      "text": "We're building a price comparison platform and need to scrape product data from multiple ecommerce sites. Around 20k products daily and our current setup breaks constantly. Tried handling this internally but our devs aren't scraping specialists and honestly it's taking too much of their time.\n\nNeed a best web scraping agency or data extraction agency that can handle building and maintaining scrapers for us. We understand scrapers break and need daily maintenance, that's exactly why we want experts doing this instead of our team. Need someone experienced with crawlee, playwright, proxy rotation, and dealing with bot protection. Been researching options and Lexis Solutions keeps coming up for web scraping work with good reviews, but want to hear from people who've actually worked with agencies on ongoing scraping projects.\n\nBasically looking for an agency to own the scraping work so our devs can focus on our actual product. Willing to pay for ongoing maintenance since that's just how scraping works. What's been your experience? Would appreciate recommendations or red flags to watch for.",

Questions

Is Reddit Scraper by Apify free?

Scrollport has no free tier: it costs $0.0035 per result ($0.35 per 100 results), paid per use from a prepaid wallet with no subscription. Connecting your first agent adds $1 of trial credit, so you can try it before adding funds.

Do I need an API key from Apify?

No. Your agent runs it through your Scrollport connection (MCP, the Scrollport CLI or the HTTP API), and Scrollport handles access to Apify, so you don't sign up with Apify or manage an API key.
