Apify

Apify is presented as a full-stack platform for web scraping, data extraction, AI agents, and automation, offering an ecosystem where developers can build, deploy, and publish web scrapers, AI agents, and automation tools calledActors.

• Apify Store: Over 4,000 pre-built scrapers and AI agents for web scraping and automation projects. Scrape social media, Google Maps, Google Search, and YouTube.
• Develop with open-source tools: Crawlee is an open-source library for building scrapers in Node.js and Python.
• Multiple libraries to choose from: Apify works great with both Python and JavaScript. Use Scrapy, Selenium, Playwright or Puppeteer.
• Actors plug into any workflow: Connect to hundreds of apps (like Zapier, Make, n8n, Clay) using ready-made integrations, or set them up with webhooks and our API.
• Code can be turned into an Apify Actor: Actors are serverless micro apps that are easy to develop, run, share, and integrate. The infrastructure, proxies, and storages are ready to go. Published Actors can be monetized on Apify Store.
• Deploy to the cloud: No configuration required. Use a single CLI command or build directly from GitHub.
• Runing Actors: Start from Apify Console, CLI, via API, or schedule an Actor to start at any time.
• Never get blocked: A large pool of datacenter and residential proxies, with smart IP address rotation with human-like browser fingerprints.
• Store and share crawling results: Use distributed queues of URLs to crawl. Store structured data or binary files. Export datasets in Excel, CSV, JSON, JSONL, XML, RSS, or HTML table.
• Monitor performance over time: Inspect all Actor runs, their logs, and runtime costs. Listen to events and get custom automated alerts.
• Publishing Actors: Developers can share their Actors on Apify Store and earn money.
• Web data to feed LLMs and AI agents: Extract text content from the web to feed AI agents, vector databases, fine-tune or train large language models (LLMs).
