Apify

Apify is a web scraping and data extraction platform. It provides an Actor Store with more than 3,000 ready-made cloud tools called Actors.

Apify components in BroxiAI run Actors to accomplish tasks like data extraction, content analysis, and SQL operations.

Prerequisites

• An Apify API token

Use the Apify Actors component in a flow

To use an Apify Actor in your flow:

1. Click and drag the Apify Actors component to your workspace.

2. In the Apify Actor component's Apify Token field, add your Apify API token.

3. In the Apify Actor component's Actor field, add your Actor ID. You can find the Actor ID in the Apify Actor Store. For example, the Website Content Crawler has Actor ID apify/website-content-crawler.

4. The component can now be used as a Tool to be connected to an Agent component, or configured to run manually. For more information on running the component manually, see the JSON Example in the Apify documentation.

Example flows

Here are some example flows that use the Apify Actors component.

Analyze social media profiles with multiple actors

Perform comprehensive social media research with multiple Apify Actors.
