Actors are serverless cloud programs running on the Apify platform that are capable of performing arbitrary computing jobs, such as crawling a website or sending automated emails. They’re built by hundreds of developers from all over the world and you can be one of them.

Build an Actor in minutes
With web scraping and AI agent code templates, the code base of the Actor is done for you, saving you time and effort on optimizing your solution for the Apify platform. You can also import your code from any Git repository or directly from your local system using Apify CLI.
Introducing Creator plan
Creator plan is designed for developers who use the Apify platform to build their own Actors. For just $1/month, you get $500 of platform usage for the first 6 months, so that you can run and test your Actors without compromise.
Create an account
To get access to Apify Console, create an Apify account. It’s free and you get $5 of platform credits every month, which should be enough to help you test your Actors.
Build your Actor
Bring your code over to Apify or build something new directly on our platform (get inspired by Apify ideas). Make sure you fill out the readme and other relevant fields.
Request monetization
In the Publication menu, go to the Monetization tab. You can decide if you want your Actor to be free or paid via a monthly rental. You have complete control over the price of the rental, which will be sent to you every month.

Apify open source fair share
Apify will support and reward every open-source project on Apify Store. Just turn your code into an Actor and choose your reward tier.
Apify was built by developers, for developers. Developing on Apify can help you gain passive income simply by publishing your code in a form of an Actor to Apify Store. We will help you find customers, promote your Actor, take care of scaling, computing and all the other technicalities so you don't have to worry about infrastructure. Read the blog post from our CEO Jan Čurn that talks about why we launched this initiative.
Our Discord is the perfect place for discussing anything Apify-related. You can talk to other developers or even become a freelancer and offer custom solutions to customers!
Our ideas page can be a great source of inspiration! Users can publish or upvote their ideas until a developer takes ownership and turns the idea into a full-fledged Actor. If you are interested in building one of these Actors, send us an email to ideas@apify.com so we can reserve it for you.
Apify Store is just like any other marketplace. We believe that competition helps developers thrive and improve upon their code, especially when there are similar scrapers on the horizon! So, you can still build the Actor, but try to be imaginative when it comes to its set of features.
