Apify

Apify is a web scraping and automation platform that can extract structured data from any website or automate any workflow on the web. For example, imagine you found a website selling shoes and want to get a spreadsheet with all the shoe sizes, colors, prices, etc., but the website doesn't make that information accessible in tabular form. Youcould certainly manually create such a spreadsheet using copy and paste, but that would take a lot of time and cause a lot of frustration. Or you can set up Apify to do this for you in a few seconds. Moreover, Apify can automatically upload the spreadsheet into your CRM every night or send you an email when your favorite shoes are on sale. The possibilities are unlimited. | $3M / Venture - Series Unknown / Apr 15, 2024 | |
