Welcome to Lantfly
Lantfly is a hosted platform for web scraping, browser automation and social listening. You run ready-made scrapers (called actors) or your own, keep the results in managed storage, run them on a schedule, and get notified when they finish. On top of that platform, Listening follows hashtags, profiles, pages and keywords across social networks, news sites and forums and turns them into one feed with analytics.
Who it is for
- Marketing, brand and agency teams who want to follow what people say about a brand, a campaign or a competitor, without writing code. Start with Listening.
- Analysts and operations teams who need data from websites, marketplaces, maps or app stores in a spreadsheet, on a schedule. Start with the Console quickstart.
- Developers who want to call scrapers from their own code, or build and publish their own actors. Start with the API quickstart and Build actors.
Two products on one platform
Platform
Everything you need to run scrapers and automations:
| Building block | What it does |
|---|---|
| Actors | Packaged programs (Docker images) that scrape or automate something. Pick one from the Store or build your own. |
| Runs | One execution of an actor with an input. Each run has a live log, a status, results and usage. |
| Storage | Datasets (result items), key-value stores (records and files) and request queues (URLs to crawl). |
| Tasks and Schedules | Save an actor with its input, then run it in one click or on a cron schedule. |
| Webhooks | Call your URL when a run starts, succeeds or fails. Deliveries are signed. |
| Monitors | Get an alert when a run fails, takes too long, returns too few results or costs too much. |
| Proxy | One rotating proxy endpoint with groups, countries and sticky sessions, billed per GB. |
Listening
Social listening for TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Threads, X, Pinterest, Vietnamese news sites and forums, plus product, place and app reviews. You create a project, add sources, and Lantfly collects posts and comments into a feed with sentiment, analytics, exports, alerts, reports and a public wall. See Listening.
