Description

Apify provides the infrastructure developers need to build, deploy, and monetize web automation tools. The platform centers on Apify Store, a marketplace featuring 10,000+ community-built Actors. These are serverless programs that scrape websites, automate browser tasks, and power AI agents. Developers create Actors using JavaScript, Python, or Crawlee (Apify's open-source crawling library), then publish them to the Store. When other users run your Actor, you earn money. Apify manages the infrastructure, handles payments, and processes monthly payouts to thousands of active developers. Apify Store offers ready-to-use solutions for common use cases: extracting data from Amazon, Google Maps, and social platforms; monitoring prices; generating leads; and much more. Under the hood, Actors automatically manage proxy rotation, CAPTCHA solving, JavaScript-heavy pages, and headless browser orchestration. The platform scales on demand with 99.95% uptime and maintains SOC2, GDPR, and CCPA compliance. For workflow automation, Apify connects to Zapier, Make, n8n, and LangChain. The platform also offers an MCP server, enabling AI assistants like Claude to discover and invoke Actors programmatically.

Description

Bridgly is a cloud-based API service designed to deliver structured JSON responses for public information sourced from various social and developer platforms. With a total of 85 distinct endpoints, it offers data pertaining to profiles, posts, comments, followers, job listings, companies, repositories, hashtags, videos, and transcripts from platforms including LinkedIn, X, Reddit, GitHub, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Developers can interact with these endpoints via HTTPS requests, utilize an official TypeScript/JavaScript SDK, work through a command-line interface, or connect to a hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that serves compatible AI clients. Access to the API requires a shared API key and a credit balance, which is necessary for utilizing the supported platforms; each data request will deduct credits based on the specific endpoint's pricing structure. This service caters specifically to developers and teams engaged in data enrichment, research, monitoring, and AI-agent workflows that leverage publicly accessible data from these platforms. Notably, the endpoints allow for read-only data access, eliminating the need for users to link their social media accounts. Consequently, Bridgly empowers developers with a streamlined approach to gathering and utilizing public data effectively.
