## 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.

### ⚖️ Legal, Compliance & Acceptable Use

**Please read this section carefully. By running this Actor you accept these terms.**

> **Bottom line:** this is a neutral, general-purpose software tool. It only
> retrieves information that is already **publicly available**. **You — the user —
> decide what to search for and how to use the results, so you alone are
> responsible and liable for that use.** The developer/operator of this Actor
> merely provides the tool and does not control, endorse, or take responsibility
> for what you do with it.

**1. Public data only.** The Actor accesses only publicly available information.
It does not log in on your behalf, bypass access controls, or retrieve private,
paywalled, or password-protected data.

**2. You are the responsible party (data controller).** For every run you start,
**you** act as the data controller and are solely responsible for using the
output lawfully. This includes having a valid **lawful basis** (for business/B2B
use this is typically *legitimate interest*), honoring **data-subject rights**
(access, correction, deletion, opt-out), and complying with all applicable laws
and regulations — including, where relevant, the **GDPR**, **UK GDPR**,
**CCPA/CPRA**, and similar privacy, marketing, and anti-spam laws (e.g.
ePrivacy, **CAN-SPAM**, **CASL**, **TCPA**).

**3. Not a Consumer Reporting Agency.** This Actor and its operator are **not a
consumer reporting agency (CRA)**, and the output is **not a "consumer report"**
under the U.S. Fair Credit Reporting Act (**FCRA**) or similar laws. You must
**NOT** use it, in whole or in part, to decide a person's eligibility for
credit, employment, housing/tenancy, insurance, or any other FCRA-regulated
purpose.

**4. Respect third-party terms.** You are responsible for complying with the
terms of service of any website or platform whose public data you choose to
process, and with any applicable intellectual-property rights.

**5. No warranty.** The Actor is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind.
Public data may be incomplete, outdated, or inaccurate — verify independently
before relying on it. Availability of sources and fields can change at any time.

**6. Prohibited use.** Do not use this Actor or its output for stalking,
harassment, discrimination, fraud, spam, or any unlawful or harmful purpose.

**7. Indemnification.** You assume all risk and liability arising from your use
of this Actor, and **you agree to defend, indemnify and hold the operator
harmless** from any and all claims, losses, fines, or liabilities — including
reasonable legal fees — resulting from your use or misuse of the Actor or its
output, or from your breach of these terms or of any law.

> This section is general information, **not legal advice**. If you are unsure
> whether your intended use is permitted, consult your own legal counsel before
> running this Actor.

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",

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).
