Great for Scraping Airbnb Listings and Gathering Useful Info
What do you like best about the product?
using it to scrape airbnb listings for useful info
What do you dislike about the product?
In the beggining it looks a little too "techy" and I wasnt comfortable using the tool. Maybe a quick tutorial or chat to help would be more user-friendly
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Need to know addresses for airbnbs.
Crazy-Easy Scraping, But Limited Modular Agentic Workflows
What do you like best about the product?
The upsides are it makes the scraping easy to a crazy level, it almost makes it as easy as using instagram.
What do you dislike about the product?
It doesnt have much for modular agentic workflows(as far as i know)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves the need to manually get a bunch of workarounds, many workflows, etc into a singular platform, and it helps us implement applications on that data layer
Versatile Web Scraping with Room for Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
I like the most that Apify provides a free tier so I can try out the actors without having to pay upfront. It's really helpful because sometimes the actors are not as useful as I expected, so I can keep looking for the best one without any cost. I also appreciated that Apify's initial setup is really good. The API data access is really efficient, and when I'm trying to authenticate API actors, it's seamless. They provide both call data and JSON data for inputs, which makes the process smooth and efficient.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes when I used to scrape LinkedIn sales snippet exports, the results are limited to a few first items, like maybe the first 100 or 200 items only. They're not able to move forward. Some actors have pagination options, but they don't really work well as expected. I had to move outside of the API sometimes because of this. If the developers could improve the API efficiency, it would be better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Apify solves the problem of web scraping where general models can't. It scrapes LinkedIn, Google My Business, Yelp, and more, automating data collection for clients and my team.
Effective Web Scraping Made Simple with Apify
What do you like best about the product?
I find that Apify has made scraping Google Maps leads for my local manufacturing company so much easier compared to other tools. It's powerful, and I love the specific feature that allows me to connect it with Claude via MCP. This connection lets me type what I want and scrape the leads I need efficiently. The setup was also incredibly easy; I just logged in, paid for it, used my free credit, and went from there without any hassle.
What do you dislike about the product?
none/pricing?
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Apify for scraping Google Maps leads. It makes the process so much easier and more powerful than other tools.
Easy and Effective for Scraping, Although Improvable in Automation
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Apify is easy, simple, and fast to use. I also enjoy the way actors can be set up to scrape websites and search for potential clients. It's very easy to set up a WebScraper, you just have to enter the JSON code of exactly what you want and what it has to search for, and it starts working.
What do you dislike about the product?
Apify could be improved because when many pages are loaded at once, they always get blocked. Being able to search more than 3 or 4 pages without the page getting blocked would be ideal. It would also be useful to automate more the download process and the process of loading URLs for scraping, as currently they have to be entered manually.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Apify provides me with many email addresses of potential clients.
Effortless to Use and Easy to Get Started
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, the multiple actors that’s available to use
What do you dislike about the product?
At the moment there is nothing, maybe the latency at times
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Pulling data on multiple sources and funneling it to a proper database
Streamlined Scraping with Minimal Overhead
What do you like best about the product?
I love that Apify's serverless infrastructure lets me focus on coding instead of managing servers or scaling manually. The Crawlee library is excellent for building reliable scrapers with built-in retries, and the CLI allows me to develop locally and deploy with ease. The MCP server integration works perfectly for connecting my Actors with AI agents. I highly value the n8n community nodes for connecting with a vast network of automation builders. The built-in marketplace and automated billing are crucial for scaling my passive income. Features like the cookie modal blocker save significant compute cycles and provide clean AI-ready data. The initial setup was straightforward, thanks to the Apify CLI and pre-configured templates, making it easy to deploy my first Actor to the cloud. I would rate Apify a 10 out of 10 as it is the ultimate platform for developers looking to scale scrapers into a professional business without the headache of managing infrastructure.
What do you dislike about the product?
While the platform is powerful, the steep learning curve for building and customizing complex Actors can be challenging for developers just starting out. Additionally, the usage-based pricing model can feel a bit complex to estimate, and the costs for compute units and residential proxies can escalate quickly as your projects begin to scale.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Apify to build web scraping Actors, eliminating server management and effortlessly scaling projects. It bypasses bot protections, allowing me to focus on complex scraping logic without overhead.
Apify is a powerful and reliable platform for web scraping, especially YouTube and Instagram Scraper
What do you like best about the product?
I’ve been using Apify mainly for YouTube Scraper and Instagram Scraper, and overall, the experience has been very positive. The platform is easy to use, cloud-based, and offers ready-made scrapers that save a lot of time. The Instagram Scraper works smoothly for pulling posts, hashtags, and comments, while the YouTube Scraper is great for extracting video data without much hassle. I also appreciate that Apify provides scalability, scheduling options, and integration with APIs, which makes automation feel effortless.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few things that could be better. Pricing can get expensive if you’re running large-scale scrapes, and sometimes the scrapers need tweaking when platforms change their structures.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Apify solves the hassle of manually collecting YouTube and Instagram data by automating it efficiently. This saves me time and effort, letting me focus on analysis instead of repetitive scraping work.
Effortless Scripting with Apify's Clean UI
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the simplicity of Apify's user interface, which is very clean and straightforward, making it easy to set up and get started with scraping. It's great because I don't have to spend too much time on technical work; I can just configure it quickly and it's ready to go. The initial setup was also very easy and straightforward with no struggles at all. Plus, the way Apify allows me to configure URLs and pull data seamlessly saves so much manual effort. Overall, I pretty much love everything about it.
What do you dislike about the product?
I mean, definitely, if there was a way to give us some more free credits for sure. That will be appreciated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can easily script and automate data collection from Instagram and other social media platforms with Apify. It saves me time by eliminating manual data collection tasks like screenshotting. The user interface is clean, allowing me to set up and start scraping quickly without extensive technical setup.
Quick Setup, Reliable Performance
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate that Apify was pretty fast when I used it for running Sherlock to search for nicknames on social media. I like that it worked perfectly for me during the one time I used it. I also enjoyed the free trial, as it meant I didn't have to pay for a single use. The initial setup was pretty easy too; just a couple of clicks and it was done.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing much
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Apify was pretty fast for running Sherlock, and I got the names I wanted quickly.
