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

Outcrawl is a cloud-based service that provides web data and browser infrastructure tailored for developers who create AI agents and data pipelines. It offers an API and developer tools designed to extract data from specific URLs into Markdown or structured JSON format, explore websites, conduct web searches, and retrieve page content, as well as initiate cloud browsers via the Chrome DevTools Protocol and execute browser-agent tasks. Users benefit from a shared credit balance for these services, with varying costs based on the operations performed. Developers can utilize the service through SDKs in TypeScript and Python, a command-line interface, or an MCP server, and can seamlessly connect browser sessions using Playwright over CDP. Moreover, sessions and agent executions can be recorded, allowing for detailed step-by-step replay. The platform is particularly beneficial for automated research, web data collection, browser-based workflows, and executing agent tasks that require interaction with various websites, making it a versatile tool for developers in the field. This flexibility enhances productivity and streamlines the development process, ensuring that users can efficiently tackle a wide range of web-related tasks.
