Hi @Saurav Jain ,
Iām thrilled to have the chance to introduce myself as a Python developer whoās been passionate about building impactful and creative actors on Apify. Having spent years in both the corporate tech world and as an independent developer, I can confidently say that working on Apify actors brings a different level of excitement and fulfillment.
Why feature me?
Diverse Experience: Iāve built a variety of actors, from advanced web scrapers that extract complex data sets to automation tools tailored for specific business needs.
Engaged in the Community: Iām not just here for the projects; Iām here for the community. I enjoy jumping into discussions, sharing tips, and helping other developers troubleshoot and enhance their actors.
Bringing Real-World Value: My actors arenāt just for practiceāthey solve real problems, save businesses time, and help bridge gaps in data access. This feature would be a nod to the real, tangible impact that thoughtful, well-designed actors can make.
It would be an incredible opportunity to showcase the potential of blending corporate-level expertise with community-driven, collaborative development. It would motivate me to push even further, contribute more, and continue mentoring other developers who want to elevate their skills on Apify.
A bit about me and the community:
Iām active in the Apify community, from engaging in forums and helping others with their questions to sharing knowledge on building effective actors and believe that the best tools are built when we share our experiences and insights.
Iād be honored to be featured and continue inspiring others in the community. Thanks for considering me!

Hey there! š
I started building Apify actors 2 months ago and already have 5 solid ones running. My https://apify.com/igolaizola/idealista-scraper is doing particularly well - it pulls way more real estate data than you'd normally see on the website.
I've built all my actors in Golang, and they're super efficient - running smoothly on minimal memory settings. I've got a solid foundation of code that helps me build new actors quickly, plus lots of existing scraping code I can adapt for Apify.
What makes my work stand out:
- Fast and efficient Golang actors
- Minimal resource usage
- Strong results (just check out my idealista-scraper!)
I share my actors and Apify tips on Twitter to help others in the scraping community. You can find my work on:
- Apify: https://apify.com/igolaizola
- GitHub: https://github.com/igolaizola
- Twitter: https://x.com/igolaizola
Featuring my work would help showcase what's possible with Golang actors and might inspire others to build more efficient solutions on Apify. Plus, I'm always working on new actors to share with the community!

Hi @Saurav Jain
Why we should feature you?
We are a team of 5 who are fully focused on building apify actors. So far we have built 11 public actors and more on the pipeline and test. We combine technical expertise with customer-focused innovation, making data extraction accessible to businesses of all sizes. Our commitment to quality, reliability, and cost-effectiveness sets us apart. How would it make a change? If we get more attraction from features and get more of our actors rented, it will empower us with some more financial benefits which we havenāt been able to see now and our team might get more motivated that its possible from actors as well. And it will help us hire more in the team who have more experience and expertise and help us grow more. Our profile : https://apify.com/getdataforme

I have successfully completed many web scraping projects for clients, and have published my own projects based on web scraping. However, while web scraping can provide lots of value, the biggest challenge is grinding out the B2B marketing.
As someone doing web scraping part time, I don't have enough time commitment to write seo blog posts, record youtube videos, etc.
This is where platforms like apify can help, where you guys take care of the distribution, marketing, and server management, and I can finally focus on coding in peace.
I recently joined and published a few actors. I have plenty of ideas to try out, and I can repurpose some of my past freelance work to publish on apify.
Having users for my projects is always a thrill, and I hope with feedback and trial and error I can understand better the B2B value of web scraping, and potentially make this my full time job.

Hello š
I'm Azzouz, I'm not a sales guy so I might not choose the best wording, but:
I've built 12 public Actors (and counting), achieving consistent results with efficient use of resources, primarily targeting real estate websites.
I have experience automating scraping for financial institutions, which often involves overcoming high levels of bot protection, from their web portals and/or by reverse-engineering mobile applications.
Iām fluent in English and French (conversationalist Italian) and I write Actors READMEs in both languages (where it applies). Additionally, I can provide customer support in either language.
Since joining the Apify community in October 2022, I've been active & Iāve utilized most of the apify platform's features, gaining a well-rounded understanding of its system, aiming to become fully dedicated to this as my full-time job.

Hi š,
I am excited to introduce myself as a developer passionate about creating impactful and innovative Actors on Apify. My journey in automation and data extraction has been both challenging and fulfilling, and Apify has been a key platform in showcasing my skills and solutions.

Thank you for the opportunity to be considered for featuring!
Why you should feature me
Iāve developed two standout scrapers that are among the fastest and most complete in the market:
1. Google Ads Scraper: Extract text, image, and video ads directly from the Google Ads Transparency Center. Gain access to comprehensive ad details, including ad copy, locations, and more. Itās the ultimate tool for marketers and researchers looking to gain a competitive edge by diving deeper into Google Ads library.
2. LinkedIn Ads Scraper: Extract ads of any format from the LinkedIn Ad Library. This tool provides detailed ad information, including ad copy, media URLs, call-to-action buttons, and more. It empowers users to analyze LinkedInās ad ecosystem effectively and gain a competitive advantage.
Both scrapers are designed for speed, reliability, and completeness, ensuring top-notch performance and seamless data extraction.
Iām an active member of the Apify community, constantly improving my tools and promptly addressing support tickets to ensure the best experience for my users.
How it would make a change
For me: It would increase usage and visibility, allowing me to grow and refine these tools further.
For customers: They gain access to fast, reliable, and highly complete scrapers for ad intelligence.
For Apify: Featuring these tools showcases Apifyās ability to host high-quality, trustworthy actors, enhancing its image in the market.

I would love to be considered for featuring on the Apify store homepage. Hereās why I believe Iām a strong candidate:
Diverse Actor Portfolio
Iāve published 25 Actors on Apify, covering categories like e-commerce, real estate, social media, and maps. My Actors help users quickly and efficiently gather data from various sources. With an impressive average success rate of 94.1% and response time within 24 hours, my contributions speak for themselves. You can check out my profile here: https://apify.com/delicious_zebu.
Community Engagement
Iām ranked 221 in the Apify Discord community and remain actively involved, helping others troubleshoot and find solutions to their challenges.
Unique and Impactful Actors
My Actors are designed to solve real-world data challenges. For instance:
Amazon Reviews Scraper with Advanced Filters: Enables users to filter reviews based on preferences and breaks Amazonās limitation of 100 reviews per product by scraping up to 6,400 reviews.
Google Maps Data Scraper: Overcomes Google Maps' 120-result limit and gathers rich field data for more comprehensive insights.
Active Social Sharing
I frequently share my work and updates on Twitter to engage a wider audience. You can follow me here: https://x.com/jayiuiuiu.
