API and Actor runs timed out for about 12 hours on 21 and 22 July 2026.\n\n**Diffbot.** Extract returns typed JSON for articles, products, discussions and other page types with no selectors to write, under a public OpenAPI 3.1 contract and a free plan that needs no card. The API token travels in the URL query string, tokens carry no scopes, and no security page, certification or security.txt was found.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Apify MCP Server\n\n1. Call fetch-actor-details before call-actor to get the input schema and the price\n2. Use apify--web-fetch for one known URL and apify--rag-web-browser for search and read\n3. Read results with get-dataset-items and set `fields` and `limit`. The default is 20 rows\n4. Buy an AGI token for anything that isn't a Pay Per Event Actor, since direct `?payment=x402` refuses the rest. Tokens last 14 days and unused balance isn't refunded\n5. Ask for `get-actor-run-log`, not `get-actor-log`. The old name is ignored without an error\n\n### Diffbot\n\n1. Call `GET https://api.diffbot.com/v3/analyze?url=\u003cencoded URL\u003e\u0026token=\u003ctoken\u003e` when the page type is unknown. Use `/v3/article` or `/v3/product` to force one schema\n2. Keep the token out of logs and shared URLs. It sits in the query string, so any proxy or log that records the request URL records the token\n3. Stay under 5 calls a minute on Free, 5 a second on Startup and 25 a second on Plus. On 429 wait at least one second and back off\n4. Check a 200 response for `errorCode`. The official client raises `ExtractionError` when a 200 reports a failed extraction\n5. Set `useProxy=default` only when a site blocks the fetch. A proxied page costs 2 credits against 1\n6. Install `diffbot` from PyPI, not `diffbot-python`, which stopped at 0.3.0\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Apify MCP Server or Diffbot?\n\nApify MCP Server scores 76.5 (BB) on agent readiness against Diffbot's 54.3 (C), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Do Apify MCP Server and Diffbot need an API key?\n\nApify MCP Server takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in. Diffbot needs an API key. An agent can also pay Apify MCP Server per call over x402, with no account.\n\n### Can an agent call Apify MCP Server and Diffbot without installing anything?\n\nYes. Apify MCP Server has a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.apify.com and Diffbot at https://api.diffbot.com/v3.\n\n### Are Apify MCP Server and Diffbot open source?\n\nApify MCP Server is open source (MIT). No open-source release is listed for Diffbot.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/apify-mcp-vs-diffbot.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/apify-mcp-vs-diffbot.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"apify-mcp\", \"b\": \"diffbot\"}`.
