Questions people actually ask.
The rest of this catalogue is built for pipelines: registries, catalogues, feeds. These are the ones built for a person — the answer you want before you sell something, buy a car, take a medicine or book a trip. Each links to the extractor and shows the fields it returns.
01 — tier 1
Used in a normal week
The ones you would reach for without thinking.
- “What is this actually selling for?”Sold comps, not asking prices — the difference between a realistic price and a hopeful one.ebay-sold-listings18 fields · 54 runs
- “Is this any good, and what do buyers complain about?”Reviews as data, so a 4.6-star average can be read for the pattern inside it.amazon-reviews-honest28 fields · 52 runs
- “What does this cost right now?”A price check that does not silently return a blank row.amazon-product-scraper-reliable21 fields · 55 runs
- “Which remote jobs match me this week?”Five boards normalised into one list, deduplicated.remote-jobs-aggregator23 fields · 37 runs
- “Tell me only what is new since last time”The difference between re-reading 300 postings and being told about the 3 that appeared.job-change-monitor8 fields · 60 runs
- “Is this address real, or a dead mailbox?”MX and SMTP checks, so a bounce is avoided before it happens.email-verifier-honest16 fields · 57 runs
02 — tier 2
A few times a year, or one big decision
Rare, but the answer matters when it comes.
- “Is this model recalled, and what do owners complain about?”NHTSA recalls and complaints together — the cheapest check before a five-figure purchase.vehicle-safety-report15 fields · 26 runs
- “Has anything I bought been recalled?”openFDA recalls by firm and product, so a kitchen check is a search rather than a news story.fda-recall-monitor18 fields · 18 runs
- “Is my medicine in shortage, and for how long?”Availability and shortage duration per product — the question a pharmacy cannot always answer.drug-shortage-monitor19 fields · 0 runs
- “When is the next public holiday where I am going?”Official holiday calendars per country, so a trip does not land on a closed day.nager-public-holidays8 fields · 0 runs
- “Was that an earthquake, and how big?”USGS events with place and magnitude, minutes after the fact.earthquake-monitor15 fields · 41 runs
- “When does my domain expire, and who is the registrar?”RDAP across every TLD — the expiry date is the one that bites.domain-registration17 fields · 0 runs
03 — tier 3
Occasional, or just useful to have
Not urgent — but there when you need it.
04 — questions
The questions behind the list
Answered directly, because that is the form an AI answer or a search snippet can quote.
- How do I find out what my used phone is actually worth?
- Look at completed sales, not asking prices. The eBay Sold Listings extractor returns one row per sold item with its price, date and condition, so you can price from evidence instead of hope.
- How can I check whether a used car has recalls before buying it?
- Search the make, model and year against NHTSA records. The Vehicle Safety Report extractor returns recall campaigns and owner complaints for that exact model year, one row per record with the component and the remedy.
- Where can I check if a medicine is in shortage?
- The Drug Shortage Monitor reads openFDA and returns each shortage record with its status, availability and how many days it has lasted. Availability of 'Not stated' means the record published no value — it does not mean the drug is available.
- How do I know if a product is good before buying it?
- Read the recent reviews rather than the star average. The Amazon Reviews extractor returns reviews as rows, so a 4.6-star score with forty recent one-star reviews about the same fault is visible as what it is.
- How do I convert currency for a trip?
- The FX Rates extractor returns 166 currencies against a base currency in one call, so a conversion is a lookup rather than a guess.
- When is the next public holiday in the country I am visiting?
- The Public Holidays extractor returns the official calendar for a country and year, with the local name of each holiday, so a trip does not land on a day when everything is shut.
- Will it rain this week?
- The weather extractor returns daily maximum and minimum temperature, precipitation and wind for any coordinates, as rows you can put in a sheet or a script.
Every one of these runs on Apify with no account of its own and no API key. Paste a value, press start, take the rows as CSV or JSON. The list grows as more everyday extractors finish review and go public.
