About Apify
We’re building the world’s largest platform for web data and tools for AI builders. Legal info
Founded in 2015
Apify was launched by Jan Čurn and Jakub Balada in 2015 from the Y Combinator Fellowship in Mountain View, California. The original idea was to make it easy for developers to build flexible and scalable web crawlers simply using front-end JavaScript, thanks to the back-then new headless browser technology.
Built with ❤️ and 🍺 in Prague
In 2016, the team moved back to the Czech Republic, raised a seed investment, and started building a company around its product. Soon it became obvious that customers’ use cases need more than a simple JavaScript crawler, so we committed to building the most flexible full-stack platform for web scraping and browser automation.
