Machine learning

Web data is the fuel of AI, machine learning, and LLMs. Get the data you need for your ML projects.

Infinite web data to power up your machine learning

Web scraping has made gathering large training datasets from the web much easier, but the more complex your AI, the greater the size of the dataset you need. To acquire diverse data from a wide range of sources, you need web scrapers that can scale. Apify has the tools and expertise to get the data you need fast.

Data ingestion for LLMs

Data ingestion is a process that begins with data collection. The data collected needs to be relevant to the task the LLM is being trained for. That means you need the right scraping tool for the right data type. Apify has a range of tools designed to get specific kinds of data. Automatically filter what you need to feed and train your large language models.

Frequently asked questions

Web scraping is the automated process of extracting data from websites using software. Machine learning uses this data to train models for various applications such as sentiment analysis, recommender systems, and fraud detection.

It’s important to monitor and check for errors in your data and to make sure that the data is representative of the population it’s meant to represent. Sampling techniques and data cleaning methods can help improve data quality.

In supervised learning, scraped data can be labeled for training classification or regression models. In unsupervised learning, it can be used for clustering or association analysis to uncover patterns and relationships in the data.

Knock yourself out! Our platform was built to host and run thousands of scrapers. You can customize a universal Web Scraper or start a new one with some of our ready-made templates in Python, JavaScript, or TypeScript. You can keep the scraper to yourself or make it public by adding it to Apify Store (and even make a little cash out of it). You can also integrate your scraper with other popular data processing services such as Keboola, Airbyte, or Zapier.
