FAQ
What information do you need from me to start?
Please send me the URL(s) of the website(s) you want to scrape, a list of the specific data fields you need (with an example if possible), and describe any special requirements (e.g., login, schedule).
Why should I use Apify over a tool like Octoparse?
Octoparse is great for point-and-click tasks, but Apify is a developer platform for building powerful, custom scrapers. It offers far more flexibility, scalability, and integration possibilities. If you need a simple one-time scrape, Octoparse might be perfect. If you need a reliable, automated, lar
Do you provide the Apify subscription?
No, I build the Actor (the software) for you. You will need your own Apify account to run it. Apify has a free plan that includes 5 platform units per month, which is enough to test your Actor. For regular, automated runs, you will likely need a paid subscription, which you pay directly to Apify. I
How do I run my new Apify Actor?
I will provide you with a simple, step-by-step guide and a video walkthrough. Running an Actor is as easy as clicking a "Start" button in your Apify console or setting an automated schedule (e.g., "run every day at 9 AM").
Can you scrape websites that require a login?
Yes, absolutely. I can configure your Actor to log in to websites that require an account. Please note you will need to provide the login credentials.
How do you handle websites with anti-bot measures?
I use a combination of powerful techniques, including rotating proxy servers, browser fingerprint randomization, and human-like request delays to minimize the risk of being blocked.
Can you integrate my scraped data with Google Sheets or an API?
Yes. Apify has built-in integrations for Google Sheets, Google Drive, Amazon S3, and more. I can also build custom logic to send the data to any API endpoint you specify.
Do you offer support after the Actor is delivered?
Yes, I offer 30 days of post-delivery support to fix any bugs and ensure the Actor functions as intended. For ongoing maintenance or future changes, we can discuss a maintenance agreement.
