Welcome to the NexGenData Resource Library — a single index of every category, guide, dataset, and tool we maintain. Whether you’re an analyst building a market model, a compliance officer monitoring enforcement actions, a recruiter sourcing startup talent, a journalist digging through public records, or an OSINT investigator following the paper trail, this page is the fastest way to find what we publish. Every link here points to a curated tool, a buyer-intent walkthrough, or a maintained dataset — nothing is paywalled behind a demo call, and every actor listed is live on the Apify Store today. Bookmark this page; we update it as new actors ship, new guides go live, and new data packs open for download. If you’re new, start with the eight tool categories below — each is a topic hub linking to every relevant scraper, tutorial, and reference page in that vertical. Already know the workflow you want? Jump straight to the buyer-intent guides for end-to-end recipes, or skim the featured actors table for the twelve scrapers that handle the bulk of real-world research jobs.
Data Tool Categories
Eight topical hubs covering the full NexGenData catalog. Each category page links to every actor, guide, and dataset in that vertical.
Market Intelligence
Public-data scrapers for analysts and researchers tracking news, press releases, search trends, and competitive signals. Best for product marketers, strategy teams, and equity analysts who need recurring snapshots of what’s moving in a category and don’t want to glue together five separate vendor feeds.
Regulatory & Compliance Data
Enforcement actions, sanctions lists, and regulator filings from ASIC, FCA, MAS, SFC, FTC, EPA, OFAC, and more. Built for AML, KYC, and due-diligence workflows where the source data needs to be primary, dated, and auditable rather than scraped from an aggregator.
Company & Startup Intelligence
YC directory exports, VC portfolio scrapers, funding trackers, and founder data. The go-to category for VC sourcing, executive recruiting, and startup-to-sale prospecting — wired so the output drops cleanly into a CRM, an ATS, or a Sheet without manual cleanup.
Lead Generation & Contact Extraction
Email finders, phone-number extractors, and B2B prospecting actors. Cleaner alternatives to expensive enrichment suites, with full control over input lists, output schema, and the rate of enrichment so you stay inside platform terms of service and consent obligations.
Asian Business & Financial Data
Coverage across China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, India, and Korea. Stock screeners, IPO calendars, regulator filings, and business registry scrapers for APAC research desks that need local-language sources rather than the second-hand summaries reshipped by Western data vendors.
Real Estate & Regional Market Data
Property listings, neighborhood comps, and rental data from Redfin, Zillow, Rightmove, and regional MLS sources across US, UK, EU, and APAC. Suitable for investor underwriting, relocation research, and journalism that needs neighborhood-grain pricing rather than national averages.
Financial Data Tools
Stocks, ETFs, crypto, FX, and bonds. Includes the SEC Form 13F tracker, ETF holdings exports, and FX rate feeds suitable for backtests, performance dashboards, and the kind of ad-hoc analysis that doesn’t justify a Bloomberg seat.
Public Registry & Institutional Data
Company registries, officer records, beneficial-ownership filings, and government procurement databases — the underlying primary sources for serious investigative work. Useful for OSINT researchers, investigative journalists, and corporate-intelligence teams who need to follow ownership chains across jurisdictions.
