Apify

Learn how to connect Apify to JetAdmin to run Actors, retrieve web data, and use Apify tools in AI Agents and workflows.

Apify is a web automation and data extraction platform that lets you run pre-built or custom Actors to collect data from websites, automate browser tasks, and process large amounts of online information.

What is an Actor?

An Actor is an executable application on Apify that performs a specific task, such as scraping a website, crawling pages, extracting structured information, or automating browser actions. Thousands of ready-made Actors are available in the Apify Store, or you can create your own.
