## 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.

- **Multiple Aspect Ratios**: Supports Square (1:1), Widescreen (16:9), Mobile (9:16), and more.
- **Image-to-Image**: Provide reference URLs to guide the AI generation.
- **Failover Protection**: Built-in redundancy across global endpoints ensures maximum uptime.

# Actor input Schema

## `prompt` (type: `string`):

Describe the image you want to generate. Be as detailed as possible for best results.

## `resolution` (type: `string`):

Output resolution tier. Higher resolution takes longer to generate.

## `aspectRatio` (type: `string`):

Output image dimensions ratio.

## `quality` (type: `string`):

Rendering quality level. High quality produces the most detailed results.

## `referenceImageUrls` (type: `array`):

Provide publicly accessible image URLs to use as visual references (image-to-image generation).

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "prompt": "A futuristic city with flying cars and neon lights, cinematic lighting, 8k resolution, highly detailed",
  "resolution": "1K",
  "aspectRatio": "1:1",
  "quality": "high"
}
```

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "prompt": "A futuristic city with flying cars and neon lights, cinematic lighting, 8k resolution, highly detailed"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("ai_stuffapi/gpt-image-2-generator").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

echo '{
  "prompt": "A futuristic city with flying cars and neon lights, cinematic lighting, 8k resolution, highly detailed"
}' |
apify call ai_stuffapi/gpt-image-2-generator --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,ai_stuffapi/gpt-image-2-generator"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
