### Combining Apify SDK and Crawlee

While these tools are distinct, they can be seamlessly combined. For example, you can use Crawlee to scrape data from a page and then use the Apify SDK to save that data in an Apify dataset. This integration allows developers to make use of the strengths of both tools while working within the Apify ecosystem.

The Apify platform fully supports Scrapy spiders. By [deploying your existing Scrapy code to Apify](https://apify.com/run-scrapy-in-cloud), you can take advantage of features like scheduling, monitoring, scaling, and API access, all without needing to modify your original spider. This process is made easy with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/), which allows you to convert your Scrapy spider into an Apify Actor with just a few commands. Once deployed, your spider can run in the cloud, offering a reliable and scalable solution for your web scraping needs.
