Measured tools (8)

• find_scrapers

  Which tracked scrapers have the most recorded 30-day users for a website? Uses the filtered official Apify Store export; data_updated is the saved snapshot timestamp, with age/status in evidence. Returns usage, run completion and billing fields, not live tests. min_success_rate: zero includes unknown rates; positive thresholds require known rates.

  Parameters:

  • site (required) — string
  • limit — integer
  • min_success_rate — number

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• compare_scrapers read-only

  How do two to five exact actor IDs compare? Uses the filtered official Apify Store export; data_updated and evidence describe the saved snapshot date and age. Reports usage, eligible run completion and compatible result-event rates; unknown/excluded IDs are indistinguishable. Different targets have no winner; listed rates are not total cost.

  Parameters:

  • actor_ids (required) — array

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent not declared · open-world no

• best_scraper

  Which tracked actors lead recorded run completion, usage and qualifying price for a website? Uses the filtered official Apify Store export; data_updated and evidence give snapshot date and age. Completion candidates require 300+ runs and 20+ users; price candidates also require 95%+ completion and known result-event rates. No live tests or output-quality measure.

  Parameters:

  • site (required) — string

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• compare_scraping_apis

  What do saved scraping API tests report? Uses the saved API benchmark summary and frozen matched ScraperAPI/ScrapingBee report. generated_at/window_days date the aggregate only; matched evidence has its own window. Returns completion/content checks and latency with separate denominators and limitations; no current vendor requests.

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• compare_rag_extractors read-only

  How did Firecrawl, Jina Reader and DIY extraction score on saved documentation fixtures? Uses the saved RAG benchmark and hash-checked table audit. Per-vendor last_run dates are source observations; generation time is unknown. Returns text/code/table scores and latency with limitations; audit may be unavailable or stale. No live tests or comparable cost.

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent not declared · open-world no

• compare_proxy_providers read-only

  What captured proxy offers cover a product type and optional monthly GB? Uses research/e5/proxies.json; observed_on dates each captured offer, with observations outside the past 30 days omitted. Estimates full saved package bills only; IP offers are separate and unknown costs remain null. No live prices or performance measurements.

  Parameters:

  • product_type (required) — string
  • monthly_gb

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent not declared · open-world no

• actor_history read-only

  How have one tracked actor's usage, run completion and primary event price changed by day? Uses compact official Apify Store history exports; dates are snapshot filenames, not verified per-actor observation times. days is a UTC calendar window ending today (1-365). Missing days stay absent; event rates are not total cost or necessarily per result.

  Parameters:

  • actor_id (required) — string
  • days — integer

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent not declared · open-world no

• list_websites

  Which websites are in the filtered scraper export, and how many actors and summed 30-day users does each have? Uses saved official Apify Store statistics from latest.json. Counts reflect that snapshot, not live coverage; this response has no date field. Summed actor users are not deduplicated across actors.

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared
