概要

Apify is a cloud platform for collecting and processing web data at scale. Developers can choose from thousands of pre-built scrapers (called Actors) in its marketplace or build custom ones in Python or JavaScript, then run them on managed infrastructure with proxies, scheduling, and storage included. The platform is widely used to feed AI workflows, from gathering training datasets and powering retrieval-augmented generation to enabling autonomous agents that browse the live web. Outputs can be exported as JSON, CSV, or Excel, or pushed directly into databases, vector stores, and LLM pipelines through APIs and integrations with tools like LangChain, LlamaIndex, and n8n. Apify offers a free tier with monthly platform credits, plus paid plans that scale with usage, making it accessible for both individual developers and enterprise teams handling large extraction jobs.

ユースケース

Power RAG pipelines with live web data

Scrape and structure web content, then push it into vector stores via LangChain or LlamaIndex integrations to give LLMs up-to-date, retrieval-augmented context.

Build training datasets at scale

Use marketplace Actors or custom Python/JavaScript scrapers with managed proxies to collect large, structured datasets exportable as JSON, CSV, or Excel for AI model training.

Enable autonomous web-browsing agents

Provide AI agents with live web access through Apify's REST API and SDKs, letting them fetch real-time information from sites during automated workflows.

Automate recurring data collection

Schedule Actors on Apify's cloud runtime to monitor competitor prices, news, or listings, then route results into databases or tools like Zapier and n8n.

Years in this space

I've evaluated a lot of these over the years. What stands out here is marketplace of pre-built scraping Actors — handled better than most — and supports custom Actors in Python and JavaScript. Learning curve for building custom Actors is my one real gripe. Worth the time if this is your use case.

Compared a few options

Evaluated this against two competitors. Where it wins: marketplace of pre-built scraping Actors and large marketplace of ready-made scrapers. On balance the feature set — especially integrations with LangChain, LlamaIndex, and Zapier — justifies the 5 stars for our use case.

Skeptical, then convinced

I went in skeptical — most tools in this space overpromise. It actually delivers on managed proxy rotation and anti-blocking, and handles proxies, scaling, and scheduling automatically caught me off guard. still, I'd recommend giving it a real trial.
