Choose a task-specific Actor
Actors define particular collection or processing tasks. Read the Actor’s own documentation instead of assuming all Actors share one input.
Apify API
Explore reusable data-collection workflows through Apify Actors. Choose an Actor for the task, review its inputs and inspect the resulting dataset before using it in an Agent workflow.

What you can do with Apify
Supply the right inputs
Prepare a bounded URL list, query or other supported input for the chosen Actor.
Review dataset records
Inspect field names and incomplete entries before exporting or using the results.
Connect the next step
A reviewed dataset can support an Agent’s classification, research or comparison task.
Apify: input and output context
These fields describe the example workflow. The selected service’s documentation defines its actual request and response contract; review that contract before connecting an Agent.
| Example field | Purpose |
|---|---|
actor | The selected task and its documented input contract. |
input | The configuration passed to that Actor. |
run | Information about a particular execution when a real run is performed. |
dataset_items | Records produced by the chosen Actor; fields vary by task. |

Apify API FAQs
Is Apify only a Google Maps scraper?
No. Apify is a platform for Actors that handle different collection and processing tasks. Google Maps Scraper is one separate example.
Do all Actors produce the same fields?
No. Input requirements and output records belong to each Actor. The sample on this page is a conceptual directory dataset, not an Actor response contract.
