About Apify is a full-stack web scraping and automation platform helping anyone get value from the web. At its core is Apify Store, a marketplace with over 10,000 Actors where developers build, publish, and monetize automation tools. Actors are serverless cloud programs that extract data, automate web tasks, and run AI agents. Developers build them using JavaScript, Python, or Crawlee, Apify's open-source library. Build once, publish to Store, and earn when others use it. Thousands of developers do this - Apify handles infrastructure, billing, and monthly payouts. Apify Store has ready-made Actors for scraping Amazon, Google Maps, social media, tracking prices, lead-gen, and more. Actors handle proxies, CAPTCHAs, JavaScript rendering, headless browsers, and scaling. Everything runs on Apify's cloud with 99.95% uptime. SOC2, GDPR, and CCPA compliant. Integrate with Zapier, Make, n8n, and LangChain. Apify's MCP server lets AI like Claude dynamically discover and use Actors		About String Web Access API is a hosted web-data API for developers and teams building AI agents, research applications, and data workflows. It searches the web, fetches individual URLs, and maps public sites, returning page content as clean text or Markdown. Requests can use browser rendering, proxy routing, and other escalation options to retrieve pages that need JavaScript or are protected by anti-bot systems; compliance-sensitive teams can disable CAPTCHA solving per request. The service is available over HTTP and through an MCP server that works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Perplexity, and other compatible clients. Developers can use it to provide live web content to AI workflows, research companies and products, collect source material, and discover pages across a site. A free account includes usage credit and monthly plans provide additional usage; request charges vary by operation.
