What it’s for
- Researching products, prices, assortments, promotions, reviews and ads in the markets you or your clients sell in.
- Monitoring competitors’ public prices, stock, ranks and listings, and compliance with your own or your clients’ minimum advertised prices.
- Improving your own or your clients’ product pages and listings.
- Research for clients and client reports, if you are an agency, consultant or analyst (below).
Agencies, client work and teams
- Client research and client reports are allowed. You may run research for your clients and give them reports, briefs and spreadsheets built on the results, as part of your service to them.
- Teams use an Apify Organization account, or one Apify account each. An Apify Organization account is Apify's own way for several people to work in one account; otherwise each person uses their own Apify account. Apify's terms don't allow anyone else to use a personal account, so don't share a sign-in. The account holder is responsible for how everyone working in the account follows this policy.
- What stays off-limits for client work is the same as for your own: the list below, including reselling raw provider data as a data product of your own.
Don’t use it to
- Write, buy, post or arrange fake reviews, or reviews in exchange for anything of value that the platform doesn’t allow.
- Copy another seller’s listing text, photos, designs or ads word for word or pixel for pixel.
- Source, make or sell counterfeits or replicas of a branded product, or use another brand’s name or logo without the right to.
- Collect personal data you have no lawful basis to process, or build profiles of individuals, including shoppers, reviewers or private sellers.
- Harass, track or target any person, or contact reviewers or sellers in ways their platform forbids.
- Get around a sign-in, a paywall or a site’s technical access controls, or read anything that isn’t public.
- Resell, sublicense or redistribute raw data obtained through our data providers as a data product of your own.
- Fix prices with competitors or break competition, consumer protection or advertising law.
- Overload a website: keep schedules and volumes to what your research needs.
- Break the law, the terms of Claude or Apify, or a site’s terms that bind you.
- Share your Apify sign-in, or share or sell access to your Apify account, other than by adding members to an Apify Organization account as Apify allows.
If something goes wrong
If we learn of use that breaks this policy, we may block the Apify account involved from running our actors. Where we can, we tell you first and give you a chance to fix it.
