# Introduction to Apify

Apify offers a powerful platform, but it is not always easy to use it without prior experience with scraping or automation.

The articles in this section show you the best way to get started. If you don't want to write code, you can always look into our ready-made [solutions](https://apify.com/store) or ask a skilled member of the [Apify community](https://apify.com/partners/freelancers) to build a solution for you.

First, though, take a tour of our platform to see all of its features.
