Lovable turns a prompt into a working app in minutes. The app still needs something real inside it, and that is where most projects stall. Apify's connector lets Lovable run any of 72,000+ Actors, ready-to-run tools that collect structured data, and build the result straight into the app.

What you can do

  • Run Actors. Scrape sites and automate browser workflows from the project chat while you build, and from the published app.
  • Track a run until it finishes. Long runs take minutes, so ask Lovable to start the run, poll the status slowly, then read the dataset. Short jobs can run and return their items in one call.
  • Read results from datasets and key-value stores. Page through dataset items and render them in the app.
  • List recent runs and their datasets. Show run status and duration, and link each finished run to its output.

Use cases

Price tracking. Pull prices from a set of product pages with E-commerce Scraping Tool  on a daily schedule, chart the history, and alert when something drops below a threshold.

Lead list building. Turn directory pages into structured contacts with Google Maps Scraper  or LinkedIn Profile Scraper , and store the rows for follow-up.

Social monitoring. Watch a set of accounts with Instagram Profile Scraper  and TikTok Scraper , and render new posts with engagement counts as a live feed.

Research assistant. Crawl a set of sites with Website Content Crawler  or pull results with Google Search Results Scraper , then summarize the scraped pages in the app.

How it works

  1. Get an API token. In Apify Console, open Settings, then API & integrations, and copy the token.
  2. Add the connection. In Lovable, open Connectors, pick Apify, click Add connection, name it, paste the token, and click Connect.
  3. Link the project and describe the feature. Ask Lovable in the project chat to link the project to the connection, then say which Actor to run and what the app should show.

Runs made through the connector bill against the Apify plan, and the cost per run stays visible in Apify Console.

Why Lovable and Apify

  • Tens of thousands of ready-to-run Actors - covering sites that block general-purpose crawlers
  • Anti-blocking handled - proxies and browser fingerprinting sit on Apify's side
  • One API token - no MCP server to host or configure
  • Costs stay visible - per-run pricing in Apify Console, billed on the existing plan
  • Scheduled runs - the app reads the latest dataset instead of going stale
