Analytics & Data

What the Apify connector can do

Apify is a platform for building, deploying, and managing web scraping and automation tools, known as Actors.

One connection, many Spaces

Connect Apify once, then decide which Spaces can use it in threads, skills, automations, and coding work.

Representative actions

  • Build Actor

    Tool to build an Actor with specified configuration. Use when you need to create a new build of an Actor with a specific version. The build process compiles the Actor's source code into a Docker image.

  • Abort Actor Build

    Tool to abort an Actor build that is starting or running. Use when you need to cancel a build in progress. Builds in terminal states (FINISHED, FAILED, ABORTING, TIMED-OUT) are not affected.

  • Delete Actor Build

    Tool to delete an Actor build permanently. Use when you need to remove a specific build by its ID. The default build for an Actor cannot be deleted. Only users with build permissions can delete builds.

  • Get Actor Build

    Tool to get detailed information about a specific Actor build. Use when you need to retrieve complete build details by build ID. Optionally wait for the build to finish using the waitForFinish parameter to avoid polling.

  • Get Actor Build Log

    Tool to retrieve the log file for a specific Actor build. Use when you need to inspect logs generated during an Actor build process. Only the trailing 5 million characters of the log are stored.

FAQ

Questions people ask before connecting Apify

Can Claude use Apify?

Yes. Add a Apify connection to a Space that runs Claude, then use its approved tools and data from any channel in that Space.

Can Codex work with Apify through Type?

Yes. Add a Apify connection to a Space that runs Codex, then use its approved tools and data from any channel in that Space.

Is this the same as a Apify MCP server?

Not exactly. Type uses connectors and connections to give selected Spaces access to approved app tools and data. Some connectors use hosted MCP, while others use OAuth, API keys, service accounts, or custom APIs.
