Today is moving day. Im sitting in a half-packed apartment, waiting for the notary to confirm the wire transfer for the house keys. And somewhere in the background, the 13th Korean data scraper just activated pay-per-event pricing. I almost missed it. What "13/13" Means Twelve days ago, I deployed the first Actor on Apify. The plan was simple: build Korean data scrapers that nobody else had made, monetize them through the platform, and see what happened. Thirteen scrapers later: Naver Place Search (maps, businesses, GPS) Naver Blog Search & Reviews Naver News Scraper Naver KiN (Q&A data) Melon Chart (K-pop rankings) Daangn Market (used goods) Bunjang Marketplace YES24 Bookstore Naver Webtoon Naver Place Photos Musinsa Rankings (fashion — activated today) Every single one is now on pay-per-event. No free tier. The infrastructure is complete. The Numbers on D+12 Total runs: 8,949 (up from 7,633 two days ago) Actor Runs Users naver-news-scraper 6,168 4 naver-place-search 814 18 na
