Project Summary

Summary This repository offers a collection of "Apify Agent Skills" for AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI). These skills enable AI agents to perform complex web scraping, data extraction, and automation tasks, enhancing their utility without requiring manual coding for each operation.

How It Works Apify Agent Skills integrate with AI coding assistants via pre-built modules. They utilize Apify Actors, serverless cloud programs, for executing tasks like scraping e-commerce sites or analyzing social media. Each skill is documented in Markdown (SKILL.md), with an auto-generated index (AGENTS.md) allowing AI agents to discover and invoke them, abstracting the complexity of data gathering and automation.

Quick Start & Requirements Installation varies by AI tool:

  • Claude Code: npx skills add apify/agent-skills or add marketplace URL.
  • Cursor/Windsurf: Add to .cursor/settings.json.
  • Codex/Gemini CLI: Reference agents/AGENTS.md.

Prerequisites:

  • Apify account and API token.
  • Node.js version 20.6+.

Output Formats: Quick answer, CSV, JSON.

Highlighted Details Key skills include:

  • E-commerce: Scraping Amazon, Walmart, eBay, IKEA, and 50+ marketplaces for pricing, product research, and sentiment.
  • Market & Social Analysis: Audience Analysis, Brand Reputation, Competitor Intelligence, Influencer Discovery, Lead Generation, Market Research, Trend Analysis across platforms like Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, Google Maps, Booking.com, TripAdvisor.
  • apify-ultimate-scraper: A universal, AI-powered scraper for diverse platforms.
  • Actor Development: Tools for developing, debugging, deploying, or converting projects into Apify Actors.

Maintenance & Community Contribution guidelines are provided. Links to official Apify Documentation and the Apify Discord server are available for support.

Licensing & Compatibility The README does not explicitly state the software license. Potential adopters should verify licensing terms, especially for commercial use or integration into closed-source projects, as compatibility cannot be confirmed.

Limitations & Caveats Functionality requires an active Apify account and API token. Usage incurs pay-per-result pricing via Apify Actors, which varies per Actor and should be reviewed on the Apify platform.
