What would be Apifier without an API
Things have been crazy here at Apifier since our launch almost 3 weeks ago. We received tons of great feedback from our users, worked day…and night on new features, ran on Product Hunt and finally, presented Apifier at the Y Combinator Fellowship Demo day in Mountain View to about 200 YC alumni and partners. Okay, enough said, here is what’s new: ¶ API — now you can list crawls, run them and view their results using a RESTful API. To make this easy to find, we added a dedicated API section to almost every page. ¶ CSV output — although JSON is cool, people sometimes prefer to view their data as table (sigh).

Apifier is here
This is our very first blog post because we are launching today!Apifier is a hosted web crawler for developers that enables them to extract data from any website using a few simple lines of JavaScript. ¶ You might wonder, why build another web scraper when there are already so many of them. Indeed, that’s exactly what we thought about a year ago when one of our customers asked us to setup a system to regularly and reliably extract large amounts of data from a variety of websites.Jan ČurnOct 19, 2015
