AI Tools Launch Radar

A fresh feed of the AI tools that are trending right now, with the maker's email attached.

Every day new AI tools launch and climb the charts. This Actor turns that stream into clean, structured data you can actually use: a ranked list, full tool details, and, when you want it, the maker's contact email and social links for outreach.

Source #1 is TheresAnAIForThat (TAAFT), which sits behind a Cloudflare managed challenge. A normal HTTP scraper just gets a 403 Just a moment page. This Actor runs a real Chromium browser with residential proxies and browser fingerprinting, so it returns the actual data instead of a challenge screen.

What you get

Three tiers, one Actor.

1. list mode — the ranking, fast and cheap

rank, name, slug, toolUrl, task, website, period.

2. detail mode — the full record

Everything in list, plus description, primaryCategory, categoryPath, tags, image, rating, reviews, launchDate.

3. enrichContacts — the lead layer

For each tool, visits the maker's website and adds emails and socialLinks. This is the outreach-ready data.

Input

Option	Type	Default	Notes
period	day | week | month	month	Which trending window to pull.
mode	list | detail	list	detail returns the full record.
enrichContacts	boolean	false	Add the maker's email + socials. Forces detail.
maxItems	integer	50	The trending page yields about 50 tools per period.
categoryUrls	array of URLs	[]	Advanced: scrape any TAAFT task/category list page instead of trending.
proxyConfiguration	proxy object	RESIDENTIAL	Keep residential. Datacenter IPs usually fail the Cloudflare challenge.

Example input

  "period": "week",
  "mode": "detail",
  "enrichContacts": true,
  "maxItems": 50,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] }

Pricing

Pay only for what you pull (pay-per-event).

Event	Price	When
tool	$0.003 each	Per tool returned (list or detail).
contact	$0.01 each	Per maker email found (only with enrichContacts).
Minimum per run	$1.00	Covers a small run.

Example: a detail run of 300 tools with contacts, where 200 makers expose an email, costs about 300 × $0.003 + 200 × $0.01 = $2.90.

Tips

• Run it on a schedule to keep a live feed of what is trending, with fresh maker leads.
• Start in list mode to scan, then re-run the winners in detail + enrichContacts.
• Use categoryUrls to track one niche instead of the global trending list.
• Export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or Google Sheets from the run page, or pull via the Apify API.

Notes and limits

• Only public data is collected. No login, no private data.
• Email discovery depends on the maker publishing a contact address; large companies often hide it, so the contact hit rate varies by niche.
• The trending list is roughly the top 50 per period; use categoryUrls to go wider.
• If a run returns nothing, a Cloudflare session was blocked. Keep residential proxies on; the Actor already retries with fresh sessions.
