## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Heuristic fallback — verify the package name and runner against the repository README before running it. Uses `npx` (confidence: low):

```json
"mcpServers": {
  "steady-api-scrapers": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y","steady-api-scrapers"]
  }
}
```

## Documentation & README

# Steady API: no-browser scrapers you can call in one HTTP request

Five small, reliable data extractors that run on [Apify](https://apify.com/steadyapi). None of them launch a browser, so runs are fast (usually 5 to 20 seconds) and cheap. Every tool returns clean JSON you can drop into a spreadsheet, a database, or an LLM prompt.

| Tool | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| [YouTube Transcript Scraper](https://apify.com/steadyapi/youtube-transcript-scraper) | Transcripts as text, timestamped segments, SRT or VTT, plus video metadata. No YouTube API key | $2 / 1,000 videos |
| [Google Hotels Scraper](https://apify.com/steadyapi/google-hotels-scraper) | Hotel name, nightly price, star class, rating, reviews, coordinates, photos | $2 / 1,000 hotels |
| [Google Ads Transparency Scraper](https://apify.com/steadyapi/google-ads-transparency-scraper) | Every ad a domain or advertiser runs, with format, first/last shown dates and regions | $1.50 / 1,000 ads |
| [Google Trends Scraper](https://apify.com/steadyapi/google-trends-scraper) | Interest over time, related and rising queries, related topics, interest by region | $2 / 1,000 results |
| [Threads Scraper](https://apify.com/steadyapi/threads-scraper) | Profile posts, single posts with replies, and keyword search, with engagement counts | $3 / 1,000 posts |

New Apify accounts get free monthly credit, which is enough to try every tool here.

## Quick start (Python, no dependencies)

```bash
export APIFY_TOKEN=your_token   # https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations
cd python
python youtube_transcript.py "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"
python google_hotels.py "hotels in tokyo"
python google_ads_transparency.py nike.com
python google_trends.py chatgpt gemini claude
python threads_profile.py zuck
```

## Quick start (Node 18+)

```bash
APIFY_TOKEN=your_token node node/run.mjs steadyapi~google-hotels-scraper '{"queries":["hotels in paris"],"maxHotelsPerQuery":10}'
```

## Ready-made examples

Each tool also has one-click example tasks on Apify, for example:

- [Compare hotel prices in Paris](https://apify.com/steadyapi/google-hotels-scraper)
- [See every Google ad a competitor runs](https://apify.com/steadyapi/google-ads-transparency-scraper)
- [Compare search interest for AI chatbots](https://apify.com/steadyapi/google-trends-scraper)
- [Download YouTube subtitles as SRT](https://apify.com/steadyapi/youtube-transcript-scraper)
- [Search Threads posts by keyword](https://apify.com/steadyapi/threads-scraper)

## How billing works

You pay per result row returned. Rows that describe an error (for example a private video) are also returned and billed, so you always see what happened to every input. Paid Apify plans get an extra 10 to 30 percent off automatically.

## Using with AI agents

All five tools are available through the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp), so Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients can call them directly.

Remote MCP endpoint with all five tools (send your Apify token as `Authorization: Bearer <token>`):

```text
https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=steadyapi/youtube-transcript-scraper,steadyapi/google-hotels-scraper,steadyapi/google-ads-transparency-scraper,steadyapi/google-trends-scraper,steadyapi/threads-scraper
```

This server is also listed in the official MCP Registry as `io.github.steadyapi/scrapers` (see `server.json`).
