## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

### FAQs

**How many news articles can I get?**
The news mode fetches from both the RSS feed (up to 10 latest) and HTML news pages. Use `maxItems` up to 500 to get more articles.

**Can I filter news by topic?**
Yes — use the `category` filter to restrict results to specific topics like `bitcoin`, `defi`, or `regulation`.

**Does this include full article text?**
Use `mode=articleDetails` with a specific article URL to get the full article content. The `news` mode returns summaries/excerpts.

**Is CryptoSlate accessible without JavaScript?**
Yes — CryptoSlate's news and coins pages render server-side HTML, making them accessible with a standard HTTP client without browser automation.

**How often should I run this?**
For news monitoring, run hourly. For coin prices, run every 5–15 minutes depending on your needs.
