What it does
Apify is a web data platform for running Actors — serverless scrapers, crawlers, and browser automations that return structured datasets (JSON, CSV) through an API. The homepage explicitly targets AI apps and agents that need fresh web data (social, maps, e-commerce, generic site content) without operating their own proxy and browser farms.
