Steady API: no-browser scrapers you can call in one HTTP request

Five small, reliable data extractors that run on Apify. None of them launch a browser, so runs are fast (usually 5 to 20 seconds) and cheap. Every tool returns clean JSON you can drop into a spreadsheet, a database, or an LLM prompt.

ToolWhat you getPrice
YouTube Transcript ScraperTranscripts as text, timestamped segments, SRT or VTT, plus video metadata. No YouTube API key$2 / 1,000 videos
Google Hotels ScraperHotel name, nightly price, star class, rating, reviews, coordinates, photos$2 / 1,000 hotels
Google Ads Transparency ScraperEvery ad a domain or advertiser runs, with format, first/last shown dates and regions$1.50 / 1,000 ads
Google Trends ScraperInterest over time, related and rising queries, related topics, interest by region$2 / 1,000 results
Threads ScraperProfile posts, single posts with replies, and keyword search, with engagement counts$3 / 1,000 posts

New Apify accounts get free monthly credit, which is enough to try every tool here.

Quick start (Python, no dependencies)

export APIFY_TOKEN=your_token   # https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations
cd python
python youtube_transcript.py "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"
python google_hotels.py "hotels in tokyo"
python google_ads_transparency.py nike.com
python google_trends.py chatgpt gemini claude

Quick start (Node 18+)

APIFY_TOKEN=your_token node node/run.mjs steadyapi~google-hotels-scraper '{"queries":["hotels in paris"],"maxHotelsPerQuery":10}'

Ready-made examples

Each tool also has one-click example tasks on Apify, for example:

How billing works

You pay per result row returned. Rows that describe an error (for example a private video) are also returned and billed, so you always see what happened to every input. Paid Apify plans get an extra 10 to 30 percent off automatically.

Using with AI agents

All five tools are available through the Apify MCP server, so Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients can call them directly.

Remote MCP endpoint with all five tools (send your Apify token as Authorization: Bearer <token>):

https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=steadyapi/youtube-transcript-scraper,steadyapi/google-hotels-scraper,steadyapi/google-ads-transparency-scraper,steadyapi/google-trends-scraper,steadyapi/threads-scraper

This server is also listed in the official MCP Registry as io.github.steadyapi/scrapers (see server.json).

Support

Open an issue in this repository or on the tool's Apify page. Breakages caused by site changes are usually fixed the same day.
