Actorification – Deploying Web Scraping AI Agent on Apify 🚀

Hey Shubham,

We love what you’ve built with this Web Scraping AI Agent! Your work is truly impressive, and we believe Apify is the perfect place to run this app at scale. Apify’s platform makes deploying, managing, and scaling web scraping tasks incredibly easy. Plus, its Actor model—designed for serverless automation—aligns perfectly with this project’s goals. (Learn more in the Actor Whitepaper).

🔥 What’s in this PR?

This PR transforms the Web Scraping AI Agent into an Apify Actor, enabling seamless deployment on Apify’s cloud platform while keeping the local version intact.
