Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 17 hosts that are neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: api.firecrawl.dev, console.apify.com, facebook.com, maps.google.com, reddit.com….

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

About this skill

The apify-scrapers skill provides AI agents with the ability to execute web scraping tasks using Apify's actor ecosystem. It enables automated data extraction from websites by leveraging pre-built and custom scrapers designed for various platforms.

When to use it

  • Extract structured product data, prices, or inventory levels from e-commerce sites.
  • Gather news articles, social media posts, or public records for analysis.
  • Monitor competitor pricing or track changes in website content over time.
  • Collect large datasets that are difficult to retrieve via standard API calls.

Key capabilities

  • Integration with the Apify platform for scalable scraping operations.
  • Support for both pre-built scrapers and custom actor configurations.
  • Automated handling of dynamic content and complex website structures.
  • Data extraction from diverse web sources including social media and news portals.

Example prompts

  • "Use apify-scrapers to extract the top 50 bestselling books and their prices from Amazon."
  • "Run an apify scraper to collect recent technology news headlines from major tech blogs."
  • "Configure apify-scrapers to monitor a specific real estate listing site for new apartments in downtown Chicago."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure you have an active Apify account and API key configured within your agent environment before attempting to run scrapers. Be mindful of target website terms of service and rate limits to avoid IP bans or legal issues during data collection.
