## 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).

### Pricing Model

This Actor uses **Pay-Per-Event (PPE)** pricing, which means you only pay for what you use. This transparent pricing model ensures you're charged fairly based on your actual usage.

#### How Pay-Per-Event Works

**Base Charge:**

- A small base fee is charged when the Actor starts

**Per-Result Charge:**

- You're charged for each result (profile or post) that is successfully scraped and added to the dataset
- This includes both profile records and individual post records

**Why This Model?**

- **Fair Pricing:** Pay only for successful data extraction, not for failed attempts or setup overhead
- **Transparent Costs:** You know exactly what you're paying for - each piece of data you receive
- **Scalable:** Perfect for both small tests and large-scale scraping operations
- **No Hidden Fees:** No monthly subscriptions or usage limits - just pay per result

**Example:**

- Starting the Actor: 1 base charge
- Scraping 1 profile with 10 posts: 1 profile + 10 posts = 11 result charges
- Total: 1 base charge + 11 result charges

### Requirements

📋 **Apify Plan Requirements:**

- **Free Plan:** Limited to 1-10 posts per profile (maxPosts: 1-10)
- **Paid Plans:** Unlimited posts per profile (maxPosts: 0 for unlimited, or any number like 1000)

**Post Limits:**

- Free users: Can scrape 1-10 posts per profile. Setting `maxPosts` to 0 or >10 will automatically cap at 10
- Paid users: Can scrape unlimited posts. Set `maxPosts` to `0` for unlimited, or enter any number (e.g., `1000`) to scrape that many posts

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "profileUsernames": [
    "dreamcardiarist"
  ]
}' |
apify call tictechid/vanzi-lemon8-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,tictechid/vanzi-lemon8-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).
