apify-blocked-scrape-triage

Diagnose and recover a scrape that is blocked, throttled, or served empty or partial content, in cost order, before paying for a heavier Actor. Use when a run returns 0 items, when a site answers 403, 429 or a challenge page, when the HTML comes back empty or truncated, when a request fails with no response at all, when the page shows data in a browser that the Actor does not see, or when a scraper that worked yesterday suddenly returns nothing. Triggers - "I'm getting blocked", "403 from the site", "429 rate limited", "Cloudflare challenge", "scraper returns empty results", "connection reset", "page loads in my browser but not in the Actor", "do I need residential proxies", "should I switch to a browser", "my scraper broke overnight". Escalates in cost order - a cheaper published source first, then reachability, request rate and IP spread, request fidelity, session tokens, the site's own internal API, browser last.

Check whether a planned Apify Actor is worth building before writing code. The user describes the Actor; the skill measures demand (Google Ads search volume and CPC for "<site> scraper / api / mcp / data" keywords, plus the target site's Similarweb traffic), checks for an official API, counts competing Actors on the Apify Store, then digs into competitors in proportion to how crowded the niche is: input-schema powerup coverage and pricing, issue-queue and run-failure quality audit, and n8n template demand. Ends with a Markdown report answering: is there demand, is there room against competition, and which value-added features would make the Actor stand out. Use when the user asks to "check the potential of an Actor idea", "validate an Actor idea", "should I build an Actor for <site>", "is there demand for a <site> scraper", "is it worth building a <site> API or MCP on Apify", or describes a planned Actor and asks whether it makes sense. Requires Apify CLI or Apify MCP server.

Pull structured Apple App Store and Google Play data — app metadata, price, rating, the 1–5★ ratings histogram, version, developer, and reviews — and watch it for changes over time. Use when the user asks to look up an iOS or Android app by App ID, bundle ID, package name or app name, compare a set of competitor apps across both stores, monitor a competitor's price or rating for changes, track when an app ships a new version, scrape App Store or Google Play reviews, resolve a bundle ID to a full app record, check an app's rating across multiple country storefronts, build an ASO or app-market dataset, or set up a recurring app-store watch on an app's price, rating and version. One routed Actor, praise-most-high/app-store-intelligence, is built by this skill's author; every other row is unaffiliated (see Disclosure).

"Scrape Ashby jobs or discover companies using Ashby with the Apify Ashby Job Board API Actor (johnvc/ashby-job-board-scraper). Job mode returns live job rows with title, company, location, remote and employment fields, publish date, apply URL, employer-published salary columns, equity flag, and Markdown descriptions. Company mode finds Ashby boards from a bundled directory or checks a prospect list, returning company name, board slug and URL, live open-job count, and verification fields. Takes company names, board slugs, or board URLs; supports pre-billing job filters and publishedAfter feeds. Use for Ashby jobs data or API requests, salary and remote-role collection, job-board pipelines, companies using Ashby/Ashby customers, ATS market maps, prospect checks, and recruiting or sales target lists. Billed per delivered result with no start fee, and MCP-ready for Claude and other AI agents."

Find and enrich B2B leads from Booking.com - hotels, apartments, and vacation rentals - and pull each host's or property manager's real contact details (email, phone, company name, registration number). Use when the user says things like "get emails from Booking.com", "Booking.com lead generation", "find tour operator / property manager / host contacts", "scrape accommodation owner emails", or "build a list of Booking hosts". The host's email is usually already inside the Booking scraper's traderInfo field (EU/AU trader-transparency disclosure) - this skill leads with that and uses a Google Maps email scraper only as a fallback, instead of relying on Google Maps first (which mostly returns the wrong business).

Organic LinkedIn presence, end to end, with LinkedIn's own rules enforced in code.

Headline and whole-profile scoring with fixes ranked by points per hour; positioning brief with a mandatory exclusion list; cadence priced against real hours with a 90-minute floor; newsletter eligibility + six-month sustainability gate; post linter blocking on engagement bait and screen-reader-hostile Unicode pseudo-bold; repurposing with a reuse ledger; capped commenting roster and template-refusing outreach; analytics that test patterns against a seeded permutation null and refuse to conclude below 10 posts. 17 stdlib tools, 15 references with per-claim confidence levels.

ouroboros

Sits in front of Claude Code and fixes the brief before the code. An interview scores how vague your request is, and a score above the bar blocks spec generation until you pass force explicitly. When an acceptance criterion defines a verify command or an expected-output assertion, those values are omitted from the worker's contract block, with no flag to put them back, so the worker is asked for the outcome rather than handed the assertion. Redaction of those values elsewhere is literal over five encodings, so a reshaped copy can still get through; that gap is tracked in a public issue.
