What you can automate with Apify
Apify is a web scraping and browser automation platform that lets you extract data from websites, automate browser-based tasks, and run headless browser scripts in the cloud. It provides a library of pre-built scrapers (called Actors) for popular sites like Google Maps, Instagram, Amazon, and LinkedIn, plus the ability to build custom scrapers in JavaScript or Python. Results are delivered via API, webhooks, or direct download in formats like JSON, CSV, and Excel. The problem Apify solves is manual data collection from the web. If your team spends time copying information from websites into spreadsheets, monitoring competitor pricing, gathering business listings, or collecting public reviews, Apify automates that work. It runs scraping tasks on a schedule, handles pagination and anti-bot measures, and delivers clean, structured data ready for analysis or import into your business systems. At Osher, we use Apify as a data source within larger automated workflows built in n8n. A typical setup runs an Apify Actor on a schedule, collects the scraped data via API, transforms it into the right format, and loads it into your CRM, database, or analytics tool automatically. We have built Apify-powered pipelines for competitor price monitoring, lead generation from Google Maps listings, and market research data collection. If you need to extract data from the web at scale, our automated data processing team can design a scraping pipeline that feeds directly into your existing systems. See our BOM weather data pipeline case study for an example of how we build data extraction workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about how Apify consultants can help with integration and implementation
How it works
We work hand-in-hand with you to implement Apify
As Apify consultants we work with you hand in hand build more efficient and effective operations. Here’s how we will work with you to automate your business and integrate Apify with integrate and automate 800+ tools.
Step 1
Process Audit
We review your current data collection methods: which websites your team manually gathers data from, how often that data needs refreshing, what format it needs to be in, and where it gets used in your business. We also assess the target websites for technical complexity and any anti-bot measures in place.
Step 2
Identify Automation Opportunities
Based on the audit, we identify which data collection tasks can be automated with Apify. We prioritise by volume and frequency: data you collect daily or weekly from structured sources like directories, marketplaces, or search results are prime candidates. We also assess whether existing Apify Actors cover your needs or if custom scrapers are required.
Step 3
Design Workflows
We design the scraping pipeline: which Apify Actors to use, what parameters to configure, how to schedule runs, and how the n8n workflow processes and delivers the scraped data. We define data transformation steps (cleaning, deduplication, formatting) and specify the destination systems where the data will be loaded.
Step 4
Implementation
We set up the Apify Actors with your specific configurations, create the scheduled runs, and build the n8n workflow that collects results via the Apify API, transforms the data, and loads it into your destination systems. We configure error handling, retry logic, and alerting for failed scraping runs.
Step 5
Quality Assurance Review
We run test scrapes and verify data quality: checking that all expected fields are captured, data is properly formatted, deduplication works correctly, and the data lands in your destination systems accurately. We also test error handling by simulating common failure scenarios like website structure changes and rate limiting.
Step 6
Support and Maintenance
After launch, we monitor scraping success rates and data quality. When target websites change their structure (which happens regularly), we update the Apify Actor configurations. We also adjust schedules and parameters as your data collection needs evolve, and handle any issues with proxy rotation or anti-bot measures.
