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

Scalebrowser provides a self-hosted infrastructure designed specifically for AI agents that require the capability to accomplish genuine tasks. Each unique profile maintains consistency in identity, cookies, passkeys, memory, and tasks, regardless of whether the system is restarted or if the user switches devices. It utilizes a modified Chromium engine alongside authentic local GPU values, enabling human-like interactions and effective handling of captchas, email and SMS verification codes, and TOTP, all while allowing browser-level prompt control to ensure agents can navigate beyond the limitations faced by standard automation tools. Users can connect through various methods including MCP, REST, Node.js, Python, or even direct CDP for versatile integration. This level of functionality empowers AI agents to perform in environments that typically resist automation attempts.
