Apify Store Scraper

What does Apify Scraper do? This Apify Scraper allows you to scrape the list of Actors/APIs from Apify, including each category and supports scraping without category selection. It scrapes all categories first, then scrapes the data. The data is provided in structured formats such as Excel, XML, HTML, JSON, and CSV, which you can use in your own reports, spreadsheets, and applications. Apify Scraper allows you to scrape: - Results from a Apify category. - Numbers of total builds, runs, stars and users. - Detailed information about each API, including title, description, categories, and pricing model. ## Why use Apify Scraper? Because Apify does not provide a comprehensive API list. With Apify Scraper, you can build your own products and applications on top of the Apify platform. ## How to use scraped Apify data - Building new applications that use the API list. - Example: https://yourapiservice.com, etc. - Creating a comprehensive API directory for developers. ## Input parameters If this actor is run on the Apify platform, our simple interface will help you configure all the necessary and optional parameters of this scraper before running it. This scraper recognizes the following input parameters: - categoryNames - Scrapes Apify for specified categories. You can duplicate this parameter to scrape several categories simultaneously. - maxItemsPerCategory - Sets the maximum limit for the amount of scraped results per category/collection. - sortBy - Sorts the search query results by the specified parameter. - pricingModel - Filters the search query results by the specified pricing model. - managedBy - Filters the search query results by the specified maintainer (Apify or Community). Example: json { "categoryNames": [ "marketing", "ai", "jobs" ], "maxItemsPerCategory": 1000, "sortBy": "ByRelevance", "pricingModel": "all", "managedBy": "all" } ## Output The output from Apify Scraper is stored in a dataset. Each item contains information about an API. Here's an example of some of the output you would get if you used the input parameters above to scrape the categories "Finance": json { "source": "Apify", "title": "🔥 LinkedIn Jobs Scraper", "name": "linkedin-jobs-scraper", "username": "bebity", "description": "ℹ️ Designed for both personal and professional use, simply enter your desired job title and location to receive a tailored list of job opportunities.

The price per scrape is calculated based on the number of scraped successfully. ## Integrations and Apify Scraper Last but not least, Apify Scraper can be connected with almost any cloud service or web app thanks to integrations on the Apify platform. You can integrate with Make, Zapier, Slack, Airbyte, GitHub, Google Sheets, Google Drive, and more. Or you can use webhooks to carry out an action whenever an event occurs, e.g., get a notification whenever Instagram API Scraper successfully finishes a run. ## Using Apify Scraper with the Apify API The Apify API gives you programmatic access to the Apify platform. The API is organized around RESTful HTTP endpoints that enable you to manage, schedule, and run Apify actors. The API also lets you access any datasets, monitor actor performance, fetch results, create and update versions, and more. To access the API using Node.js, use the apify-client NPM package. To access the API using Python, use the apify-client PyPI package. Check out the Apify API reference docs for full details or click on the API tab for code examples. ## Personal data You should be aware that your results might contain personal data.
