Hello dev.to community! 👋

I'm António, a Computer Science MSc student with a great interest in web scraping, back-end development, and in general into decentralized systems. Within the last years, I have been joining my academic research with a practical freelance activity. Recently, I started a thorough study of web scraping and issued two new Actors on Apify: Newegg Scraper and Glovo Scraper as freely available Apify Actors.

In this post, I'll walk you through what these scrapers do, how they can benefit your projects, and how to get started using them. Whether you're into market analysis, competitive research, or building data-driven applications, these tools are designed to save you time and effort.
