Universal Web Scraper

AI-driven data extraction from 55+ Actors across all major platforms. This skill automatically selects the best Actor for your task.

When to Use

• You need a general-purpose Apify entry point that maps a broad scraping goal to the most suitable Actor.
• The task spans multiple platforms and benefits from one unified workflow for actor selection, execution, and summarization.

Prerequisites

(No need to check it upfront)

• .env file with APIFY_TOKEN
• Node.js 20.6+ (for native --env-file support)
