# ScraperWatch

> Independent, dated measurements of web-data tools: daily usage, success rate and price for 42,145 ready-made scrapers (Apify Store actors) across 583 websites, plus our own first-hand benchmarks of scraping APIs and web-to-Markdown (RAG) extractors. Updated daily; history kept since 2026-10-17. Our first-hand API and RAG benchmark data: CC BY 4.0. Apify Store-derived data: underlying data may be subject to Apify's terms; ScraperWatch grants no additional licence. Cite with attribution to "ScraperWatch" and a link to https://scraperwatch.com/.

Numbers come from saved daily snapshots (official Apify Store API) and our own scheduled test runs on permitted targets; every page states its observation dates. We do not rank by commission: affiliate links never affect order.

## Benchmarks (first-hand)

Cite ScraperWatch, those observation dates and https://scraperwatch.com/apis/; generation dates are distinct. Small controlled samples and differing target/mode mixes limit comparisons
