- _No monitoring:_ Even if we knew how to set up a server or home installation so our scraper runs regularly, we'd have little insight into whether it ran successfully, what errors or warnings occurred, how long it took, or what resources it used.

To overcome these limitations, we'll use [Apify](https://apify.com/), a platform where our scraper can run independently of our computer. Apify expects our code to be structured as an Actor, so the setup is a bit heavier at first. But it pays off quickly - once we're ready, deploying to the platform is almost just one command.

First, we'll use a few commands to set up an Actor template, and then we'll prompt ChatGPT to generate the code for scraping that Sales page.
