Apify

Good outreach starts with good data. Glad Apify is part of the process, Kuldip!

Last week, Apify had a booth at COFIT - the career fair for FIT CTU students in Prague. Great conversations, curious people, and a lot of energy in the room. We talked to students about what they're building, what they want to work on next, and what it's actually like to work at a company like Apify. And everyone who stopped by left with free Apify Store platform usage to start experimenting right away. Thanks to everyone who came to chat - it was genuinely fun. Hope to see some of what you build next! 🚀

Last week, Apify hosted OpenClaw Prague #1 🦞 Around 30 people packed into the office for an evening of hands-on AI agent demos and honest conversations. Jakub Drobník showed his OpenClaw setup and the Apify OpenClaw plugin - including a GitHub Projects workflow where OpenClaw acts as an orchestrator for automated development. One highlight: instead of generating tasks manually, you can ask it to groom its own backlog using web scraping for inspiration. The recurring theme of the evening? Claude Code and OpenClaw are both genuinely useful - just for different reasons. And using OpenClaw as a personal assistant turned out to be the biggest use case in the room. Thanks to Daniel Vecera for putting this together🙌 Already looking forward to the next one!

🔍 Most hotel teams monitor reviews the same way they did 10 years ago. Log in, scroll, copy notes. Here's what a modern review pipeline looks like: 1. Scrape TripAdvisor, Google Maps, and Booking.com on a schedule 2. Export structured review data to Google Drive 3. Compare each day's dataset against the previous to catch removed reviews and build a record over time 4. Use Claude to analyze patterns → which properties get the most complaints, which issues go unanswered, which traveler types rate you lowest ⭐ ↓ Full step-by-step guide in the comments.

🗺️ Your franchise plan shows three new cities for Q3 - but half the local businesses you need only show up as tagged Instagram locations, not in Google Maps or Yelp. Manual search means missed leads: you see the first screen of results, not the long tail of active locations competitors ignore. Instagram Search Scraper turns keyword and region search into structured, ready-to-use datasets - profiles, coordinates, categories, post counts, sample posts - so you can build local business networks from real social activity. When discovery stays manual, you scale outreach with incomplete lists - and leave untapped regions on the table. 📍 See how to map Instagram-tagged businesses at scale → apify.it/L024a

Searching for leads on LinkedIn manually - reviewing profiles, copy-pasting details one by one - can eat hours you don't have. This four-step n8n workflow automates the whole pipeline: search for prospects, scrape their profiles, enrich with contact details, and push everything straight into Google Sheets. Two Apify Actors, one clean output, ready to rerun whenever your targeting shifts. Full tutorial in the comments 👇

You don't need an enterprise influencer platform to vet creator partnerships. If you're already building influencer shortlists, you're halfway there.

That’s what no other tool gives you ✔️ Get your results in a spreadsheet, set it to run on repeat, and let AI handle the scoring. 🔍 Try Instagram Profile Scraper - with $5 free usage every month → apify.it/L26c
