Apify handles all the TikTok data for my startup. Its ready-made scrapers plug straight into our backend through a clean API and return structured data, so we never had to build or maintain scrapers ourselves. It has been one of the most dependable parts of our stack, and the pay-as-you-go Starter plan is a great fit for a solo founder who only wants to pay for what he uses.

The ready-made scrapers (Actors) in the Store are really convenient. I can pick one, set it up in minutes, and pull public Instagram data straight into my own tools without writing any code. It saves me hours of manual searching every week, and I also like that it connects with Claude through the MCP server.

Quick and easy to set up, with a diverse range of tools. Integrated quickly and easily with my Codex setup. Allowed my to 10x what i could do with codex. No issues getting started. Does exactly what you want, works well.
