What's an Apify Actor?
An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes. 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.
Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.
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.
Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.
For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the API section below.
Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: JavaScript/TypeScript (npm install apify-client) and Python (pip install apify-client).

💰 Pricing
| Event | Price (USD) | When it is charged |
|---|---|---|
Actor Start (apify-actor-start) | $5e-05 | Charged when the Actor starts running. Number of events charged depends on Actor memory (one event per GB, minimum one event). |
Tool call (tool-call) | $0.02 | Per-tool invocation via MCP Standby |
Pay-per-event: you pay only for what the run delivers. A run that delivers nothing bills no result events (only the actor-start event, when the actor defines one). Example: a run that delivers 100 results costs 100 × $0.02 = $2.00 plus the start fee.

FAQ
Q: Is the news data licensed? The server reads publicly available news pages and RSS feeds. For redistribution beyond internal analysis, check the target source's ToS.
Q: Does it cover non-English news? The covered sources (AP, BBC, NPR, Hacker News, Google News) are English-first.
Q: How fresh is the data? Each tool call fetches live data at call time.
Q: Can the AI agent stream news as it arrives? The MCP call pattern is request-response. For streaming, schedule the actor on a webhook and POST to your agent endpoint.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN> header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
