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.
Meet random people from your organization for a coffee with macarons or for a quick video call. ย Get to know your colleagues better and maybe even make new (work) friends.
๐ง Quick and Easy
Just add the Macarons app to a Slack channel and it will automatically pair off random members for (virtual) coffees.
๐ฐ Control the Odds
For each channel you can control how often and when chat lotteries happen, as well as how many people should be matched together.
๐ง Ice Breakers
Let Macarons get conversations started with predefined ice breakers or set your own custom topics for each round.
๐ Take a skip day
Independent of a channels meeting interval, each user can always individually pause their participation or decide to only take part every other time.

Data collection: Apify actors, one per source, that scrape the open-data endpoints and normalize them.

BYOK. It runs on your own Apify token. No shared keys, no lock-in, no licensing chokepoint โ a lesson the whole "Proxycurl shut down and stranded everyone" saga taught the space. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago
It took us a few months (I think it was 4) but now we released Macarons. After adding Macarons to the workspace you have to invite it to a channel and then can configure how often people of that channel are matched.
