description: 'The Apify API (version 2) provides programmatic access to the Apify
platform. The API is organized
around RESTful
HTTP endpoints. You can download the complete OpenAPI schema of Apify API in the YAML or JSON formats. The source code is also available on GitHub. All requests and responses (including errors) are encoded in
JSON format with UTF-8 encoding,
with a few exceptions that are explicitly described in the reference. To access the API, we recommend using one of our API clients:
Stable API clients:
- For Node.js, we recommend the `apify-client` NPM
package. - For Python, we recommend the `apify-client` PyPI
package. Experimental API clients:
- For Java, we recommend the `apify-client` Maven central component. - For Rust, we recommend the `apify-client` crate. - For .NET, we recommend the `apify-client` Nuget package. - For PHP, we recommend the `apify-client` Packagist package. - For Go, we recommend the `apify-client` package. The clients'' functions correspond to the API endpoints and have the same
parameters. This simplifies development of apps that depend on the Apify
platform. :::note Important Request Details
- `Content-Type` header: For requests with a JSON body, you must include the `Content-Type: application/json` header. - Method override: You can override the HTTP method using the `method` query parameter. This is useful for clients that can only send `GET` requests. For example, to call a `POST` endpoint, append `?method=POST` to the URL of your `GET` request. :::
## Authentication
**You can find your API token on the
Integrations page in the
Apify Console.**
To use your token in a request, either:
- Add the token to your request''s `Authorization` header as `Bearer `. E.g., `Authorization: Bearer xxxxxxx`. More info. (Recommended). - Add it as the `token` parameter to your request URL. (Less secure). Using your token in the request header is more secure than using it as a URL
parameter because URLs are often stored
in browser history and server logs. This creates a chance for someone
unauthorized to access your API token. **Never share your API token or password with untrusted parties!**
For more information, see our
integrations documentation. ### Agentic payments
AI agents can authenticate and pay for Actor runs without an Apify account
using agentic payments. Instead of an API token, the request carries a
payment credential that both authorizes and pays for the call. Apify supports
the x402 protocol
(`PAYMENT-SIGNATURE` header) and
Skyfire
(`skyfire-pay-id` header). ## Basic usage
To run an Actor, send a POST request to the Run
Actor endpoint using either the
Actor ID code (e.g. `vKg4IjxZbEYTYeW8T`) or its name (e.g. `janedoe~my-actor`):
`https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/[actor_id]/runs`
If the Actor is not runnable anonymously, you will receive a 401 or 403
response code. This means you need to add your secret API
token to the request''s
`Authorization` header (recommended) or as a
URL query parameter `?token=[your_token]` (less secure). Optionally, you can include the query parameters described in the Run
Actor section to customize your
run. If you''re using Node.js, the best way to run an Actor is using the
`Apify.call()` method from the Apify
SDK. It
runs the Actor using the account you are currently logged into (determined
by the secret API token). The result is an Actor run
object and its output (if
any). A typical workflow is as follows:
1. Run an Actor or task using the Run
Actor or Run
task API endpoints. 2. Monitor the Actor run by periodically polling its progress using the Get
run API
endpoint. 3. Fetch the results from the Get
items API endpoint using the
`defaultDatasetId`, which you receive in the Run request response. Additional data may be stored in a key-value store. You can fetch them from
the Get record API endpoint
using the `defaultKeyValueStoreId` and the store''s `key`. **Note**: Instead of periodic polling, you can also run your
Actor or
task
synchronously.'
