Description

Apify provides the infrastructure developers need to build, deploy, and monetize web automation tools. The platform centers on Apify Store, a marketplace featuring 10,000+ community-built Actors. These are serverless programs that scrape websites, automate browser tasks, and power AI agents. Developers create Actors using JavaScript, Python, or Crawlee (Apify's open-source crawling library), then publish them to the Store. When other users run your Actor, you earn money. Apify manages the infrastructure, handles payments, and processes monthly payouts to thousands of active developers. Apify Store offers ready-to-use solutions for common use cases: extracting data from Amazon, Google Maps, and social platforms; monitoring prices; generating leads; and much more. Under the hood, Actors automatically manage proxy rotation, CAPTCHA solving, JavaScript-heavy pages, and headless browser orchestration. The platform scales on demand with 99.95% uptime and maintains SOC2, GDPR, and CCPA compliance. For workflow automation, Apify connects to Zapier, Make, n8n, and LangChain. The platform also offers an MCP server, enabling AI assistants like Claude to discover and invoke Actors programmatically.

Description

Gobii is a cloud-based service that allows users to deploy fully managed browser automation agents through an API, facilitating the automation of web research, form submissions, data extraction, and complex workflows on a large scale. These agents function like perpetual employees, capable of navigating websites—even those without APIs—managing dynamic content, executing JavaScript, and automatically rotating proxies when necessary. Users have the ability to create these agents, assign them specific prompts or tasks, and obtain structured JSON outputs or real-time previews of the agents' browser activities. Gobii also accommodates both synchronous and asynchronous task execution, offers secret management for sensitive information like login credentials, and ensures output validation through schema enforcement. Furthermore, it integrates with widely used programming languages such as Python and Node.js for easy implementation. The platform places a strong emphasis on scalability, allowing for the execution of hundreds of tasks simultaneously, while also providing enterprise-level security features like audit logs, proxy management, and comprehensive task oversight. As a result, developers benefit from a streamlined experience that makes it easier to integrate complex automation into their workflows.
