Apify

Full-stack web scraping and data extraction platform built around a reusable Actor model. Actors are containerized scrapers that run in the cloud, expose an API, and can be scheduled or chained into workflows. Extract real-time data from social media, e-commerce sites, Google Maps, and arbitrary websites to feed AI applications, RAG pipelines, or analytics.

Trusted by enterprises like Intercom, Groupon, and the European Commission for consumer protection use cases. SOC2, GDPR, and CCPA compliant with monitored uptime. Differentiates from generic scrapers through its marketplace of 21,000+ pre-built Actors and the open source Crawlee library for building reliable crawlers in Node.js or Python.

Key capabilities:

• Marketplace of 21,000+ Actors covering TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Amazon, Google Maps, and generic website content
• Build custom scrapers with Crawlee, Puppeteer, Playwright, Scrapy, Selenium, or BeautifulSoup via code templates
• REST API, JavaScript SDK, Python SDK, and CLI for development and programmatic runs
• Integrations with LangChain, LlamaIndex, Pinecone, Airbyte, Zapier, and MCP clients
• Proxy rotation, browser fingerprint anonymization, and cloud deployment with automatic scaling

Teams use Apify to populate LLM knowledge bases and vector databases, monitor social channels and competitors, generate leads, and run product research. Developers invoke Actors via API from scripts or CI pipelines, schedule recurring runs, and export data to JSON, CSV, or external destinations.
