🧹 Scraped Data Cleaner & Converter (No-Code CSV/JSON Tool)

Clean and filter scraped datasets from .json or .csv files — no coding required.

This Actor helps you transform messy data into clean, analysis-ready results. Whether you're working with leads, profiles, product listings, or survey results, it removes the noise and gives you back structured rows that actually matter.

✅ Features

• Accepts both .csv and .json files (uploaded directly or linked from Apify Key-Value Store)
• Removes duplicate rows based on a field you choose (e.g. email, sku)
• Discards rows missing required data
• Choose whether all required fields must be filled or just one
• Optionally remove rows with no meaningful values
• Filter rows that match a specific field-value pair (e.g. status = active)
• Delete unwanted fields (columns in CSV / keys in JSON)
• Sort rows by one or more fields (text, number, date supported)
• Pushes cleaned results to the Apify dataset for flexible exporting

🧾 How to Use

The Actor provides a clean no-code interface. Just upload a file and select any combination of cleaning options.

1.1 📁 Uploaded Data File

Upload a .csv or .json file manually — or enter a full Apify Key-Value Store URL pointing to one.

When uploading directly, you'll see a window titled “Upload file to key-value store” with these options:

• ✅ New temporary storage (recommended) — creates short-lived storage with no additional cost
• 🗂️ New permanent storage — for keeping the file long-term
• 📁 Existing storage — reuse an existing Apify KV store

If you’re cleaning a one-off dataset, just use the default temporary option. It’s lightweight, instant, and cost-free.

1.2 🧠 Deduplicate By Field

Specify a field name (e.g. email, id) to remove duplicate rows. Only the first occurrence of each unique value is kept.

1.3 🧹 Remove Empty Rows

Enable to discard rows where all fields are blank, null, or empty strings. Works for both JSON and CSV rows.

2.1.1 🔎 Must-Have Fields

List field names (e.g. email, profile, company) that should contain data. Rows missing those fields will be removed.

2.1.2 🔎 Match All Required Fields

Enable for strict filtering: only rows with all listed fields filled will be kept.
Disable to allow rows with any one field filled.

2.2.1 🎯 Filter by Field

Specify a field name (e.g. members) to match against a specific value.

2.2.2 🎯 Match Specific Value

Enter the exact value the field should contain (e.g. pro). Only rows with that exact match will be kept.

3.1 🪓 Remove Columns (optional)

List column names you want deleted from every row (status, id, etc.). Applies to both CSV and JSON files.

4.1 📌 Sort By Fields

Enter a list of field names to sort by, in order of priority (status, createdAt, email, etc.).

4.2 🔄 Sort Descending

Enable to reverse the sort direction (Z–A, latest-to-earliest, etc.).

📁 Output

Cleaned rows are pushed to your Apify dataset.
You can export in any format — CSV, JSON, Excel, HTML Table, RSS, JSONL, and more — from the Actor run page or via API.

🧠 What’s It Good For?

Let’s say you scraped a bunch of data — like contacts, products, survey answers, whatever. This tool helps clean it up and make it actually usable.

You can:

• Get rid of duplicate entries, like the same email showing up twice
• Filter out rows that are missing stuff you care about — like empty emails or profiles
• Keep only the ones with specific values (like people who have status: active or members: pro)
• Delete random columns you don’t need, like internalNotes or debugInfo
• Sort everything — by date, group, name, whatever you want
• Convert between .json and .csv so you can open the file wherever
• Basically, take any messy scraped file and make it clean, neat, and ready to use

It’s like having a smart assistant that tidies your data for you without writing a single line of code.

🛠 No Coding Required

You don’t need any JavaScript, parsing logic, or scripting knowledge. Just upload your file, tweak a few inputs, and go.

Ideal for:

• Marketers analyzing scraped leads
• Researchers organizing field data
• Journalists working with tabular records
• Data-driven workflows powered by no-code integrations

⚖️ Pay Per Event (PPE) vs Rental – Which Version Should You Use?

If you clean data occasionally and want zero billing surprises, use the PPE version — simple, predictable pricing.
If you run this frequently (e.g. 100+ runs/month), the Rental version offers better long-term value, and includes a 7-day free trial.
