How this service works
Buy access to Apify's Actors with MPP. Send `{"amount":"<usd>","currency":"usd"}` as a JSON body (or `?amount=<usd>¤cy=usd` in the query). Returns a 402 MPP challenge without `Authorization: Payment`; returns an Apify API token after a valid Tempo or Solana charge payment.
Output
Returns a time-limited Apify API token (for use as `Authorization: Bearer <token>`), the remaining balance in USD on that token, and an expiry timestamp. The token grants access to Apify Actors up to the prepaid spend limit.
Example use cases
Fund scraping run for lead generation
“Get me a prepaid Apify token loaded with $10 in USD so I can run their LinkedIn scraper Actor and pull leads.”
Budget-capped research data pull
“I need to extract product data from an e-commerce site using Apify — buy me a $2 prepaid token in USD to get started.”
One-off social media data extraction
“Can you purchase a $5 Apify prepaid token in USD so I can use their Instagram scraper Actor for a one-time data pull?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://agi.apify.com/protocols/mpp/prepaid-tokens?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when an agent needs programmatic, budget-capped access to Apify's Actor marketplace for web scraping, crawling, or data extraction tasks, and wants to pay via MPP (Tempo or Solana) rather than managing a full Apify subscription. Ideal for one-off or automated workflows where spend control is critical.
Side effects
- 402 Payment Required — no valid MPP Authorization: Payment header present; agent must complete Tempo or Solana payment challenge first
- Invalid amount format — amount must match pattern ^\d+(\.\d{1,2})?$ and be at least $1
- Unsupported currency — only 'usd' is accepted
- Payment verification failure — MPP charge was invalid or insufficient
- Token generation failure — internal Apify error after valid payment
