Summary:
Apify Store launches new curated Actor collections
Why It Matters:
The platform is shifting its focus from a general tool to a marketplace of specific solutions. By organizing tools into categories like "Hidden Gems" and "Rising Stars," they make it easier for users to find niche scrapers and for third-party developers to get noticed.
What Changed:
- The homepage now defaults to the Apify Store view instead of a general platform overview.
- Added new curated sections including "$1M Challenge picks," "Hidden Gems," and "Rising Stars."
- Introduced specific category filters for Social Media, AI, Agents, Lead Generation, and E-commerce.
- Updated the featured tools list to include more community-built "Actors" with visible pricing (e.g., $0.25/1K tweets).
- Changed the primary headline from "Get real-time web data for your AI" to "Apify Store - 21,000+ web scraping and automation tools."
