Overview
Drop these skills into Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex, or Gemini CLI and your AI agent gets expert hands on the Apify platform - the marketplace for web data and AI tools. With one install, agents can:
Scrape any site - built-in Actor selection across the major social, search, maps, real estate, and review platforms (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, X, LinkedIn, Google Maps, Reddit, Yelp, Airbnb, and more), 130+ curated Actors, plus automatic fallback to the full Apify Store of 30,000+ Actors for everything else.
Build new Actors - generate, debug, and deploy serverless Actors in JavaScript, TypeScript, or Python with the official SDK patterns.
Actorize existing code - wrap any script, library, or CLI tool as a runnable Actor with proper input and output handling.
Generate output schemas - auto-derive dataset_schema.json, output_schema.json, and key_value_store_schema.json from existing Actor source.
Integrate Apify into your app - call Actors programmatically from existing JavaScript/TypeScript or Python applications via the apify-client package or REST API.
Looking for community-built, domain-specific skills (lead generation, brand monitoring, competitor intel, and more)? See apify/awesome-skills.
Scrape the top 50 results for "AI coding tools" from Google Maps and save them to a CSV.
That's it. The skill handles Actor selection, input shaping, run management, and result formatting.

What it does
apify-ultimate-scraper
AI-powered universal scraper. 130+ curated Actors covering Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, X, LinkedIn, Reddit, Google Maps, Google Search, Google Trends, Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Booking.com, TripAdvisor, Airbnb, Yelp, Telegram, Snapchat, Reddit, GitHub, and more. Falls back to searching the full Apify Store for any platform not covered.
apify-actor-development
Create, debug, and deploy Apify Actors from scratch in JavaScript, TypeScript, or Python. Bundled references cover actor.json, input, output, dataset, and key-value schemas, logging, and standby mode.
apify-actorization
Convert existing code into Apify Actors. Supports the JS/TS SDK, the Python async context manager, and a generic CLI wrapper for any other language.
apify-generate-output-schema
Generate output schemas (dataset_schema.json, output_schema.json, key_value_store_schema.json) for an Actor by analyzing its source code.
apify-sdk-integration
Integrate Apify into an existing JavaScript/TypeScript or Python application via the apify-client package. Covers sync and async execution, dataset and key-value store retrieval, error handling, and the REST API fallback for any other language.
Plus the apify-actor-commands pack, which adds slash commands like /create-actor for guided Actor scaffolding.
Example use cases
Describe the outcome in plain language - your agent picks the right Actors, chains them together, and delivers structured results.
Use case
Example prompt
Lead generation
Find Italian restaurants in Brooklyn rated under 4 stars on Google Maps. Scrape their reviews, crawl their websites for socials and owner emails, and export a ranked CSV for my CRM.
Competitive intelligence
Pull pricing pages, G2 and Trustpilot reviews, recent job postings, and social posts for Competitor A, B, and C. Summarize positioning gaps and opportunities.
Market research
Scrape pricing, review counts, and bestseller rankings for wireless earbuds across Amazon and Walmart. Flag quality issues from negative reviews and recommend a pricing sweet spot.
Brand reputation
Collect mentions of [brand] on Instagram, LinkedIn, X, and YouTube from the last 30 days. Run sentiment analysis and surface the top 5 complaint and praise themes.
Influencer vetting
Find 20 fitness influencers with 50k-500k followers on Instagram and TikTok. Scrape engagement rates, posting frequency, and past brand deals. Rank by engagement-to-follower ratio.
AI search visibility
Run these 10 queries across Google AI Mode, Perplexity, and ChatGPT. Extract which brands get cited and flag where competitors appear instead of us.
Location intelligence
Scrape Google Maps for all coffee shops within 2 miles of these 5 addresses. Compare competitor density, ratings, price levels, and hours. Recommend the best site.

Prerequisites
Apify account - sign up at apify.com (free tier available).
Apify CLI - install with npm install -g apify-cli (or brew install apify-cli on macOS), then run apify login to authenticate via OAuth in your browser. This is the recommended setup.
