Apify Actors

Pry ships as 109 store-ready Apify Actors generated from our open Actor Factory. Each actor runs Pry's 15-tier adaptive anti-bot engine on Apify's infrastructure with pay-per-event (PPE) billing - no self-hosting required.

Full catalog: 109 actors across scraping, monitoring, public-API data, compliance and security - all pay-per-event with margins verified by the factory's economics model (break-even math, not vibes).

New: market-gap niches (15 actors)​

The latest batch targets underserved data niches with no first-class Apify coverage - new additions include:

  • App store ranks — Apple App Store + Google Play rankings, reviews, ASO signals
  • AI model pricing — LLM API price tracking across providers
  • GPU cloud prices — GPU instance pricing across cloud providers
  • EV charging stations — station locations, pricing, availability
  • Insurance rates — public insurance quote and rate signals
  • Ticket resale — secondary-market event ticket price monitoring
  • ...and more market-intel, pricing/rate, and data-pipeline niches.

Quick start​

  1. Open any actor on Apify Store (search "pry").
  2. Paste your target URLs into the urls field.
  3. Click Start - results stream into the dataset as each page finishes.

How billing works​

Actors use pay-per-event: you are charged per successfully processed item, never for idle time. The platform also bills two synthetic events (apify-actor-start, apify-default-dataset-item) automatically. Your spending limit is always respected - runs stop gracefully at the cap.

Building your own​

The Actor Factory is open source. Define an ActorSpec, and the factory generates a complete .actor package (spec files, Dockerfile, PPE runtime, store README) that passes Apify's automated quality gates:

from pathlib import Path

from actor_factory import ActorSpec, PricingEvent, generate_actor

spec = ActorSpec(
name="my-actor",
title="My Actor",
description="...",
version="1.0",
pricing_events=(
PricingEvent(
name="item-processed",
title="Item processed",
description="One input item processed.",
price_usd=0.001,
),
),
)
generate_actor(spec, Path("actors/my-actor"))

See the Actor Factory source for the full methodology.
