Frequently asked questions
How the scrapers work, what they cost, and how to use the data, including from ChatGPT and Claude.
Getting started
What is Get Anything?
Get Anything is a set of 49 ready-to-run web scrapers on Apify for Gulf jobs, Dubai real estate, e-commerce (Amazon, Noon, Shopify, Sharaf DG), app stores, social media, finance and LLM-ready web data. You run them in the cloud and download the results as Excel, CSV or JSON, or pull them over an API.
What is Apify?
Apify is a cloud platform for web scraping and automation. Each scraper (called an Actor) runs on Apify's servers, so you don't install anything. You sign up for a free Apify account, open a scraper's page and click Try for free.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. Every scraper has a form for its inputs (keywords, country, number of results) and a table of results you can export to Excel. Developers can also call the same scrapers from Python, JavaScript or any HTTP client.
Do I need an account on the website being scraped?
No. The scrapers read public pages and public APIs without logging in, so there's no risk to your own accounts on those sites.
How do I export the data to Excel or Google Sheets?
After a run, open the dataset and export it as Excel (XLSX), CSV or JSON. For Google Sheets, import the CSV or use Apify's Google Sheets integration to push results automatically.
Pricing
How much do the scrapers cost?
You pay per result returned, typically between $0.80 and $10 per 1,000 results depending on the scraper, plus a tiny start fee. There's no subscription. Each scraper's page shows its exact price.
Is there a free option?
Yes. Apify's free plan includes monthly platform credit, which is enough to test the scrapers and run small jobs at no cost.
Do I pay for failed or empty runs?
No result means no result charge. If a source blocks a request or returns nothing, those items aren't billed. In monitor modes you only pay for new or changed items.
Are there discounts for regular use?
Yes. Most scrapers charge less per result on Apify's paid Bronze, Silver and Gold plans.
AI assistants and agents
Can I use these scrapers from ChatGPT or Claude?
Yes. Add the Apify MCP server (https://mcp.apify.com) as a connector in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or VS Code, and the assistant can run any scraper for you. To expose a single scraper, use https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=get_anything/<scraper-name>.
How do I give an AI agent live web search?
Use the AI Web Search Scraper: it takes a query and returns the top results with title, URL and snippet, plus each page's main text as clean Markdown with a token estimate. No search API key is needed.
How do I turn a website into Markdown for RAG?
Use the LLM Web Scraper. Give it URLs (or one site to crawl) and it returns only the main content as Markdown, without navigation, ads or cookie banners, with metadata and an approximate token count per page.
Can I get YouTube transcripts for ChatGPT?
Yes. The YouTube Transcript Scraper returns a video's transcript as clean text, ready to paste into a prompt or load into a RAG pipeline.
Gulf and Middle East data
Where can I get Dubai property sold prices?
The DLD Transactions Scraper returns official Dubai Land Department sales data for any date range: transaction counts, total value and price per square metre by community, property type, and first sale versus resale.
How do I search jobs on several Gulf job boards at once?
The GCC Jobs Aggregator searches LinkedIn, NaukriGulf, Bayt and GulfTalent in one run and merges the same job posted on several boards into one record. In an October 2026 sample, only 1.2% of UAE jobs appeared on more than one board, so a multi-board search finds far more openings.
Which Gulf countries are covered?
The UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman for jobs; the UAE and Saudi Arabia (plus Egypt on Noon) for e-commerce; Dubai for property transactions.
Can I get the gold price in AED or INR?
Yes. The Gold Price Scraper returns gold, silver, platinum and palladium in any currency, per gram, tola, kilo and 10 grams, with 24k, 22k, 21k, 18k and 14k prices.
E-commerce data
How do I track Amazon best sellers?
The Amazon Products & Best Sellers scraper reads Best Sellers, New Releases, Movers & Shakers and Most Wished For rankings on 21 Amazon marketplaces, including India, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and the US.
Can I monitor competitor prices automatically?
Yes. The Shopify Store Scraper has a monitor mode that returns only new products and price changes since the last run, and every scraper can be scheduled. Schedule it daily on Apify for automatic price tracking.
How do I research products for dropshipping?
Track Amazon best sellers or movers & shakers in a category, then compare their prices and ratings with supplier costs and with Noon in the Gulf.
Reliability and custom work
What happens if a website blocks the scraper?
Requests are retried from fresh connections. The scrapers never try to solve CAPTCHAs or defeat bot protection; if a site still refuses, those items are skipped and not charged, and the run log says which source was unavailable.
How often is the data updated?
Every run fetches live data at that moment. Schedule runs hourly, daily or weekly on Apify to keep a fresh, dated history.
Can you build a scraper for a site that isn't listed?
Yes. Custom scrapers and data feeds are available, especially for Gulf and Middle East sites. Email get.anything2026@gmail.com with the site and the fields you need.
