Apify's mission is to make the web more programmable. Why? Because we believe that humans have better things to do than fill in internet forms or compile Excel sheets of copy-pasted data. Those are jobs for Apify Actors, our serverless cloud programs that scrape data and automate workflows.

We collect billions of rows of data from all over the world for science, market research, finding mission children, and powering AI chatbots. Fortune 500 companies and small startups alike need the right data to make great business decisions and Apify makes sure they get it.
