// ABOUT APIFY & ACTORS

What the hell is an Apify Actor?

Listen up, meat. An Apify Actor is basically a serverless program that runs in the cloud and does your dirty work while you sit there eating Doritos. It scrapes websites, extracts data, automates boring-ass tasks, and doesn't complain about overtime. I've built 200 of these beautiful bastards. They're like my demon children, except useful.

Are these actors free? I'm broke as hell.

Relax, cheapskate. Apify gives you free compute credits when you sign up - enough to test drive these bad boys without selling a kidney. Heavy users need a paid plan, but that's between you and your wallet. I just build the weapons. Whether you can afford the ammo is your problem, not mine.

What is Apify and why should I give a damn?

Apify is the platform that makes web scraping not suck. Instead of dealing with proxy rotation, captchas, browser fingerprinting, and all that nightmare fuel yourself, Apify handles the infrastructure while you focus on actually getting sh*t done. It's like having a team of demons working for you, except they won't steal your soul. Probably.

How do I get started? I'm not a nerd.

Even your grandma could figure this out. Go to apify.com, sign up (free, remember?), browse the Actor Store like it's Amazon for data nerds, find something that does what you need, click "Run". Boom. You're scraping. If you can order pizza online, you can use Apify. No PhD required, no BS coding bootcamp needed.

// ABOUT JOHN RIPPY

Who's the madman behind all this?

That would be John Rippy - certified 2025 Zapier Automation Hero and professional automation degenerate. While normal people have hobbies like golf or gardening, I build web scrapers for fun. Yeah, I know. I need help. When I'm not here building Apify actors, I'm over at Zap Arena automating Zapier workflows or at Duke's SEO Arsenal helping people dominate Google. Same energy, different weapons.

Can you build me something custom?

Hell yes. If the 200 actors here don't do what you need, slide into my DMs. Custom scrapers, weird API integrations, automation workflows that would make a normal developer cry - I've seen it all. If it can be coded, I can probably build it. Just don't ask me to scrape anything that'll land us both in federal prison. I look terrible in orange.

// ABOUT THIS SITE

Why the hell does this look like DOOM?

Because I spent months building 200 Apify actors and it felt exactly like clearing out a demon-infested Mars base - exhausting, violent, and weirdly satisfying. Plus, let's be honest - corporate landing pages with stock photos of people shaking hands make me want to gouge my eyes out. So I went full DOOM. No regrets. RIP AND TEAR through your data extraction tasks, baby.

Got any other unhinged projects?

Oh, you have no idea. Zap Arena is my Quake-themed Zapier automation site - because workflow automation should feel like fragging enemies, not filling out TPS reports. Then there's Duke's SEO Arsenal for SEMrush tools - Duke Nukem themed because SEO is basically kicking ass and taking rankings. Same unhinged developer energy, different retro game aesthetics. I have a problem and I refuse to seek treatment.
