Apify is a data automation platform for turning websites into usable, structured information. It powers scheduled scraping and reusable “actors” that run reliably at scale, then delivers results into datasets and key-value stores for immediate reuse. Teams use Apify to capture clean data from virtually any source—whether for research, lead generation, monitoring, or building data pipelines—backed by a mature ecosystem of tooling and integrations.

Connecting Apify enables BOBs to reliably collect structured web data and feed it into business operations. Instead of manual browsing and copy-pasting, BOBs can scrape a specific URL for targeted information, run a complete scraping workflow via an actor, and store results as key-value records or in datasets for downstream actions across your connected tools.

With instant run events, BOBs can also respond the moment new scraping completes—e.g., enrich leads, refresh product or pricing data, monitor competitor pages, validate listings, or compile research summaries from newly collected information. This unlocks end-to-end “data-to-decision” use cases where web data becomes immediately actionable for CRM updates, reporting, and other operational processes.

BOBs can: set key-value store records; scrape a single URL; run tasks synchronously; run tasks; run actors; get dataset items; get key-value store records.
