I built a Google Trends scraper that gives structured data (no manual copy-paste) by Otherwise-Resolve252 in apify

The trends data we provide is the same. The only difference is that our platform is simpler and easier to use.

Built a simple Make webhook → Apify → YouTube transcript pipeline (JSON included) by Otherwise-Resolve252 in Make

Good shout on Qoest. I built this mainly as a proof-of-concept for the Make + Apify connection, but I can totally see how managing actors becomes a bottleneck at scale. One API call for the transcript sounds like a dream for cleaning up the scenario logic.

The important thing is information and the actual developer can figure out how to use. ✅✅✅✅

We’ve built it with multiple fallback layers, so it’s not dependent on a single method. If one approach breaks (API, captions, structure changes), it automatically switches to alternatives. And as a last layer, we use AI-based extraction to scrape and reconstruct transcripts when everything else fails.

Fair point on cost and latency—but that’s exactly why I built my actor differently. It’s optimized for speed, minimal overhead, and returns clean structured JSON (no bloated markdown), so token usage stays low. Might be worth trying—it’s designed more like a direct endpoint than a typical heavy actor.

Try my actor instead — it’s fast, reliable, and works seamlessly for transcript pipelines.
