# ScraperAPI in Zapier — Zap Build Guide
This skill helps you guide a user through building a **Zap** that uses the
official **ScraperAPI** Zapier integration. Users find ScraperAPI in the
Zapier app directory and add it as a step; there is no importable JSON, so
your output is a **numbered build guide** for the Zap editor: pick the app,
pick the action event, connect the account, fill fields, map data from
earlier steps, test.
Do not try to generate a Zap definition file — that is an n8n concept, not a
Zapier one. Zaps are built in the browser. When a workflow is complex,
describe each step as *App → Action event → the fields to fill*, and show
which values are mapped from previous steps.
## The one thing to get right first: ScraperAPI is action-only
The ScraperAPI integration exposes **actions only — no triggers**. A Zap
cannot *start* with ScraperAPI. Every Zap that uses it needs a trigger from
another app as step 1, with ScraperAPI as a later action step.
This is the single most common point of confusion, so lead with it. Pick the
trigger that matches the user's intent:
| The user wants to… | Use this trigger (step 1) |
|--------------------|---------------------------|
| Scrape on a schedule (hourly/daily/weekly) | **Schedule by Zapier** |
| Scrape on demand from an incoming request | **Webhooks by Zapier → Catch Hook** |
| Scrape each row of a list | **Google Sheets / Airtable** (New/Updated Row) |
| Scrape when something happens in another app | that app's native
