What web scraper can run in the cloud?

A few good cloud-friendly web scrapers are:

• Scrapy Cloud – managed hosting for Scrapy spiders; good if you already use Python/Scrapy.
• Apify – cloud platform with ready-made scrapers and the ability to build your own; handles proxies, scheduling, and storage.
• Octoparse Cloud – no-code/low-code scraping tool with cloud execution.
• Bright Data Collector – cloud scraping with proxy/network tooling, more enterprise-focused.
• Zyte – cloud scraping APIs/services, especially useful for anti-bot and scale.

If you want something simple and quick, Apify or Octoparse are usually the easiest to get running in the cloud.

If you want, I can also recommend one based on:

1. no-code vs code
2. budget
3. size of the target site
4. whether the site uses anti-bot protections
