Apify

Apify is a cloud platform for running web scrapers and browser automations. Each program on it is called an Actor. You can write your own in JavaScript or Python, often with the open-source Crawlee library, or start from the Apify Store, where developers publish ready-made Actors for many sites and tasks.

Runs happen on Apify servers. The platform handles scheduling, retries, storage for datasets and files, and an API for starting runs and fetching results, so a team can call a scraper from its own code or connect it to tools such as Zapier and Make.

Data teams use it when they want scrapers to run without maintaining servers. Store Actors are written by many authors, so check who maintains the one you pick, how recently it was updated, and whether the target site allows the collection you plan.
