abort

Abort run on Apify

Any data already scraped and pushed to the dataset is preserved. The run status changes to ABORTED. Use this to stop runaway scrapes or when sufficient data has been collected. Graceful shutdown depends on the actor implementation. Abort an active Apify actor run

get

Get account limits on Apify

Essential for monitoring consumption and avoiding overage charges. Check Apify account subscription limits and compute unit usage

get

Get dataset items on Apify

The datasetId is found in the run object (defaultDatasetId). Supports pagination via limit (max items per page) and offset (starting position). Returns an array of JSON objects containing the scraped data fields. Use limit=1000 for bulk downloads. Export structured JSON data from an Apify dataset

get

Get key value store on Apify

Key-value stores hold arbitrary data like screenshots (OUTPUT), configuration files, or intermediate results. The storeId comes from the run object (defaultKeyValueStoreId). Common keys include "OUTPUT", "INPUT", and "SCREENSHOT". Retrieve an item from an Apify actor key-value store

get

Get run on Apify

Poll this endpoint to track long-running scrapes. Check the status and metadata of a specific Apify actor run

list

List actors on Apify

Includes owned actors and those from the Apify Store that have been saved. Each entry contains the actorId, name, description, and default run configuration. Use the actorId to trigger runs. List all accessible actors in the Apify account

list

List webhooks on Apify

RUN.SUCCEEDED, ACTOR.RUN.FAILED), target URLs, and associated actor IDs. Webhooks enable event-driven architectures by notifying external systems when actor runs complete or fail. List all configured webhooks in the Apify account

push

Push to queue on Apify

Pass the queueId (from the run object) and a JSON string array of request objects, e.g., [{"url":"https://...","uniqueKey":"..."}]. This enables dynamic crawling where new pages are discovered and added during execution. Dynamically push new URLs to an active Apify request queue

run

Run actor on Apify

Pass the actorId (e.g., "apify/web-scraper" or a custom ID) and a JSON string with the input configuration (start URLs, proxy settings, max pages, etc.). Returns immediately with a runId. Use ap.get_run to poll for completion and ap.get_dataset_items to retrieve extracted data. Start an Apify actor asynchronously with custom JSON input

run

Run actor sync on Apify

run_actor but waits for the actor to finish before returning. The response includes the full run object with defaultDatasetId for immediate data retrieval. Best for short-lived actors (under 5 minutes). For long-running scrapes, use the async ap.run_actor instead. Run an Apify actor and block until completion (synchronous)

Security & Code Integrity Audit

Every tool in the Apify MCP Server is continuously audited by the Vinkius Security Engine. We guarantee zero-trust payload isolation, strict data boundaries, and deterministic execution for enterprise-grade AI agents.

How Vinkius protects your data

Can I set different limits for each virtual assistant on my team?

Absolutely. You have full control in our command center. You can create an AI agent that only "reads" data so the support team can answer questions, and another superpowered agent that can "edit" and "create" information exclusively for your operations team. Each AI gets exactly the level of access you allow.

Is there a risk of the AI "going crazy" and deleting important company data?

No. With Vinkius, the AI operates on "rails". It can only make the exact moves you authorized in the tool's settings. It cannot invent routes, access other networks in your company, or decide to delete random files. If the action isn't in the approved catalog, the attempt is blocked instantly.

How does the AI access my passwords and credentials?

It simply doesn't. On Vinkius, your passwords, API keys, and login details are kept in a secure vault. The AI (like ChatGPT or Claude) merely "asks" Vinkius to perform the task. Vinkius opens the door, does the work, and hands the result back to the AI. Your credentials are never seen, read, or learned by the artificial intelligence.

Can my AI automatically detect scraping timeouts and debug the failure?

Absolutely. Because your agent can track real execution flows with get_run, it's aware if it transitions to TIMED-OUT or FAILED states. Subsequently, you can ask the agent to examine the KV Store log outputs ensuring the underlying issue (e.g. captcha block, blocking proxy) is identified immediately.

Automated Workflows using Apify

Add the Apify tool to your AI Agents. The toolkit allows Claude and ChatGPT to securely fetch and update targeted data.

Next-Gen web automation Operations

The Apify toolkit provides secure access to web automation functions. It enables conversational agents to manage ship it settings deterministically.

Cursor Copilot for data extraction

Add data extraction functionality to your custom chatbots. The Apify MCP handles the payload formatting required for ChatGPT and Claude to interface with ship it endpoints.
