Hi Dank,
Welcome to Apify in 2021! We’re bursting with enthusiasm for what has to be a better year and are already expanding our platform, the Apify team, and coming up with lots of new and innovative ways to automate the web 🤖
[1] Live actor run charts in Apify app 📈
You can now see exactly how your actors are performing, with our new live charts for memory and CPU usage.
[Image “usagechart.gif”] If you look closely, you’ll see an unusually high value for maximum CPU usage. This is because actors are given an extra boost to improve startup times 💪
—> Go to your Apify app now to see the chart in action!
[2] Scrape Google Trends with our detailed tutorial 🔮
Google Trends gives you almost superhuman powers of prediction. You can extend these powers with web scraping and gain insight into how people search, and think, across Google.
[Image “googletrends.jpg”] Our Google Trends Scraper is easy to use, but you might like to see a step-by-step tutorial on how to get the most out of it.

[3] Improvements to Apify API 🧰👷
We’ve made some improvements to the Apify API over the last few weeks to make the API cleaner and more intuitive. Don’t worry – all changes are backward compatible, so you don’t need to change your integrations. But if you’re a developer, you might want to check these out.
API endpoints for actor runs
– Get list of all runs per user
– Get object that contains all details about specific actor run
– Abort actor run
– Transform actor run into run for another actor, with new input
– Resurrect finished actor run
API endpoints for actor builds
– Get list of all builds per user
– Get object that contains all details about specific actor build
– Abort actor build
Unnamed storages now possible
We’ve made the name parameter for storages (dataset, key-value store, request queue) optional. This means you can create unnamed storages. You can find out the difference between named and unnamed storages in our extensive docs.

[4] Helping the planet with data 🌐🌱🌳🌎
Omdena is a platform where the global AI community collaborates to find innovative and ethical solutions to real-world issues. Omdena used Apify’s ready-made Google Search Results Scraper to scrape and download thousands of policy documents that could then be used to identify ways to promote forest and landscape restoration in Latin America.
