Universal Web Scraper

Select a candidate Apify Actor for the requested extraction after checking its current schema, provenance, pricing and limits. The Actor table is a historical shortlist, not a verified availability or best-choice guarantee.

When to Use

• The user needs web data extraction but has not yet chosen a specific Apify Actor.
• You need a general-purpose Apify entry point that maps a broad scraping goal to the most suitable Actor.
• The task spans multiple platforms and benefits from one unified workflow for actor selection, execution, and summarization.

Prerequisites

Verify prerequisites before execution without printing credentials.

• .env file with APIFY_TOKEN
• A supported Node.js release with native fetch, --env-file and ES module syntax detection, or an explicitly configured module package scope
• mcpc CLI tool: npm install -g @apify/mcpc
