Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    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.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned apify/agent-skills at 8449f30c74.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

The Apify Ultimate Scraper is a powerful tool designed to extract data from websites efficiently. It supports complex scraping tasks, including handling JavaScript-rendered pages and managing large-scale web crawling operations.

When to use it

  • To scrape dynamic content from single-page applications (SPAs) that rely on JavaScript.
  • For large-scale data extraction projects requiring high performance and reliability.
  • When you need to extract structured data from multiple websites simultaneously.

Key capabilities

  • Handles JavaScript-rendered pages using headless browser technology.
  • Supports custom scraping rules and XPath/CSS selectors for precise data extraction.
  • Can manage large-scale web crawling with built-in rate limiting and proxy support.

Example prompts

  • "Scrape all product titles and prices from https://example-store.com."
  • "Extract the latest news headlines from multiple news websites using JavaScript-rendered content."
  • "Set up a scraper to monitor changes on a competitor's pricing page every hour."

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure you have proper permissions and comply with website terms of service before scraping.
  • Use proxy rotation or throttling settings to avoid being blocked by target sites during large-scale crawls.
