobs, with descriptions | 200 | ~90 sec |
| TH finance jobs, last 7 days | 100 | ~60 sec |
***
### Known limitations
- Salary data is only available when explicitly listed by the employer (common for senior HK roles, less common in TH)
- Maximum 100 results per page; pagination is automatic
- Job market coverage: Hong Kong and Thailand only (other SEEK Asia markets use a separate platform)
- `startUrls` mode returns limited metadata without a search context — set `fetchDetails: true` for full descriptions
