Integrate Apify with 500+ apps and services

To use Apify integration in n8n, start by adding the HTTP Request node to your workflow canvas and authenticate it using a generic authentication method. Once connected, you can make custom API calls to Apify to query the data you need using the URLs you provide, for example: you can create records by sending a POST request to the appropriate Apify endpoint with the necessary data in the body. To update existing records, use a PATCH request with the updated data. For retrieving data, execute a GET request to fetch specific information based on your query parameters.

Yes, with generic authentication, you'll typically need to provide endpoint URLs, headers, parameters, and any other authentication details specific to Apify:

• Find the Apify API documentation and see if the API supports HTTP requests;

• Most APIs require some form of authentication and you can configure this in the HTTP Request mode (Basic Auth, Custom Auth, Digest Auth, Header Auth, OAuth1 API, OAuth2 API, Query Auth).

Definitely! n8n enables you to create workflows that combine Apify with other apps and services. For instance, you can automate data extraction from websites using Apify and then send that data to Google Sheets or trigger notifications in Slack. The possibilities are vast, allowing you to create seamless integrations that enhance your productivity. Just connect the Apify nodes in your n8n workflow to make it all happen.

Common use cases for Apify automation include data scraping to gather information from websites, scheduling regular data extraction to keep datasets up-to-date, and integrating data processing workflows by sending scraped data to other applications for analysis or storage. Additionally, it can be used for monitoring changes on webpages and triggering alerts when specific conditions are met. These integrations help streamline various business processes and enhance operational efficiency. With n8n, you can customize these workflows to fit your specific needs and extend them by adding other 400+ integrations or incorporating advanced AI logic.

n8n's pricing model is designed to be both affordable and scalable, which is particularly beneficial when integrating with Apify. Unlike other platforms that charge per operation or task, n8n charges only for full workflow executions. This means you can create complex workflows with Apify, involving thousands of tasks or steps, without worrying about escalating costs. For example, if your Apify workflows perform around 100k tasks, you could be paying $500+/month on other platforms, but with n8n's pro plan, you start at around $50. This approach allows you to scale your Apify integrations efficiently while maintaining predictable costs.
