COMPOSIO INSTANT

What is Composio Instant?

Composio Instant lets your agent use paid APIs like Apify without a separate account or API key for each one. New accounts start with $2 of free credit.

No Apify account or key

Your agent calls Apify through Composio, so there is nothing to sign up for, store, or rotate.

Pay per call, at cost

$0.003 per search page, paid from your Composio balance with zero markup.

Works in any agent

Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other MCP clients, or your own code with the Composio SDK.

Works with your apps

Use Apify with Gmail, Slack, Google Sheets, and 1,700+ other apps you connect.
