CONNECT APP

Build with Apify (OAuth)

Apify is the place to find, develop, buy and run cloud programs called actors. Use actors to turn any website into an API.

MCP

Give your agent Apify (OAuth) tools

Every Apify (OAuth) action is exposed as an MCP tool on Pipedream's remote server. Point a client at it with your end user's ID and Connect resolves that user's Apify (OAuth) account for each tool call — you store no tokens.

// accessToken: mint a short-lived token with the Connect SDK — see the MCP guide
const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://remote.mcp.pipedream.net/v3"),
  {
    requestInit: {
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
        "x-pd-project-id": "{project_id}",
        "x-pd-environment": "production",
        "x-pd-external-user-id": "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
        "x-pd-app-slug": "apify_oauth",
      },
    },
  },
)

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// e.g. run Get Dataset Items:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "apify_oauth-get-dataset-items",
  arguments: {
    datasetId: "Dataset ID",
    clean: true,
  },
})

API PROXY

Call the Apify (OAuth) API directly

For an endpoint with no pre-built tool, the Connect proxy forwards your request to the Apify (OAuth) API with the connected user's credentials attached. You store no tokens and write no refresh logic.

const resp = await pd.proxy.get({
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  accountId: "apn_xxxxxxx",
  url: "https://api.example.com/v1/me",
})

// Any allowed Apify (OAuth) endpoint works here. Pipedream attaches the
// connected account's credentials to the outgoing request.

SDK

Run Apify (OAuth) actions from your backend

Connect a user's Apify (OAuth) account once, then run Get Dataset Items on their behalf from your own code — TypeScript, Python, or plain HTTP.

import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "apify_oauth-get-dataset-items",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    apify_oauth: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    datasetId: "Dataset ID",
    clean: true,
  },
})

MULTI-APP

Use Apify (OAuth) with other popular apps

Most products don't stop at one integration. Pair Apify (OAuth) with the other apps your users rely on, and ship use cases that span both.

OAuth scopes

These are the scopes Pipedream's managed Apify (OAuth) OAuth client requests when one of your users connects an account. Supply your own OAuth client to request a different set.
