Apify
What is Apify?
Apify is a cloud platform for web scraping, browser automation, data extraction, and running serverless automation programs called Actors. It provides storage primitives such as datasets, key-value stores, and request queues, along with schedules, builds, logs, and webhooks for production-grade automation.
By integrating Apify with Konnectify, teams can trigger downstream workflows when Actor runs or builds change, start scraping jobs from business events, move extracted data into other tools, and orchestrate data, developer, and AI workflows without writing glue code.

API & Authentication
Authentication method: API Token authentication
This connector uses an Apify API token. In Konnectify, paste your token into the API Token field when creating the Apify connection. The token is used to authenticate requests to Apify’s API for the resources your Apify account can access.
The Apify API capabilities available in this connector cover:
- Actors, Actor versions, environment variables, builds, OpenAPI definitions, and logs
- Actor runs, task runs, synchronous and asynchronous execution, abort, resurrect, reboot, and metamorph operations
- Datasets, dataset items, dataset statistics, request queues, queue requests, locks, and queue heads
- Key-value stores, records, schedules, schedule logs, and webhook events for Actor runs and builds
For details about Apify endpoints and API behavior, see the official Apify API documentation.

Send scraped data to your data stack
When an Actor finishes successfully, retrieve the dataset output and pass it to another database, spreadsheet, CRM, or AI workflow.
Alert your team when scraping jobs fail
Detect failed or timed-out Actor runs and automatically fetch logs so your team can troubleshoot faster.
Run scraping tasks from business events
Start an Apify task or Actor whenever another app creates a lead, ticket, record, or campaign item.
