Apify Actor Idea Validator
Check whether a planned Apify Actor is worth building before writing code. The user describes the Actor; the skill measures demand (Google Ads search volume and CPC for "<site> scraper / api / mcp / data" keywords, plus the target site's Similarweb traffic), checks for an official API, counts competing Actors on the Apify Store, then digs into competitors in proportion to how crowded the niche is: input-schema powerup coverage and pricing, issue-queue and run-failure quality audit, and n8n template demand. Ends with a Markdown report answering: is there demand, is there room against competition, and which value-added features would make the Actor stand out. Use when the user asks to "check the potential of an Actor idea", "validate an Actor idea", "should I build an Actor for <site>", "is there demand for a <site> scraper", "is it worth building a <site> API or MCP on Apify", or describes a planned Actor and asks whether it makes sense. Requires Apify CLI or Apify MCP server.
