Developer Builds 7 Apify Actors for Passive Income from Web Scraping

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

A developer created seven Apify actors targeting niche web scraping tasks with zero existing competition, such as domain intelligence and Swedish company registry. Each actor uses Python SDK, Playwright, and aiohttp, with pay-per-event pricing ranging from $0.002 to $0.005 per run. The strategy focuses on low-traffic niches to avoid competition and capture all demand.
