What are Actors?

Actors are serverless cloud programs that automate tasks like web scraping, data processing, and AI agents. They're called Actors because, like human actors, they perform actions based on a script.

Build your Actor in minutes

With web scraping and AI agent code templates, the code base of the Actor is done for you, saving you time and effort on optimizing your solution with the Apify platform. You can also import your code from any Git repository or directly from your local system using Apify CLI.

Reach thousands of new customers

Building and running SaaS is hard. Building an Actor and monetizing it on Apify Store is 10x easier. You can get visitors from day one.

No upfront costs

Publishing your Actor is free of charge - customers pay for computing resources.

Rely on Apify infra

Actors scale automatically as you gain new users. You don’t need to worry about compute, storage, proxies, or authentication.

Billing is on us

Handling payments, taxes, and invoicing can be a painful part of running SaaS. Apify takes care of all that and sends you a net payout every month.

Fuel your development with a Creator plan

For just $1/month, you get $500 of platform usage for the first 6 months, so you can run and test your Actors without compromise.

Customize your pricing model

With pay per event (PPE), developers can charge based on specific events triggered during an Actor’s run - such as starting an Actor, scraping a page, or calling an API.

Working with Apify has been a blast! They're always quick to help, super flexible, and really get what I'm trying to do. With their support, I've taken a simple concept and turned it into a money-making web scraper. They've got my back when it comes to publishing and answering questions. Being part of Apify feels like having a powerhouse team behind me, helping me turn ideas into real cash and aiding others to pull data they need. Can't recommend them enough!

Apify helps users to extract data from websites that do not have a REST API, automate tasks that involve interacting with web pages, and scale up web scraping and automation projects with cloud infrastructure and proxies. Users can save time and money by using pre-existing actors in Apify Store or building their own with open-source tools. They can also get reliable and structured data from any website without getting blocked, connect to hundreds of apps with ready-made integrations or custom webhooks and API, and share their actors with other developers and earn money.

The ease of creating Actors on Apify isn't just limited to the initial setup. The platform continues to impress during subsequent stages as well. Once the Actor is crafted, the process of deploying it is seamless, ensuring that my code runs efficiently without the need for extensive configurations. This convenience drastically reduces the time and effort required to get a scraping or automation task up and running.
