2,000 Runs in 3 Days: Real Revenue Data from Launching 13 Korean Scrapers on Apify

What I Built Over the past few weeks, I built and deployed 13 specialized scrapers targeting Korean web platforms — Naver (search, blogs, places, news, webtoons, Q&A), Melon charts, Daangn Market, Bunjang, YES24, and Musinsa rankings.

All 13 are open-source on Apify Store under the sessionzero account. The PPE Activation Timeline Apify's Pay-Per-Event (PPE) model doesn't activate instantly.
