Apify Question:

Does anyone know a good option (preferably free, but I don't mind paying a little if it's good) that can extract data?
I'm looking for a tool that can search specific websites (ideally 5 of my choice) for job offers and then forward the results to Make.com, which will handle the rest of the workflow.

Depends on what you want to scrape - if there is not too much anti-automation security, you can try with apify/website-content-crawler. It should be easy to integrate with Make (see Apifys and Makes relevant documentation.

What if I want to automatically extract job listings for positions like "Warehouse worker" or "dishwasher" (and so on) from several job websites—let's say four different ones—and send the data to Make.com once a week? Where it will then translate and send it to Outlook module.........

Looking at different job scraping actors (I just searched "job" on Apify Store ) it seems like they in general supports searching for something specific like "Warehouse worker". For the integration with Make, you can either use the trigger "Watch Task Runs" and schedule a task, or trigger the runs from make with the "Run a Task" and schedule you scenario

And do People usally Charge Money on theyre Scraper, if not why dont they?
Like lets say i compleated this Scrapper, and not want to use it, do i have to like pay a lilte bit money to Apify or can i use my own Scrapper for free? Do you know?

If you make it public people can use it and if they are paid plan you will earn through it.

thenetaji•7/3/25, 10:27 AM

ArzOP•7/4/25, 5:42 AM

But if I make it public, will I still need to pay for the Apify subscription, or is it free then?

ArzOP•7/4/25, 5:45 AM

My only question is: do I have to pay in both scenarios? One where I make the scraper public, and the other where I keep it private. That’s all I want to know.
