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.

Each tool also has one-click example tasks on Apify, for example:
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.
All five tools are available through the Apify MCP server, so Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients can call them directly.
