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

PDFik is an async job API that renders URLs or raw HTML to PDF on sandboxed headless Chromium. POST a page, get a job ID back in milliseconds, and a signed webhook (HMAC-SHA256 over the raw body) fires when the file is ready — polling and direct download endpoints exist too. Failed webhook deliveries are retried with back-off and then dead-lettered rather than dropped. The tooling is developer-first: typed SDKs for JavaScript/TypeScript, Python and Java; a public OpenAPI 3.1 spec you can feed to any generator; and an open-source, statically-linked CLI whose wkhtmltopdf compatibility mode accepts wkhtmltopdf's own flags — each one mapped, accepted with a warning, or refused with a reason, never silently ignored. A free test mode runs the entire pipeline without touching quota, so CI can verify signatures and download flows for free. Free plan: 100 PDFs / 0.5 GB per month, no credit card required. Paid plans from $29/month. 99.9% uptime SLA.
