Futurepedia Scraper — AI Tools, Ratings, Pricing & Leads

Extract the Futurepedia AI tools directory as clean, structured data — the fields other scrapers leave empty: star rating, review count, pricing model + the full pricing tiers, categories, logo, and each tool's own website & social links. Optionally turn every tool into a ready-to-contact B2B lead by crawling its website for emails, phones, and socials. Or run monitor mode to get only the newly launched AI tools since your last run.

No login, no API key, no browser — fast HTTP extraction of the world's largest curated AI‑tools directory.

Why this Futurepedia scraper?

Most "AI tools" scrapers just grab a name and a link. This actor ships the richest dataset in the category — the data buyers actually use to build directories, newsletters, market maps, and outreach lists:

Use cases

• AI market intelligence — map the AI landscape by category, pricing, and rating; track how fast new tools launch and how they price.
• Lead generation — every AI tool is a company. Filter by category and rating, then reach the makers directly with website, socialLinks, and (opt-in) contactEmails / contactPhones. Prioritize with leadScore.
• Build & enrich directories — power your own AI‑tools directory, newsletter, or comparison site with structured, deduplicated records.
• Trend & launch monitoring — schedule a daily run in monitor mode to get a clean feed of just the new AI tools (perfect for "new AI tools this week" newsletters and alerts).
• Competitive research — see which tools rank in a category, their pricing tiers, and their ratings at a glance.

How to use

1. Sign up for Apify — the free plan is enough to try this actor.
2. Open the Futurepedia Scraper, enter search keywords or categories (or leave empty to grab the newest tools), and click Start.
3. Watch results stream into the dataset table.
4. Export as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS — or pull results programmatically via the Apify API.

Input

{
    "searchQueries": ["video", "voice"],
    "categories": ["image-generators", "productivity"],
    "maxResults": 200,
    "includeToolDetails": true,

• categories — Futurepedia category slugs (image-generators, text-generators, video, audio-generators, productivity, chatbots, ai-agents, marketing, design, coding, business, research-assistant, social-media, …).
• startUrls — direct tool pages (/tool/<slug>) or category pages (/ai-tools/<category>).
• scrapeAllTools — sweep the entire directory (newest first), capped by maxResults.
• includeToolDetails (default true) — full rich record per tool. Turn off for a fast, cheap list of names + URLs.
• enrichLeads (default false) — crawl each tool's website (home + a contact/about page) for emails, phones, and extra socials.
• minRating / pricingModels / hasWebsiteOnly — filters.
• monitorMode (default false) — output only newly added or changed tools (state kept in a key-value store).
• maxResults (default 100) — cap across all inputs; 0 = no limit.

Automate & schedule

Run this actor on autopilot and pull results into your own stack:

• Apify API — start runs, fetch datasets, and manage schedules over REST.
• apify-client for JavaScript and apify-client for Python — official SDKs.
• Schedules — run it daily/weekly and pair it with monitor mode to capture only newly launched AI tools; perfect for newsletters and lead pipelines.
• Webhooks — trigger downstream actions (CRM import, Slack alert, email sequence) the moment a run finishes.

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'MY_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('scrapesage/futurepedia-scraper').call({
    categories: ['image-generators'],
    maxResults: 200,
    enrichLeads: true,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(`Got ${items.length} AI tools & leads`);

Integrate with any app

Connect the dataset to 5,000+ apps — no code required:

• Make — multi-step automation scenarios.
• Zapier — push new AI‑tool leads straight into your CRM.
• Slack — get pinged when a monitored category gets a new tool.
• Google Drive / Sheets — auto-export every run to a spreadsheet.
• Airbyte — pipe results into your data warehouse.
• GitHub — trigger runs from commits or releases.

Use with AI assistants (MCP)

The output is clean, LLM-ready JSON. You can call this actor from Claude, ChatGPT, or any agent framework through the Apify MCP server — ask your assistant to "find the newest AI video tools with a rating above 4 and list their websites" and let it run this scraper for you.

Agent-ready: autonomous payments (x402 & Skyfire)

This actor is agent-ready — AI agents can discover it, run it, and pay for it autonomously, with no Apify account and no human in the loop. It uses pay-per-event pricing and limited permissions, so it qualifies for Apify's agentic-payment standards:

• x402 — an open, HTTP-native payment protocol. Agents pay per run in USDC on the Base network directly through the Apify MCP server — no account, no API key.
• Skyfire — agent-to-service payments for fully autonomous AI-agent workflows.

Building an AI agent, MCP tool, or autonomous data pipeline? This scraper is ready to plug in and pay as it goes.

Tips

• Newest tools first: leave the input empty (or use scrapeAllTools) — the directory is swept newest‑first, so the first records are the latest launches.
• Recurring monitoring: combine Schedules with monitorMode to get only newly added AI tools each day.
• Emails: turn on enrichLeads. Futurepedia never publishes emails — the actor visits the tool's own website (the same page a human would) to find publicly listed contacts.
• Cost control: keep includeToolDetails on for rich data, or turn it off for a cheap URL list; enrichLeads only runs for tools that actually have a website.

FAQ

How many AI tools can it scrape? The whole live Futurepedia directory (well over a thousand tools) plus anything new that appears — set maxResults: 0 to get everything, or cap it for a quick sample.

Where do the emails come from? Never from Futurepedia (it doesn't publish them). With enrichLeads on, the actor visits each tool's own public website and extracts publicly listed contact emails and phones — the same data a human visitor sees.

Can I get only new tools? Yes — turn on monitorMode. The actor remembers tools from previous runs and outputs only newly added or changed ones. Pair it with a daily Schedule.

Can I export to Google Sheets, CSV, or Excel? Yes — one click in the dataset view, or automatically on every run via the Google Drive integration.

A field is null — why? Some tools genuinely don't publish a review count, a dollar price (free/contact‑for‑pricing), social links, or an external website. Fields are null only when the data doesn't exist on the page, never because the scraper skipped them.

Is scraping Futurepedia legal? This actor collects publicly available data only. You are responsible for using the data in compliance with applicable laws (GDPR/CCPA for personal data) and Futurepedia's terms.
