The web data layer for machine learning
Web data is the fuel of AI, machine learning, and LLMs. Get the data you need for your ML projects.
Infinite web data to train your machine learning models
The more capable your AI, the more variety it needs in the data feeding it. Pulling that variety from across the web takes more than a one-off tool. Apify’s marketplace gives you 30,000+ ready-made Actors built for exactly this, plus the infrastructure to run them reliably so the data keeps flowing as fast as your models can learn.
Connect agents with Apify tools through MCP
Apify's MCP Server lets agents find, run, and fetch data from the right tool automatically. Agents can operate independently - fetching live data, reacting to real-world changes, and completing tasks without manual prompts.
Product mapping with AI
Once you have your data, AI Product Matcher pairs products across your dataset so you can compare prices with competitors.
Keep everything inside Apify - integrate workflows, schedule tasks, and run the next step from the same place.

Web scraping is the automated process of extracting data from websites using software. Machine learning uses this data to train models for various applications such as sentiment analysis, recommender systems, and fraud detection.
It’s important to monitor and check for errors in your data and to make sure that the data is representative of the population it’s meant to represent. Sampling techniques and data cleaning methods can help improve data quality.
In supervised learning, scraped data can be labeled for training classification or regression models. In unsupervised learning, it can be used for clustering or association analysis to uncover patterns and relationships in the data.
It is legal to scrape publicly available data such as product descriptions, prices, or ratings. On the other hand, certain types of data, such as personal data or copyrighted content, are under special legal protection and you should not scrape these without first making sure you follow the relevant laws and regulations. Read through our blog post on the web scraping legality to learn more about the law and extracting data from the web. Web scraping for market research is specfically permitted in the European Union by the DSM directive.
Knock yourself out! Our platform was built to host and run thousands of scrapers. You can customize a universal Web Scraper or start a new one with some of our ready-made templates in Python, JavaScript, or TypeScript. You can keep the scraper to yourself or make it public by adding it to Apify Store (and even make a little cash out of it). You can also integrate your scraper with other popular data processing services such as Keboola, Airbyte, or Zapier.
Yes, there is. You can have programmatic access to any scraper on the platform via Apify's web scraping API. It is organized around RESTful HTTP endpoints and can be accessed either by using Python or Node.js clients, or manually. This API will enable you to fetch results directly from any of your datasets. Check out the Apify API reference docs for full details.
Sure! We can build you a custom web scraper or, if you're searching for a more affordable solution, get an external developer to create the scraper for you via our Apify freelancer program.
