Join the Apify Discord community and head to the #apify-writers channel. Check the quarterly theme, read the guide, and fill out the form with your article. Got questions? The Apify team on Discord will help.
The program focuses on practical, expert-to-expert content: deep dives into Crawlee, advanced web scraping tutorials in Python or JavaScript/TypeScript, browser automation with Playwright or Puppeteer, and creative uses of AI and machine learning for web data collection. Each round focuses on a specific theme. Check the current Call for Papers on the program page for active topics.
$500 is issued once your article has been reviewed and is ready for publication, via the payment procedure discussed during onboarding.
No. Only original, previously unpublished content is accepted. The program exists to produce useful new articles, not republish existing ones.
Not at all. The best technical content comes from developers who actually solve the problems. As long as you have a clear, high-quality technical solution or workflow to share, the writing guide and review process will help you get your draft to a publishable standard.
Each round has a pre-defined list of topics published on the program page when the Call for Papers opens. Only submissions for topics on that list are accepted. If your idea doesn't match the current Call for Papers, you're welcome to publish it on your own blog, and the Apify team is happy to help promote it.
