Apify is a JavaScript & Node.js based data extraction tool for websites that crawls lists of URLs and automates workflows on the web. With Apify you can manage and automatically scale a pool of headless Chrome / Puppeteer instances, maintain queues of URLs to crawl, store crawling results locally or in the cloud, rotate proxies and much more.
Docsmith turns your OpenAPI / Swagger specification into complete, branded API documentation in 60 seconds โ no manual writing required.
Built and operated by an indie founder in Pune, India.

Docsmith's answer:
Docsmith is the only OpenAPI documentation tool that writes the prose for you. Competing tools (ReadMe, Stoplight, Apidog) give you a polished editor, but you still hand-write every endpoint description, every parameter explanation, every error-code reference. Docsmith reads your OpenAPI 2.0 / 3.0 spec and AI-generates the full content in under 60 seconds โ endpoint descriptions, parameter tables, working curl examples, and an error-code reference โ then exports clean static HTML or Markdown you self-host. No CMS to maintain, no team subscription, no vendor lock-in.
Docsmith's answer:
Three reasons.
Best fit when you want documentation-as-a-deliverable rather than documentation-as-a-CMS.
Docsmith's answer:
Indie API builders and small API teams that ship endpoints faster than they document them. Typical users:
The common pattern: a working OpenAPI spec already exists, the team cares about good docs, but writing prose for every endpoint is a tax they don't want to pay.
Docsmith's answer:
Docsmith started after the founder spent two full days writing endpoint descriptions for a 40-route OpenAPI spec โ work that an LLM can do in 90 seconds with better consistency.
The first version was a personal CLI script. After a few API teams asked for it, it became a hosted product with email-only auth, two pricing tiers (Free + Pro), and a 60-second turnaround promise.
Built and operated solo by Bikram from Pune, India. Launched April 2026.
Docsmith's answer:
The stack is intentionally boring โ the value is in the prompt engineering and the spec parser, not the framework choices.

Native @apify scheduling, dataset exports (CSV/JSON), webhooks, and it's callable by AI agents via Apify MCP. - Source: dev.to / 4 days ago
That runs News Scraper on Apify, which is the same forty lines plus the parts that are Tedious rather than hard: both feeds, the nested publisher element, the date Normalisation, and deduplication. - Source: dev.to / 25 days ago
That runs an Apify Actor I maintain, Domain Scraper, because the Tedious parts are the RDAP bootstrap, the vcard unpacking and the provider Fingerprinting rather than the HTTP call. If you would rather do it yourself, Https://rdap.org/domain/ is the whole API and it needs no key. - Source: dev.to / 25 days ago
Data collection: Apify actors, one per source, that scrape the open-data endpoints and normalize them. Quebec RBQ ships a daily bulk CSV (inside a 10.8 MB zip, ~924k rows that dedupe to ~54k active licences). Ontario HCRA has no bulk file โ it's an internal JSON API behind the public registry. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago
