API and Actor runs timed out for about 12 hours on 21 and 22 July 2026.\n\n**ScrapingAnt.** 10,000 free credits a month with no card. API Basics puts the key in the query string, so it lands in logs.\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### ScrapingAnt\n\n1. Send the key in the `x-api-key` header rather than the query string\n2. Use `/v2/markdown` for LLM input, and set `browser=false` on static pages to pay 1 credit instead of 10\n3. Switch to `proxy_type=residential` only after a 423 (anti-bot) response. It raises a browser request from 10 to 125 credits\n4. On the free plan a second concurrent request gets 409. Wait for the first to finish\n5. Google, Bing and Yandex result pages come back as raw HTML through `/v2/general`, so you parse them yourself\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Apify MCP Server or ScrapingAnt?\n\nApify MCP Server scores 76.5 (BB) on agent readiness against ScrapingAnt's 35.5 (F), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Do Apify MCP Server and ScrapingAnt need an API key?\n\nApify MCP Server takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in. ScrapingAnt 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 ScrapingAnt without installing anything?\n\nYes. Apify MCP Server has a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.apify.com and ScrapingAnt at https://api.scrapingant.com/v2/general.\n\n### Are Apify MCP Server and ScrapingAnt open source?\n\nApify MCP Server is open source (MIT). No open-source release is listed for ScrapingAnt.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/apify-mcp-vs-scrapingant.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/apify-mcp-vs-scrapingant.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"apify-mcp\", \"b\": \"scrapingant\"}`.
