API and Actor runs timed out for about 12 hours on 21 and 22 July 2026.\n\n**Scrapingdog.** A plain request is 1 credit, about $0.20 per 1,000 on Lite. API key only travels in the URL query string.\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### Scrapingdog\n\n1. Add dynamic=false unless the page needs JavaScript. It cuts the cost from 5 credits to 1, whatever the MCP description says\n2. Keep request URLs out of logs, since they carry api_key\n3. Set client timeouts above 60 seconds and retry on 429 or timeout. Failures aren't billed\n4. Prefer the parsed endpoints (Google, Amazon) over scraping the raw page when one exists\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Apify MCP Server or Scrapingdog?\n\nApify MCP Server scores 76.5 (BB) on agent readiness against Scrapingdog's 39.2 (E), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Do Apify MCP Server and Scrapingdog need an API key?\n\nApify MCP Server takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in. Scrapingdog needs an API key.
