## 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.

#### Hourly forecast (optional, up to 48 hours)

- Temperature and feels like
- Wind speed and direction
- Precipitation chance
- Humidity
- Weather condition

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `locations` | string\[] | `["/weather/us/ca/san-francisco"]` | Location URLs or paths. Use full URLs or paths like `/weather/us/ca/san-francisco`. |
| `forecastDays` | integer | `10` | Number of forecast days (1-15). |
| `includeHourly` | boolean | `false` | Include hourly forecast data (up to 48 hours). |
| `limit` | integer | `0` | Max locations to scrape (0 = unlimited). |

### Cost

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing. You are charged $0.005 per location scraped.

### Tips

- Weather Underground has excellent coverage worldwide. Use the site to find the correct URL path for your location.
- Hourly forecasts provide the most granular data but increase output size significantly.
- For bulk weather monitoring, use proxies to avoid rate limiting.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call lulzasaur/wunderground-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

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

```

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).
