The Developer Tools category is the infrastructure layer — actors that handle the hard parts of web data extraction so your agent doesn’t have to. You’ll find headless browser scrapers, Cheerio-based crawlers, screenshot generators, transcript extractors, and purpose-built parsers for dozens of platforms. These tools are designed to be composed: pipe their output into AI, automation, or lead generation actors to build complete pipelines.
This category contains 6,448 APIs, updated daily from Apify’s marketplace.

Use with your agent

The example below uses the Cheerio Scraper for a fast, low-cost crawl of a website — suitable when JavaScript rendering is not required. 
import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/apify~cheerio-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items",
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN"},
    json={
        "startUrls": [{"url": "https://example.com"}],
        "pageFunction": """
            async function pageFunction(context) {
                const { $, request } = context;
                return {
                    url: request.url,
                    title: $('title').text(),
                    bodyText: $('body').text().trim()
                };
            }
        """,
        "maxRequestsPerCrawl": 50
    }
)

pages = response.json()
for page in pages:
    print(page["url"], page["title"])
