Retail prices, bank rates and energy plans, refreshed every night. And a monthly index of the web's link graph: 133 million domains and 2.15 billion links for SEO work and AI agents. Every record is validated and kept with its history, served in seconds, and you pay only per result.
Two families, one factory: nightly retail, finance and energy data, and a monthly index of the web's links. Every Actor works the same way. Pick one to see live numbers, sample output and pricing.

One index of the Common Crawl web graph, rebuilt every month: 133 million domains and 2.15 billion domain-to-domain links, with a year of rank history. Ask it from your code, a spreadsheet or your AI agent.
Found from the sites that link to both. The three closest to ahrefs.com: semrush.com, g2.com and backlinko.com.

Why CrawlPlant
Scrapers that don't break.
These are promises of the factory, not features of one scraper. Every Actor we publish keeps them.
Runs don't fail
Your run reads from the latest snapshot (last night's for prices, rates and plans, this month's for the link index), not from a live site under load. If a page can't be reached, you still get every other record, each marked with when it was collected.

History and change feeds
Every change between snapshots is kept: nightly for prices and rates, monthly for authority and rank. Chart any value over time, or ask only for what changed.

Clean, typed fields
Consistent names, units and types. Stable ids, so the same record keeps the same key forever.
The crawl already happened. A run only reads and filters the harvest: link lookups answer in milliseconds and a typical run takes 2 to 13 seconds.
Monitored around the clock
Canary runs check every Actor every 3 hours and alert us before you notice anything.

Built for AI agents
Give your agent data it can trust.
All 8 Actors work as tools in any MCP client through the Apify MCP server. Your agent gets typed records with timestamps and history, so it can say what changed and how fresh each number is.

Questions agents ask
groceriesIs this week's price on 2 L milk a real special, or just back to normal?
financeWhich bank pays the most on a 12-month term deposit today?
linksWho links to scrapy.org's competitors but not to scrapy.org?
linksHow strong is firecrawl.dev, and is it rising?
Retail, finance and energy sources are crawled every night. The link-graph Actors read an index of the Common Crawl web graph that we rebuild every month, with 12 monthly releases of rank history. Every record carries a timestamp or release name, so you always know how fresh a value is.
What if a site changes or blocks requests?
Your run is served from the latest snapshot, so it keeps working. Canary checks every 3 hours tell us about a change long before it reaches you, and we fix it before the next refresh. You get partial results, never an empty failed run.
What is Open Authority (OA)?
A domain's rank in the web's link graph, on a 0–100 log scale. It is computed from the Common Crawl web graph every month, so it is open and repeatable. OA 60+ is roughly the top 150,000 domains; OA 80+ roughly the top 5,000.
Why do referring-domain counts move from month to month?
Each monthly crawl samples a different set of pages, so around 17% of referring domains change between releases even when nothing happened. We label those rows "newly seen" and "no longer seen", and use the 3- and 12-month trends for real direction.
What formats can I get?
Each Actor runs on the Apify platform. Results come as JSON, CSV or Excel from the Console, through the Apify API or client libraries, on a schedule, or as a tool for AI agents via MCP.
Is this legal? What data do you collect?
We collect publicly available data only: no personal data, nothing behind a login. Crawls are paced and run at night to keep load on each site low. How you use the data is up to you, under the source's terms and your local law.
Can you build a scraper for another site?
Yes. Email us the site and the fields you need. We prioritise by demand and let you know when it's live.
