Building an art historian agent: which scraping API survives long-term, Tavily or Apify?
raedyohed · reddit · 2026-11-08
A Redditor is building an open-model "Art Historian" agent that identifies artworks, artists and movements, and needs web scraping (mostly reverse-image search) wired into the pipeline.
They've been trialing free tiers of Google reverse-image/Lens endpoints via ScrapeBadger, Tavily, Apify and Oxylabs, and asked the community which services hold up for long-term value. The thread is a selection request, but the discussion may surface real-world comparisons of scraping APIs in agent workflows.
