About

Apify is a full-stack web scraping and automation platform helping anyone get value from the web. At its core is Apify Store, a marketplace with over 10,000 Actors where developers build, publish, and monetize automation tools. Actors are serverless cloud programs that extract data, automate web tasks, and run AI agents. Developers build them using JavaScript, Python, or Crawlee, Apify's open-source library. Build once, publish to Store, and earn when others use it. Thousands of developers do this - Apify handles infrastructure, billing, and monthly payouts. Apify Store has ready-made Actors for scraping Amazon, Google Maps, social media, tracking prices, lead-gen, and more. Actors handle proxies, CAPTCHAs, JavaScript rendering, headless browsers, and scaling. Everything runs on Apify's cloud with 99.95% uptime. SOC2, GDPR, and CCPA compliant. Integrate with Zapier, Make, n8n, and LangChain. Apify's MCP server lets AI like Claude dynamically discover and use Actors

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Clean and user-friendly dashboard Multiple proxy types available (residential, mobile, datacenter) Helpful documentation and developer-friendly API IP tagging and management options are well-structured

Cons

  • KYC verification is unnecessarily long (took 2+ days even with correct documents) Couldn’t access my target site even after full approval Support team demanded too many business documents (e.g. company name, registration ID, tax number) Compliance team added further delays with domain-based email verification Refund is not processed to payment method—only as account credit Poor experience for testers or individual users
