Apify tools for the Strands Agents SDK - web scraping, social media, search, and automation.

This package gives Strands agents access to Apify Actors: serverless cloud programs that scrape websites, social platforms, search engines, and e-commerce sites, returning structured JSON or Markdown.

Installation

pip install strands-apify

Set your Apify token:

export APIFY_TOKEN=your_apify_token_here

Get a token at Apify Console > Settings > API & Integrations.

Quick start

from strands import Agent
from strands_apify import APIFY_CORE_TOOLS

agent = Agent(tools=APIFY_CORE_TOOLS)
result = agent("Scrape https://example.com and summarize it.")

Or register specific tools:

from strands import Agent
from strands_apify import apify_scrape_url, apify_google_search_scraper

agent = Agent(tools=[apify_scrape_url, apify_google_search_scraper])

Convenience presets:

  • APIFY_CORE_TOOLS - generic Actor/task/dataset/scrape tools
  • APIFY_SOCIAL_TOOLS - Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, TikTok, Facebook
  • APIFY_SEARCH_TOOLS - Google Search, Google Maps, YouTube, multi-page crawler, e-commerce
  • APIFY_ALL_TOOLS - everything (use sparingly; many tools may overwhelm an LLM's tool choice)
