Step 2: Describe the data you need
Paste the website URL, then type what you want in plain English.
For example, ask for product names, prices, and review scores.

El Tienda Apify lets you find ready-made Actors instead of coding from scratch.
Aquí te mostramos cómo usarlo paso a paso.
Paso 1: Explora la tienda
Open apify.com/store or click Store in the console.
Search for the website you want to scrape — Google Maps, for example.
Paso 2: Elige un actor.

Step 3: Try it free
Click Try for free and the Actor gets added to your Apify account.
✅ Resultado: You have a working scraper without writing a line of code.
💡 Consejo profesional: The Store is a good place to check first — with thousands of Actors, someone probably built it.
Cómo usar los actores de Apify
Actores Apify are small cloud programs that perform specific tasks, like scraping one website.
Aquí te mostramos cómo usarlos paso a paso.
Step 1: Create a new task
Pick an Actor and click the Create a new task button.
Step 2: Configure the input options
Set start URLs plus any input values and options the run needs.
The Link selector and Pseudo URLs control which links get added to the queue.
Advanced Actors run a pageFunction — JavaScript that executes on every page visited.
Así es como se ve:
✓ Control: The input form validates with no red warnings.
Step 3: Run and monitor
Click Start and follow progress in the run details.
Apify lets you run Actors in the cloud without keeping your computer on.
✅ Resultado: Your data waits in a dataset, ready to export as JSON, CSV, or Excel.
💡 Consejo profesional: One Actor can power many tasks — create a separate task for each website you scrape.
Cómo usar las integraciones de Apify
Integraciones let you send scraped data straight to the apps you already use.
Aquí te mostramos cómo usarlos paso a paso.
Step 1: Open the Integrations tab
Inside any task, click Integrations.
Step 2: Choose an integration
Pick Google Sheets, Slack, Zapier, Make, or a plain webhook.

Webhooks can ping you when a task starts, finishes, or fails.
✅ Resultado: Fresh data lands in your other tools automatically.

Cómo usar los agentes de IA de Apify
agentes de IA let you feed live web data to LLMs and agent frameworks.
Aquí te mostramos cómo usarlos paso a paso.
Step 1: Get your API token
Open Settings in the Apify Console and copy your personal API token.
Step 2: Connect your framework
Install the Apify client for Python or JavaScript.
Point LangChain, LlamaIndex, or your own agent at the Apify API.
Así es como se ve:
✓ Control: Your agent can call any Actor programmatically.
Step 3: Let the agent pull live data
Have the agent run an Actor, then read results from the dataset.
✅ Resultado: Your LLM answers with fresh web data instead of stale training data.
💡 Consejo profesional: Pair your agent with the RAG Web Browser Actor to give any LLM live search.
How to Use Apify Anti-Blocker
Antibloqueo lets you scrape at scale without captchas killing your runs.
Aquí te mostramos cómo usarlo paso a paso.
Step 1: Turn on browser fingerprinting
Open your Actor input and enable the anti-blocking options.
No matter which website you target, defaults handle most blocks.
Step 2: Tune concurrency and retries
Lower max concurrency so your traffic looks human.
Así es como se ve:
✓ Control: Requests succeed without captcha pages in the log.
Step 3: Test on a small batch
Run 20 pages and watch the success rate before scaling up.
✅ Resultado: Runs finish cleanly instead of dying behind captcha walls.
💡 Consejo profesional: If blocks continue, switch the proxy group before you throw more retries at it.
Cómo usar Apify Proxy
Proxy de Apify lets you route requests through rotating IP addresses.
Aquí te mostramos cómo usarlo paso a paso.
Step 1: Open proxy settings
In your task input, scroll to the Proxy section.
Step 2: Pick a proxy type
Datacenter proxies are cheap and fast.
Residential proxies serve requests through real-user IPs for stubborn sites.
Así es como se ve:
✓ Control: The proxy field shows your selected group.
Step 3: Set country and sessions
Choose a country if the site shows location-based content.
✅ Resultado: Requests rotate through fresh IPs, so you look like many real users.
💡 Consejo profesional: Start with datacenter proxies — upgrade to residential only when sites still block you.
Cómo usar Apify Crawlee
Crawlee lets you build custom crawlers in JavaScript or Python.
Aquí te mostramos cómo usarlo paso a paso.
Paso 1: Instalar el paquete
Run npx crawlee create my-crawler, or pip install crawlee for Python.
Step 2: Write your crawler logic
Define a request handler that extracts data and enqueues new links.
Así es como se ve:
✓ Control: Your crawler runs locally and prints scraped data.
Step 3: Deploy to Apify
Run apify push to turn your crawler into a cloud Actor.
✅ Resultado: A custom crawler you fully control, hosted on the platform.
💡 Consejo profesional: The same Crawlee code runs on your computer and in the cloud, unchanged.
Cómo usar las plantillas de código de Apify
Plantillas de código let you start new Actors from working boilerplate.
Aquí te mostramos cómo usarlos paso a paso.
Step 1: Open the templates page
Click Develop new in the console and pick View templates.
Step 2: Choose a template
Options cover Playwright, Puppeteer, BeautifulSoup, Scrapy, and more.
Así es como se ve:
✓ Control: A ready project opens with sample scraping code inside.
Step 3: Build and deploy
Edit the boilerplate, design your input schema, and run apify push.
✅ Resultado: A published Actor built in minutes, not days.
💡 Consejo profesional: Interested in earning from your code? Share your Actor in the Store — more people are buying raspadores there every month.
Consejos y atajos profesionales de Apify
After testing Apify for eight months, here are my best tips.

Características ocultas que la mayoría de la gente pasa por alto
- Schedules: Open any task and add a schedule — runs repeat automatically and keep datasets up to date.
- Storage tab: Every dataset, key-value store, and request queue lives here with its own API endpoint.
- Actor monetization: Publish your scraper and get paid — the platform serves more than 25k customers, and the web scraping market is expected to grow at 14.20% CAGR through 2030.
Errores comunes de Apify que se deben evitar
Mistake #1: Coding everything from scratch
❌ Incorrecto: Spending days writing a custom scraper before checking what exists.
✅ Derecha: Search the Apify Store first — thousands of Actors already handle common websites.
Mistake #2: Launching huge runs untested
❌ Incorrecto: Pointing an Actor at 50,000 URLs on the very first run.
✅ Derecha: Test with 10 to 20 pages, check the output, then scale up.
Mistake #3: Ignoring usage limits
❌ Incorrecto: Letting one heavy run burn through your monthly platform credits.
✅ Derecha: Watch your usage numbers in the console and cap memory per run.
Solución de problemas de Apify
Problem: Your Actor run fails right away
Causa: Broken input — usually a malformed start URL or invalid JSON.
Arreglar: Open the run log and view the line where it throws an error. Fix that input value and restart.
Problem: The dataset comes back empty
Causa: The page loads content with JavaScript, or your selectors miss the target.
Arreglar: Switch to a browser-based Actor. Then check your Link selector and pageFunction logic.
Problem: The website blocks your requests
Causa: Too many requests from one IP address in a short window.
Arreglar: Enable Apify Proxy, lower concurrency, and add small delays between requests.
