## 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.

# README

## Web Scraper

Self-healing AI web scraper using [Interfaze](https://interfaze.ai). Scrape any website with natural language prompts -- no selectors, no brittle scripts. Built-in residential proxies, bot block handling, and AI human behavior simulation.

### What it does

This actor takes a URL and an optional extraction prompt, then returns structured data from the page. It uses Interfaze's `scraper` run task which automatically handles JavaScript rendering, anti-bot protections, and dynamic content. When selectors break or pages change, the AI adapts -- no maintenance needed.

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `url` | string | Yes | The URL to scrape |
| `extractionPrompt` | string | No | Describe what data to extract. Defaults to extracting all content |
| `interfazeApiKey` | string | No | Your own Interfaze API key. If not provided, the actor uses its built-in key |

### Example input

```json
{
    "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/",
    "extractionPrompt": "Extract post titles and points"
}
```

### Output

The actor returns raw structured scraped content with both extracted data and the underlying HTML elements:

```json
{
    "name": "ai_scraper",
    "result": {
        "scraped_content": {
            "title": [
                "AI-Assisted Cognition Endangers Human Development",
                "Open Source Isn't Dead. Cal.com Just Learned the Wrong Lesson",
                "Google Broke Its Promise to Me. Now ICE Has My Data"
            ],
            "points": ["258 points", "197 points", "142 points"]
        },
        "scraped_elements": [...]
    }
}
```

### Use cases

- Price monitoring and comparison
- News and content aggregation
- E-commerce product data extraction
- Real estate listing scraping
- Job posting collection
- Any website where traditional scrapers break

### API key

You can optionally provide your own Interfaze API key in the input. Get one at [interfaze.ai/dashboard](https://interfaze.ai/dashboard).

# Actor input Schema

## `url` (type: `string`):

The URL to scrape.

## `extractionPrompt` (type: `string`):

Describe what data to extract from the page. If empty, extracts all content.

## `interfazeApiKey` (type: `string`):

Optional. Your own Interfaze API key. If not provided, the actor uses its built-in key. Get your own at https://interfaze.ai/dashboard

## Actor input object example

{
  "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/",
  "extractionPrompt": "Extract post titles and points"
}
```

# 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 = {
    "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/",
    "extractionPrompt": "Extract post titles and points"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("interfaze/apify-actors").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);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
    "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/",
    "extractionPrompt": "Extract post titles and points",
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("interfaze/apify-actors").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/",
  "extractionPrompt": "Extract post titles and points"
}' |
apify call interfaze/apify-actors --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,interfaze/apify-actors"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
