Data Tools: clean web data for developers and AI agents

Ready-to-run Python examples for pay-per-use Apify Actors that turn search trends, news, competitor ads, documents, websites, YouTube, TikTok and Instagram videos and audio into clean JSON, Markdown, CSV and Excel.

🌐 Website: **https://fernandoguiraud16-coder.github.io/data-tools/**

Each example is a single short script plus a sample-output.json from a real cloud run, so you can see exactly what you get before running anything.
