|
11 | 13 | You can connect Apify with practically any cloud service or web app. They allow you to pass your [actor]({{@link actors.md}}) run results to other services, process them, and receive notifications on important events.

15 | 17 | Integration allows you to combine separate applications and take advantage of their combined capabilities. It allows you to combine the abilities of applications that are not directly linked. This helps to free your data from isolation and make it more productive.

| 21 | +Integrations use [APIs](https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2018/01/understanding-using-rest-api/) and [webhooks]({{@link integrations/webhooks.md}}) to transfer data between applications. |
20 | 22 | Our [RESTful API](/api/v2#) allows you to control the Apify platform from any application.
|
21 | 23 | You can create [actors](/api/v2#/reference/actors/actor-collection/create-actor) and [tasks](/api/v2#/reference/actor-tasks/task-collection/create-task),
|
22 | 24 | [start and stop your runs](/api/v2#/reference/actor-tasks/run-task-synchronously/run-task-synchronously-(post)),
|
23 | 25 | and [manage your data](/api/v2#/reference/datasets/item-collection/put-items) using only HTTP requests (or our handy API clients [for JavaScript]({{@link apify_client_js.md}}) and [for Python]({{@link apify_client_python.md}})).
|

| -Meanwhile, webhooks allow you to perform tasks like sending HTTP requests or notifications when certain [events]({{@link webhooks/events.md}}) occur. |

You can find it on the [Integrations](https://console.apify.com/account?tab=integrations) page in the Apify Console. Give your token a reasonable description and never use one token for several services, much like you shouldn't use the same password for different accounts. |
