There's An AI For That Scraper — AI Tools, Launches & Maker Leads

Extract the complete AI-tool catalog from There's An AI For That (TAAFT) — the web's largest AI-tools directory. Scrape tools and custom GPTs by task/category or pull the newest launches (today / this week / this month), with the fields other scrapers skip: real star ratings, view & save counts, pricing model + starting price, launch recency, verification status, the maker's own website, and the top community comment. Optionally turn every tool into a ready-to-contact maker lead by crawling its website for emails, phones, and socials.

No login, no cookies — a fast, resilient HTTP scraper that rotates proxies to stay reliable behind Cloudflare.

Why this There's An AI For That scraper?

Most "AI tools" scrapers grab a name and a link. This actor ships the richest dataset in the category — the full listing card plus optional deep enrichment — and it's built to be reliable, not a one-run demo.

Use cases

• AI-maker lead generation — every tool is a company. Score them by traction (views, saves, rating) and reach the founder directly with enrichWebsiteContacts (emails, phones, websiteSocials). Ideal for agencies, dev shops, API vendors, and infra/DevTools selling to AI startups.
• Market & trend intelligence — track which AI tasks are heating up, what tools charge (priceModel, startingPriceUsd), and which launches gain traction, by category.
• Newsletter & directory building — feed an AI-tools newsletter, directory, or app with fresh, structured launches for any task.
• Daily new-launch monitoring — run period: "today" on a Schedule with Monitor mode for a clean feed of only newly launched AI tools.
• Competitive & alternatives research — pull a category and its alternatives to map a competitor's landscape.

How to use

1. Sign up for Apify — the free plan is enough to try this actor.
2. Open the There's An AI For That Scraper, add one or more tasks (e.g. copywriting, video editing) or pick a new-launch window, and click Start.
3. Watch results stream into the dataset table.

Input

{
    "tasks": ["copywriting", "customer support"],
    "period": "this-month",
    "includeToolDetails": false,
    "enrichWebsiteContacts": true,
    "pricingModel": "freemium",
    "maxResults": 100,
    "monitorMode": false
}

• tasks — task/category names or slugs (copywriting, logo-design, seo, coding). Each maps to a TAAFT task page whose tools are collected. Names are auto-slugified.
• period — scrape new launches for a window: today, yesterday, this-week, this-month, last-month, this-year.
• searchQueries — free-text topics matched to the closest task/category page.
• startUrls — any TAAFT URL (task pages, /period/… pages, or individual /ai/… / /gpt/… tool pages) — auto-detected.
• toolUrls — specific tools (URLs or slugs) to fetch as detailed records.
• includeToolDetails (default false) — visit each tool's own page for description, use-cases, alternatives, aggregate rating & review count, and social links (one extra request per tool).
• enrichWebsiteContacts (default false) — crawl each tool's website for contact emails, phones, and socials → maker/founder leads.
• pricingModel / minRating / verifiedOnly / releasedWithinDays / excludeGpts / keyword / country — client-side filters.
• maxResults (default 100; 0 = no limit, explicit opt-in).
• monitorMode (default false) — output only tools that are new or changed since the last run (key-value store state). Pairs with Schedules.

Output

One record per tool or custom GPT (type: "tool"):

{
    "type": "tool",
    "kind": "ai",
    "id": "144782",
    "name": "Notis",
    "slug": "notis-ai",
    "taaftUrl": "https://theresanaiforthat.com/ai/notis-ai/",
    "website": "https://notis.ai/",
    "tagline": "Your AI Intern One Message Away From All Your Tool Stack.",
    "primaryTask": "Personal assistant",
    "primaryTaskSlug": "personal-assistant",
    "verified": true,
    "version": "3.0.4",
    "rating": 4.1,
    "views": 1243423,
    "saves": 826,
    "hasVideo": true,
    "country": "Switzerland",
    "countryCode": "CH",
    "releasedText": "14d ago",
    "releasedDaysAgo": 14,
    "pricingRaw": "Free + from $13/mo",
    "priceModel": "freemium",
    "hasFreeTier": true,
    "startingPriceUsd": 13,
    "priceUnit": "monthly",
    "topComment": { "user": "Béatrice Duval", "karma": 277, "text": "Very interesting", "upvotes": 136, "downvotes": 69, "date": "Jan 19, 2025" },
    "emails": ["hello@notis.ai"],
    "websiteSocials": { "twitter": "https://twitter.com/notis_ai" },
    "leadScore": 82,
    "scrapedAt": "2026-07-02T04:00:00.000Z"
}

Fields like rating, country, startingPriceUsd, and version are populated when TAAFT exposes them (only tools with reviews show a rating, only paid tools show a price, etc.) — they are null when the source doesn't publish them, never because the scraper skipped them. description, useCases, alternatives, and socialLinks populate with Fetch full tool details; emails/phones populate with Enrich maker contacts.

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 period: "today" daily with Monitor mode for a fresh new-AI-tools feed.
• Webhooks — trigger downstream actions (CRM import, Slack alert, newsletter draft) the moment a run finishes.

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

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

const run = await client.actor('scrapesage/theresanaiforthat-scraper').call({
    period: 'this-week',
    enrichWebsiteContacts: true,
    maxResults: 100,
});

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

Integrate with any app

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

• Make — multi-step automation scenarios.
• Zapier — push new maker leads straight into your CRM.
• Slack — get notified when a monitored task finds new tools.
• 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 copywriting tools this week and list their makers' contact emails" 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.

Tips

• Breadth vs depth: TAAFT shows a task's top tools per page. To cover a topic broadly, list several related tasks (e.g. copywriting, marketing-content, landing-pages). To go deep on a few tools, use includeToolDetails.
• Daily launches: period: "today" + monitorMode + a daily Schedule gives you only the new tools each day.
• Proxies: keep the default US Residential group — TAAFT is behind Cloudflare, and residential lets the actor rotate to a fresh IP and retry whenever a request is challenged.
• Cost control: leave enrichment off for large sweeps; turn on enrichWebsiteContacts only when you want maker emails.

FAQ

How do I scrape AI tools for a specific task? Put the task name or slug in tasks (e.g. video-editing, customer-support). Combine several related tasks for broad coverage.

Can I get only the newest AI tools? Yes — set period to today, this-week, or this-month. Add monitorMode on a Schedule to receive only tools you haven't seen before.

Where do the emails come from? Never from TAAFT. With enrichWebsiteContacts on, the actor visits each tool's own public website and extracts publicly listed contact emails/phones — the same data a human visitor would see.

Does it handle custom GPTs too? Yes. Custom ChatGPT GPTs are included (kind: "gpt") with their ChatGPT run link in externalUrl. Set excludeGpts: true to keep only standalone tools.

A field is null — why? Some tools genuinely don't publish a rating (too few reviews), a price (free-only), a country, or a version (unclaimed listing). Fields are null only when the data doesn't exist on the source.

Is the run reliable behind Cloudflare? Yes — the scraper detects Cloudflare's challenge and rotates to a fresh residential IP, retrying until it gets real content. A fully blocked page is skipped gracefully (the run still succeeds), never crashing the run.

Is scraping There's An AI For That 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 the site's terms.
