"No-Code Scraping Made Easy with Apify’s Ready-Made Actors"

5/5

What do you like best about Apify?

Apify lets me run ready-made scrapers (Actors) without writing code. I connected it to Claude, so I describe what data I need in plain language and Claude runs the Actor and returns the results. Setup took minutes, and I did not need to learn a programming language or the platform’s console. Results come back as structured datasets that I can export to CSV for analysis. Pay-per-result pricing also makes costs easy to estimate before a run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apify?

The free plan caps results at 10 items per run, so I could not collect a full dataset until I upgraded. The message after each run also pushes a paid plan, which is easy to miss. Actor quality varies: the Twitter/X scrapers differ a lot in price, reliability, and input options, and it takes time to compare them. Pricing per result is clear, but total cost is hard to predict before a large run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apify solving and how is that benefiting you?

Apify solves the problem of getting social media data out of platforms that make it hard to access. My dissertation needs tweets containing a specific phrase, plus the full replies in each thread. NodeXL’s X import returned empty results and truncated conversation IDs, and the X API limits search to 7 days on basic access. Apify’s Actors search and return structured tweet data with full conversation IDs, so I can rebuild the threads without manual copying. Because I can request this through Claude in plain language, I spend less time on technical setup and more time on analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
