Power up with Apify
Explore Crawlee for Python, upgrade your workflows with Actor bundles, try Actor Standby mode, and discover more exciting updates!
?? Let'sssss celebrate the launch of Crawlee for Python!
You might have noticed some noise on Hacker News or Reddit already — after the success of Crawlee for JavaScript, we've launched Crawlee v0.1 for Python!
As usual, it's open source and full of goodies: a unified interface for HTTP and headless browser crawling, automatic retries, integrated proxy rotation, pluggable storage, and much more.
We couldn't leave you without exploring the features we just launched. On?August 5?at?9 am EST,?we'll be going live with the creators of the library. Join the live for an in-depth exploration of the library's features, a roadmap overview, a live demo, and a Q&A session.
??Introducing Actor Standby mode — your fast API server
Don't be fooled by the word "stand" in the title; standby means that your Actor can now run non-stop! Long story short, once enabled, an Actor in Standby mode will deliver immediate responses via API requests at any given moment.
How, you ask? Unlike a regular Actor, which makes you wait for each run to finish, once started, an Actor in Standby mode runs continuously in the background, ready to handle arbitrary HTTP requests. Just like any web or API server.
Some of our Actors, like SuperScraper API, have already leveled up with Standby mode.
?? Think big: meet Apify bundles
How can we move Actors to the next level? How about combining Actors into workflows! A feat of web automation engineering, bundles can scrape multiple platforms at once, aggregate all that data, and perform complex analysis — sometimes all in one run! With love from our Delivery team:
?? Restaurant Review Aggregator: get restaurant reviews from Yelp, Google Maps, DoorDash, UberEats, Tripadvisor, and Facebook at once.
?? Social Media Sentiment Analysis Tool: scrape profiles, their posts, and comments across 3 different platforms, get a sentiment score for each comment.
?? Social Media Finder: find social media handles across 13 platforms at once. See how to use it in this video:

? New API Docs and other goodies
Based on popular demand, with the updated API Docs you can quickly find the information you need to build, deploy, and monitor your Actors via API.
