Actions
What your agents can do in Apify
4 actions. Each one is a tool your agents can call and a step your workflows can run.
Read 2
Look things up. Nothing changes.
Get an Actor run
Reads an Actor run by its ID: its status (READY, RUNNING, SUCCEEDED, FAILED, TIMING-OUT, TIMED-OUT, ABORTING or ABORTED), status message, start and finish times, cost in USD and defaultDatasetId.
Get dataset items
Reads items from a dataset, such as the results of an Actor run (its defaultDatasetId), as result (a list), 20 at a time by default.
Write 2
Create, change or send.
Run an Actor and get its results
Runs an Actor with the given input, waits for it to finish (at most timeout_secs, default 40 seconds) and returns the items it collected, as result (a list).
Start an Actor run
Starts an Actor with the given input and returns at once with the run's id, status (READY or RUNNING) and defaultDatasetId, where its results will be.
A person can approve first
Any write action can be set to wait for a person's approval before it runs, so an agent asks before it changes anything.
Connection
How it connects
Connect it once in the console, then give it to the agents and workflows that need it.
Paste an API key from your Apify account.
What you enter
- API token
Kept safe
- Credentials are stored encrypted with your organization's own keys.

- Calls go only to the tool's own servers.
Ideas
Ideas to start with
Starting points made only from the actions above. Mix them with any other tool your agents can use.
- 01
Ask about your Apify data
Ask a question in plain words. The agent can get an Actor run or get dataset items in Apify, then answers with what it found.
- 02
Let an agent update Apify
Have the agent run an Actor and get its results or start an Actor run in Apify as part of a larger task. Turn on approval and a person signs off on each change first.
- 03
Share what it finds in Slack
Give one agent Apify and Slack: it can get an Actor run in Apify and post a summary to a Slack channel in the same run.
