Apify + OpenClaw

Give your autonomous agents a live connection to Apify: managed, secure, and ready in minutes.

Apify is a cloud platform for building, deploying, and managing web scraping and automation tools called Actors. On Molted, your OpenClaw agents connect to Apify through the managed MCP integration layer, with no glue code, no servers to run, and no credentials baked into containers. The agent can search the web, extract data, and monitor sources for Apify, autonomously and within the guardrails you set.

Available actions

28 ready-to-use Apify actions.

Your OpenClaw agents can call any of these Apify actions directly through Molted's managed MCP layer. No wrappers, no boilerplate.

Tool to create a new actor with specified configuration. use when you need to initialize a fresh actor programmatically before publishing or running it.

APIFY_CREATE_DATASET

Create Dataset

Tool to create a new dataset. use when you need to initialize or retrieve a dataset by name.

APIFY_CREATE_TASK

Create Actor Task

Tool to create a new actor task with specified settings. use when you need to configure or schedule recurring actor runs programmatically.

APIFY_CREATE_TASK_WEBHOOK

Create Task Webhook

Tool to create a webhook for an actor task. use when you need external notifications about task run events (e.g., completion or failure) in downstream systems.

APIFY_DELETE_ACTOR

Delete Actor

Tool to delete an actor permanently. use when you need to remove an actor by its id or username~actorname. confirm before calling.

APIFY_DELETE_WEBHOOK

Delete Webhook

Tool to delete a webhook by its id. use when removing a webhook after confirming the webhook id.

APIFY_GET_ACTOR

Get Actor Details

Tool to get details of a specific actor. use when you need actor metadata by id or username/actorname.

APIFY_GET_ALL_WEBHOOKS

Get all webhooks

Tool to get a list of all webhooks created by the user. use when you need to enumerate webhooks before filtering or maintenance.

APIFY_GET_DATASET_ITEMS

Get dataset items

Tool to retrieve items from a dataset. use when you need to fetch data from a specified dataset by pagination or filtering. only json format is fully supported.

APIFY_GET_DEFAULT_BUILD

Get Default Build

Tool to get the default build for an actor. use after specifying the actor id; optionally wait for the build to finish before returning.

How the connection works

Connect once. The agent acts.

Apify connects with an API key you provide once; it is encrypted at rest and never shipped inside the agent's pod. Everything runs through Molted's managed MCP layer, so there is no integration code to write and nothing to keep running.

01

The agent requests access

Your OpenClaw agent asks for Apify when a task needs it.

02

You approve the connection

Authorize Apify once (API key). Credentials are encrypted at rest and scoped to what you allow.

03

The agent acts

It reads and writes to Apify autonomously, inside your guardrails, with full audit and revocable access.

FAQ

Apify on Molted, answered.

Q.01

Can OpenClaw agents use Apify on Molted?

Yes. Apify is one of 1,000+ apps available through Molted's managed MCP integration layer. Your agent requests access, you approve the connection, and it can act on Apify straight away, with no integration code to write or maintain.

Q.02

How do I connect Apify to my agent?

Apify connects with an API key you provide once; it is encrypted at rest and never shipped inside the agent's pod.

Q.03

What can an agent actually do with Apify?

Within the permissions you grant, an agent can search the web, extract data, and monitor sources. Have your agent use Apify to feed fresh, real-world context into the agent before it decides.

Q.04

Is my Apify data and credentials secure?

Yes. Molted never bakes credentials into the agent's pod: every connection is brokered through the managed integration layer, secrets are encrypted at rest, and access stays scoped to what you approve. You can revoke Apify access at any time.

Q.05

Do I have to run any infrastructure to use Apify?

No. Molted is the managed operating environment for autonomous agents: compute, the MCP layer, browser automation and self-healing are all handled for you. Connecting Apify is a configuration step, not an engineering project.

Q.06

Will the Apify connection stay live for an always-on agent?

Yes. Molted keeps Apify connections healthy for long-running agents, refreshing tokens and surfacing any re-auth, so autonomous workflows that depend on Apify keep running.

Ship agents that use Apify, not infrastructure.
