About Rocketyard

Rocketyard builds and maintains pay-per-result scrapers for public web data and publishes them as Actors on the Apify Store, at apify.com/rocketyard. Its GitHub organization is github.com/rocketyard.

  • Recorded pages: every field is tested against saved copies of real pages before a build.
  • Platform test: each build runs on the Apify platform first, and the run must return valid records at the expected cost per result.
  • Live data quality: before publishing, the Actor must return its key fields from real public pages.
  • After release: the new version is verified again and rolls back automatically if a check fails. Regular canary runs catch sites that change.
  • Public pages only. The Actors don’t log in and don’t bypass paywalls, CAPTCHAs or other protections.
  • Every Actor honours robots.txt and crawl-delay on every request, except YouTube Channel Scraper - Subscribers, Views & Links, which reads the public pages of the YouTube channels you give, and the endpoint their Videos and Shorts tabs load more videos from, and doesn’t check its robots.txt; and except Google News API & Scraper - Headlines by Keyword & Country, which reads the public search results of one named platform and doesn’t check its robots.txt.
  • No personal data: the Actors don’t extract information about people, such as profiles, personal emails or personal phone numbers. Company details (a business’s address, main phone or general email) are returned only when the company publishes them in its own website’s structured data.
  • You are responsible for how you use the data under each site’s terms and the law (for example copyright and GDPR).

Apify handles accounts, payments and invoices. Each Actor charges per result plus a small start fee per run, with no subscription. You can cap any run with Maximum cost per run.
