Why I Built These

Existing tools either:

  • Charge $50-500/month for basic scraping
  • Require complex API key setup and OAuth flows
  • Have strict rate limits that make bulk scraping impractical

Every Actor in this collection:

  • Free to try on Apify's free tier
  • No API keys -- just input your target and click Start
  • Clean output -- JSON, CSV, or Excel
  • Scheduled runs -- automate with Apify's built-in scheduler
  • Webhook integrations -- pipe data to Google Sheets, Slack, or your database
