Apify Store has ready-made Actors for scraping Amazon, Google Maps, social media, tracking prices, lead-gen, and more.

		Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Before the downgrade, the dedicated ISP proxies worked for my Telegram accounts. That is the only positive part of this experience. 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 Support gave wrong information about which IPs would remain, the port-to-IP mapping broke, a refund was refused, and live chat was blocked. 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
