Apify is a web scraping platform for developers to scale data collection and automate tedious workflows.

Data is the foundation of everything we do, from marketing research to implementing critical business decisions. But collecting large amounts of data takes too long.

With Apify, you can speed up your workflows at scale with ready-made tools. Just enter your search term or keyword and start extracting data for your project. With hundreds of scrapers (called “actors”) in the Apify store, you’ll definitely find one for your automation project.

The Google Search Results scraper extracts organic and paid results, ads, and queries, making it an asset for SEO and SEM marketers.

The Etsy scraper, which retrieves descriptions, images, seller details, and other product details, is ideal for Etsy sellers who want to skyrocket their sales.

And then there’s the Crunchbase scraper, which extracts organization listings, acquisition data, and founding years.

Once you’re ready to get the data, run it and export it in a variety of formats such as HTML, JSON, CSV, Excel, and XML. Better yet, preview the data before downloading it.

Got a web scraping or automation project that requires all hands on deck? Apify provides custom end-to-end solutions. Either hire an Apify-approved freelance developer (who goes through a rigorous onboarding process) or Apify’s very own world class experts.

The Apify community often adds new actors, so upvote them or submit your own idea. The more votes an idea gets, the sooner it will be released in the community.

Its well-documented interface also makes it easy to integrate with your existing systems.

Apify recently launched Crawlee, an open source web scraping community. Build and maintain your scrapers quickly and avoid getting blocked with auto-generated human-like fingerprints and headless browsers. You can also scrape JSON APIs on the platform.

Web scraping is an insanely complex and dynamic environment. Sharpen your skills with Apify’s very own web scraping academy and Discord community.
