Deploy Apify Scraper Runner

Deploy and Host Apify Scraper Runner on Railway

Apify Scraper Runner is a small private web app that runs more than 190 ready-made Apify web scrapers by Cliqto Media: Reddit, YouTube transcripts, Google Trends, Google Play reviews, Trustpilot, Pinterest, Threads, website contacts and more. Pick a scraper, set limits, click Run, and download the results as CSV or JSON. No code needed.

About Hosting Apify Scraper Runner

The template deploys one Bun service from a single TypeScript file. It needs two variables. APIFY_TOKEN is your own Apify API token (Apify Console, Settings, API & Integrations); it stays on the server and is never sent to the browser. ACCESS_PASSWORD is generated for you and protects the page with a browser login (any user name plus this password). After the deploy, open the public URL, pick a scraper and run it. Every run has a Max results limit (1 to 10,000) and a Cost cap ($0.01 to $25), and Apify stops the run at the limit you set. The /health path is used as the healthcheck.

Common Use Cases

• Collect Reddit posts, Trustpilot or Google Play reviews for market and product research
• Pull YouTube transcripts, Google Trends and autocomplete keywords for content and SEO work
• Find contact details on company websites and export them to CSV for a spreadsheet or CRM

Implementation Details

Example input for google-autocomplete-scraper:

{ "keywords": ["coffee"], "language": "en", "country": "us", "maxResults": 50 }

One row of the result:

{ "suggestion": "coffee near me", "seed": "coffee", "language": "en", "country": "us" }

Pricing: the template is free. Railway bills you for hosting. Apify charges only for your own runs on your own account; each scraper's price is on its page. The app runs Cliqto Media scrapers (cliqtomedia/...) only. The preview shows 50 rows; CSV and JSON downloads include up to 10,000 rows.
