What is Apify?
Apify is a platform that serves as a marketplace for ready-to-run tools, often called Actors, designed for web scraping, data extraction, and automation. It is used by businesses and developers who need to collect real-time web data, automate online tasks, and integrate these capabilities with their applications or AI agents. Businesses use Apify to gather specific web data, track competitors, generate leads, and monitor social media. Developers can browse many pre-built Actors for various tasks or build and deploy their own custom tools. The platform also allows for easy connection and integration with AI agents and other applications.
