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.

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
- Open any actor on Apify Store (search "pry").
- Paste your target URLs into the
urlsfield. - 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.
