Aby Apify
Find a scraper in Apify Store
Returns Actors from Apify Store, Apify's marketplace of ready-made scrapers and automations, that match a search query, with each Actor's name, author and description.
Description
Search for the site or data you need, such as `google maps` or `job postings`, then check an Actor's input schema and pricing before you run it: `fetch-actor-details` on the MCP server, `apify actors info <actor> --input` on the CLI. The CLI search needs no sign-in.
