Macaly and Apify turn content from across the web into sites and apps
Most of the content you need for a new site already exists somewhere online. Now Macaly can go and get it for you, from Google Maps to Airbnb, and build it straight into a website or app.
Macaly
Your Google Maps profile has your address, opening hours, and reviews. LinkedIn has your work history and projects. Your Airbnb listing has the description and photos.
Until now, building a new site meant copying and pasting all of it by hand. Starting today, Macaly does that part for you.
We've partnered with Apify, the world's largest marketplace of web data tools. It’s home to more than 40,000 ready-made tools that give you exactly the data you need: text, photos, profiles, prices, reviews, comments. From Instagram to Amazon to Airbnb. To the whole web.
“Developers have been using Apify to power their apps with fresh web data for over a decade now. Our new integration with Macaly gives the same power to 10x more people: small business owners, marketers, sales or HR folks. Thanks to Macaly's agents and Apify's tools, truly anyone can now automate their work.”
We've connected that entire Apify library directly to Macaly. Just tell the agent where your content lives, and it finds it, pulls it, and builds it into a site or app.
The Apify integration is available in every Macaly account starting today.
What you can build
Macaly finds your content, pulls it, and shapes it into a website, portfolio, dashboard, or full-featured app. A few things you can make:
- A site from your business profile. Macaly pulls the details from your Google Maps profile — photos, opening hours, reviews — and turns them into a complete website.
- A social media dashboard. Pull posts and profile data from Instagram, TikTok, or Facebook and turn them into an interactive dashboard.
- A CV or portfolio. Send a link to your LinkedIn profile and Macaly extracts your experience, skills, and the rest, then builds them into a finished CV.
- A rental site. Take your property listing from Airbnb or Booking.com and turn it into a standalone site, complete with descriptions, photos, and reviews.
- A product catalog. Pull products from stores like Amazon or eBay and build a catalog that tracks prices and watches for deals on the items you care about.
- A competitor dashboard. Track competitors’ products, prices, or social presence and watch it update over time.
These are just starting points. Macaly can pull content from most major platforms, online stores, review sites, and listings. It opens the door to more ambitious projects, where you need data to gather at scale or refresh on a schedule.
Getting started
Open any project in Macaly and tell it what content you want and where it lives. There's nothing to set up. You don't need an Apify account or any API keys, the integration is built right into Macaly.
Before Macaly pulls anything, it asks for your go-ahead and shows you how many credits the action could use at most. Cost depends on how much data you're gathering. Nothing runs and no credits are spent until you confirm.
And it only works with publicly available data, what anyone can already see on the site.
For the full walkthrough, see our Apify integration docs.
