Apify

What is the Apify tool?

The Apify tool is a built-in capability in the Agno framework that allows AI agents to run apify actors for web automation tasks. When added to an agent in Agno Builder, the agent can autonomously decide when to invoke this tool based on the user's request.

This tool requires a APIFY_API_TOKEN environment variable. Get your API key at console.apify.com.

How to use Apify in Agno Builder

1. 1

   Create an agent

   Drag an Agent node onto the canvas in Agno Builder, or use one of the built-in templates.

2. 2

   Enable Apify

   Click the agent, go to the Tools tab, and toggle on "Apify" from the core category.

3. 3

   Add your API key

   Enter your APIFY_API_TOKEN in the tool configuration. Your key stays in your browser and is never stored on our servers.

4. 4

   Test in chat

   Open the chat panel and send a message. The agent will automatically use Apify when relevant.

5. 5

   Export Python code

   Click File > Export Python to get clean, runnable code with the correct imports for Apify.

Python code example

This is the code Agno Builder exports when you use Apify:

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.openai import OpenAIChat
from agno.tools.apify import ApifyTools

agent = Agent(
    name="Apify Agent",
    model=OpenAIChat(id="gpt-4o"),
    tools=[ApifyTools()],
    instructions=["Use the apify tool to help the user."],
    markdown=True,
)

agent.print_response("Help me with a apify task")

Install with: pip install agno # + set APIFY_API_TOKEN
