About Apify
Apify retools Actors for the agentic web — agent payments and login-gated MCP access.
Apify runs a marketplace of 'Actors' — hosted scrapers and automations — and its recent releases aim squarely at AI agents as the new consumer. Agents can now pay per run in USDC via the x402 protocol with no account, reach login-gated apps through MCP connectors, and discover Actors through SEO-friendly published task pages. In parallel, Apify is tightening Actor permissions as agents run more code on users' behalf.
