How to connect Apify and OCR Space
Create a New Scenario to Connect Apify and OCR Space
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.
Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Apify, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Apify or OCR Space will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Apify or OCR Space, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.
Add the Apify Node
Select the Apify node from the app selection panel on the right.

- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Apify, OCR Space, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Apify and OCR Space integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Apify and OCR Space (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Apify and OCR Space
Apify + OCR Space + Google Sheets: An Apify actor scrapes product data from a website. OCR Space extracts text from product images found during the scrape. Finally, the extracted text and product information are added as a new row in a Google Sheet.
Apify + OCR Space + Airtable: An Apify actor scrapes images from a website. OCR Space extracts text from those images. Finally, the extracted text is stored as a new record in Airtable, creating a structured database of image-derived information.
