easy automation data scraping time saving
Apify simplifies building and using crawlers and scrapers
What do you like best about the product?
The most useful thing so far has been the "store", which lets you use scrapers others have built. They are also verified by Apify so you don't get shoddy results. For a recent project, the store had solutions I could use instantly without coding anything. When the store has an actor that fits your use case, you can save a huge amount of time and money.
When there's not a built-in solution for you, you'll need to spend a day learning how to use their all-purpose web scraper and write your own. Thankfully, the process is straightforward and should be quick for most folks with development experience.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the "actors" available in the store haven't been reliable. 1 of the 5 I've used so far doesn't seem to work and the developer hasn't responded to my issue.
The documentation also feels a bit sparse, though it's not too bad.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm working on a project that scrapes data from a few major listing sites. Without Apify, I'd need to build custom scraping programs or use much more expensive web automation tools.
Best scraping solution I know
What do you like best about the product?
First, Apify offers a number of ready solutions that can be launched in minutes with zero or very little coding skills. I tested several of them and they work well.
Second, it's easy and quick to get custom solutions built if needed. I got a custom solution made in less than a week.
Plus, their support team is just amazing (shoutout to Tsveta!).
I discovered Apify less than a month ago and it's already one of the core tools in my stack.

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really. It took me some time to get the outcomes I was looking for, but it's a new category of tools to me so it's understandable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am scraping several websites to power my lead generation process. Without Apify, I'd have to use VAs, which would be less convenient and more time-consuming.
Apify makes crawler prototyping a breeze.
What do you like best about the product?
The provided documentation is fantastic. The web interface is solid and allows quick prototyping of crawler solutions. The generous free tier makes it possible to test ideas before financially committing to them.
What do you dislike about the product?
For some crawlers, debugging options aren't intuitive at all.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Apify allows me to solve business functions requiring web crawling while abstracting away all the infrastructure management, letting me focus on the data and logic instead.
Very good choices for data extraction from any website.

Forms on any website can be filled in automatically and you can upload files.
You can get contact details of leads and customers, using this information to develop lead generation tactics.
Web services and APIs can be linked to allow data to pass between them.
For more sophisticated workflows, you can include custom calculation and data processing phases.

Apify might enhance its SDK to create unique proxies.
The slight learning curve of Apify could make it difficult to use at first.

IP address rotation & web scrapping features are superb for our business use cases with Apify
What do you like best about the product?
Apify is best when it comes to grouping structured web data through an automated process. It is majorly used for our use cases such as lead generation, market research and price monitoring analysis. Its web crawler & web scraper effectively work together to crawl the web and quickly extract data with the application of XPath, CSS selectors or regex in its data locators. While working with large requirements, Apify shows its extraction efficiency through its workflow automation & neat organization of all datasets which can be downloaded as HTML tables, JSON format, Comma Separated Values, Excel, XML or as RSS feed as per our necessity.
What do you dislike about the product?
Apify requires a few enhancements in its SDK for developing custom proxies. Apart from this, other features such as IP address rate limitations, blacklisting & HTTP request identifier are suitable to cope up with our demands.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We integrate Amazon scraper with Apify for performing our web scraping activities. It seamlessly automates the data aggregation process without any major roadblocks & doesn't require much expertise. We prepare custom scripts for providing a workaround & ensure to scrap the majority of the data listed on Amazon for our clients. Apify efficiently manages all our scraper requests, parses the HTML to carry out the extraction and finally stores the data in the desired format of our choice.
Super flexible data extraction tool
What do you like best about the product?
The library of prebuild actors can save a lot of time in the testing of new automation workflow.
The IP proxies available are quite useful for some data sources like google search.

What do you dislike about the product?
Apify is a product designed for developers. It is quite hard to understand for a marketer.
The pricing structure is a bit completed as you are paying for several items like server run time and proxies.

Apify helps you to get data from anywhere on the internet. The possibilities are quite endless.
There are many pre-build actors available, so I will always check Apify before investing time in developing a new scraper by myself.

Best in Social Media scrapper
What do you like best about the product?
This review is important for all people related to Social media. Found it on product hunt somehow and I am using Apify since starting of 2022 for social media related data collection, scrapping content, User details and more via complete automation. I use zapier, Make.com and n8n for these tasks by integrating apify in it and this saves me a lot of time and money by not compromising anything. It just outperforms my expectations. Highly recommended for scrapping anything you like.
What do you dislike about the product?
The proxy thing in apify is quite consumed more of my credit than data scrapping, also it gives errors sometimes like you are exceeding memory usage, even when using only one scrapping actor with 25 % of memory used in each task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was using manual scrappers like chrome and edge extension while risking personal and sensitive data, Now i realized that with use of apify and its proxy i can scrape my social media needs without sacrificing such details. Instagram and tiktok in social, google maps and linkedin in business data scrapping are the best.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want to automate your data scrapping process you can make a custom order for creating a scapper for your use case.
