Music Influencer Marketing - Great for Scraping Video Data on Social Media
What do you like best about the product?
It's quick & easy for us to collect our data for campaigns & share it with others.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's abit hard to understand at first for those who aren't familiar with tech & data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's making our data collection & campaign measuring process much easier & quicker.
Likely the best out there
What do you like best about the product?
It was the first solution i Found that I could start using almost right out of the box, without an insurmountable learning curve like other scraping solutions that I looked at. The premade actors really made it easy to get my feet wet and start extracting data. Later I moved on to schedules and integrations which just made my life entirely more easy. Now I just get new results and they're put in a database, autopilot for my needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Premade actors are great, but frankly, the rent+usage model that some of the actors have is just not ideal. I would like to test these out more thoroughly beyond a 3 day free trial. I would suggest that you consider a purely pay for usage model with slightly higher cost, but doping away with this rent + usage.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Apify is what enables my startup project to start being developed. My entire service is focused on being able to scrape from 3-4 sites and processing it to make it valuable for customers. So it solves my "raw materials" good. It's not that I couldn't do it with other services but simply Apify is the easier one and more straightforward to use; so another problem it solves is a learning curve that would make my project co much slower.
Great tooling and with their generous monthly free credits!
What do you like best about the product?
You get a chance to fully try the product! it's esy to use when you know what to do, and there is a great community around willing to help you
What do you dislike about the product?
Maybe some more guiding at the beginning if you are not technical it could be a bit difficult to find how to intergrate this via API.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Capturing data from websites of like 50 sites a day, would take me a crazy amount of time.
Great platform for developers and customers
What do you like best about the product?
Apify did a great job at building a user-friendly platform for web scraping and automation, allowing non-tech users to scrape and integrate multiple services. Developers can built their own solutions and easily publish on Apify store, which has over 1000 actors already. The support is pretty good for both users and developers.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some limitations, like not being possible to upload a file directly on the actor input or being able to retry failed requests from a actor run, it would be great to have a 'Retry failed requests' button. It would be great if the actor could produce a file as the output, instead of a dataset.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automating tasks that would take hours
Integral Part of my Outbound Operation

Some leads are expensive in cost and I have to get this
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is making my life easier to get the data as per my need
VERY HELPFUL

The great variety of APIs, the low cost and the possibility to integrate the APIs with thirdh part services.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing comes to mind. Maybe the documentation could get better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Continue with my activities when my requests to some APIs reach its limits, as well as allow non-tech users to make requets.
The Developer's Swiss Army Knife
What do you like best about the product?
What I absolutely love about Apify is the community and ecosystem around it. The Apify Store is a treasure trove of pre-built Actors that can save you a ton of time. It's like having a team of experts contributing to your project.
What do you dislike about the product?
One could argue that the learning curve is a bit steep, but that's because Apify offers a rich set of features designed to tackle complex problems. The investment in learning pays off as you become proficient in automating even the most intricate tasks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Apify for automating tests, scraping e-commerce websites, and monitoring web pages for changes. It's incredibly flexible, making it a one-stop-shop for many of my development needs.
Probably the most versatile web scraping platform
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Apify is its versatility. Whether you're working with Python or JavaScript, the platform accommodates your needs. It's like having a toolbox that's always equipped with the right tool for the job.
What do you dislike about the product?
Initially, the range of options can feel overwhelming, but that's actually a strength. Once you get the hang of it, you realize that the platform's comprehensive features allow you to tailor solutions to specific problems, making your life easier in the long run.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Apify solves the problem of time-consuming manual data collection and task automation. By using Apify, I can set up a workflow once and let it run, saving me countless hours. This allows me to focus on more creative aspects of development, enhancing both my productivity and job satisfaction.
Multiple solutions for you to choose from
What do you like best about the product?
There are many solutions that allow you to have access to the information you need, with broad coverage and multiple possibilities.
What do you dislike about the product?
It seems to me that it has a lot of potential for use, however, there are certain very technical terms in the description of the actors and in the description of the payment packages that, for someone who is not a technology developer, is very difficult to understand.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With the new rise of social networks and online pages to monitor, the need to capture information and automate processes increases.
