# Apify

> Apify platform provider.

Apify platform provider. Exposes GitHub repository scraping plus the shared async-run plumbing (run status and dataset retrieval) used by the brand-specific Apify scrapers such as Zillow, Amazon, and Booking. This is not a general scraper bucket; the social and company scrapers are their own brand providers (x, crunchbase, reddit, tiktok, instagram, linkedin, pitchbook).

3 endpoints available through Lava's AI Gateway. See the [Apify API docs](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) for full documentation.

<Info>Supports both **managed** (Lava's API keys) and **unmanaged** (bring your own credentials) mode.</Info>
