Common questions
Is Steady API Scrapers safe?
It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
What keys or codes does it need?
You need to fill in: Authorization
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry last month.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

Steady API: no-browser scrapers you can call in one HTTP request
Five small, reliable data extractors that run on Apify. None of them launch a browser, so runs are fast (usually 5 to 20 seconds) and cheap. Every tool returns clean JSON you can drop into a spreadsheet, a database, or an LLM prompt.
| Tool | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| YouTube Transcript Scraper | Transcripts as text, timestamped segments, SRT or VTT, plus video metadata. No YouTube API key | $2 / 1,000 videos |
| Google Hotels Scraper | Hotel name, nightly price, star class, rating, reviews, coordinates, photos | $2 / 1,000 hotels |
| Google Ads Transparency Scraper | Every ad a domain or advertiser runs, with format, first/last shown dates and regions | $1.50 / 1,000 ads |
| Google Trends Scraper | Interest over time, related and rising queries, related topics, interest by region | $2 / 1,000 results |
| Threads Scraper | Profile posts, single posts with replies, and keyword search, with engagement counts | $3 / 1,000 posts |
New Apify accounts get free monthly credit, which is enough to try every tool here.
Quick start (Python, no dependencies)
export APIFY_TOKEN=your_token # https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations
cd python python youtube_transcript.py "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ" python google_hotels.py "hotels in tokyo" python google_ads_transparency.py nike.com python google_trends.py chatgpt gemini claude python threads_profile.py zuck
Quick start (Node 18+)
APIFY_TOKEN=your_token node node/run.mjs steadyapi~google-hotels-scraper '{"queries":["hotels in paris"],"maxHotelsPerQuery":10}'
Ready-made examples
Each tool also has one-click example tasks on Apify, for example:
- Compare hotel prices in Paris
- See every Google ad a competitor runs
- Compare search interest for AI chatbots
- Download YouTube subtitles as SRT
- Search Threads posts by keyword
How billing works
You pay per result row returned. Rows that describe an error (for example a private video) are also returned and billed, so you always see what happened to every input. Paid Apify plans get an extra 10 to 30 percent off automatically.
Using with AI agents
All five tools are available through the Apify MCP server, so Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients can call them directly.
