Powerful Scraping at Scale—Love the Facebook & Meetup Scraper
What do you like best about the product?
How many websites we can scrape. We love the Facebook and meetup scraper
What do you dislike about the product?
I some times get lost with previous tools I have used.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am getting local business contact info to call and email. Its amazing to build a list.
Powerful Data Extraction with a Learning Curve
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the wide selection of prebuilt tools that Apify offers, especially because they are reliable for the specific sites I need. The actors available are reliable, allowing me to pull data and let Apify do its thing without me having to constantly interrupt. It's great that the exported data is structured nicely and cleanly, making it easy to integrate with other tools in my pipeline. I appreciate the comprehensive documentation that makes it easy to understand the inputs and outputs, reducing the need for trial and error and fitting well into my existing workflow. Also, the amount of data I can access is more than what I was using before, and I get it faster and cheaper. Functionality-wise, Apify is exactly what I need and has made my life much easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a bit of a learning curve. The user interface can be a bit overwhelming. There's a lot of options, which can feel suffocating at times. The initial learning curve is definitely something that is challenging.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Apify to scale pulling real estate data, eliminating manual data gathering and expensive services. It helps me run scrapers for fresh data, crucial in deal evaluation. Initially, the setup was challenging, but once familiar, it fits seamlessly and makes my life much easier.
Intuitive Scraping Bypasses Anti-Spam with AI Chatbot and n8n Workflows
What do you like best about the product?
It bypasses strong anti-spam protections on websites and lets me scrape useful data for my business. It’s also very intuitive. The pricing is OK for what it does. I also like the AI chatbot, which gives me answers whenever I need them. On top of that, I can use it very easily with N8N to build complex, powerful workflows.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it fails on a few scrapes, but it’s marginal and rare. In some cases, I think the issue is the website I’m scraping rather than Apify. Also, the AI bot sometimes disappears and then comes back the next day. It’s a bit weird, because I need it at times and it’s just not there.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me get around powerful anti-scraping and bot protections. It’s been useful for the company I run, especially for analyzing website data.
Powerful Data Scraping Across Many Sources
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it can scrape data from many different sources.
What do you dislike about the product?
The CU model is fair once you understand it, but estimating the cost of a new Actor before running it is largely guesswork. Clearer upfront estimates or a proper dry-run mode would help significantly with budgeting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Building and maintaining scraping infrastructure is a full-time job
Apify removes the need to manage proxies, CAPTCHA handling, retries, and site changes ourselves. For a small team, that alone frees up significant engineering time we'd otherwise spend on undifferentiated work.

Great for vibecoders
What do you like best about the product?
I discovered Apify a couple of months ago because I needed a way to scrape different sites (YC, WellFund, LinkedIn) for a small Saas I'm building (vibecoding) and it was super easy to incorporate the API calls into the program. The tricky thing is to find the right actor according to what you need, but once you do, it works perfectly and smoothly. The ability to test actors before you start making API calls is very useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
search console should be able to easily go to the main search console, not just the actors I've used
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
easy scraping
Apify Is the Core of My Data Infrastructure for Custom Scraping
What do you like best about the product?
I'm an independent real estate agent operating in the premium residential segment of a major European capital. Apify sits at the core of my data infrastructure — I use it both as a consumer of Store actors and as a developer building my own custom actors for niche data sources that don't expose official APIs.
What do you dislike about the product?
whats app could do better for scraping groups
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
scraping social media, scraping data from pay wall sites
A Very Useful Platform for Fast, Reliable Scraping
What do you like best about the product?
I use several actors on the store, and I also develop my own and contribute to the community. It’s a very useful website, and they provide a variety of services that people can benefit from a lot. I use social media and website scrapers, and I rely on them to get real information very quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don’t like that there are so few reviews, and that you can’t really get much feedback from the community.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It provides a great tool for creating datasets for any program or website. I use my own actors, and I can use them however I want on my websites.
